Updated complaint to the UN: Revised paragraph 8

Part 1: St Mungo’s Broadway: Seeking to illegally break our contract with the Mayor of London's Greater London Authority (GLA) Housing First programme under threat of eviction

Revised paragraph 8

8. The Applicant informed the IPT that he and his wife were living at the time in the same 'safe house' MI5 whistleblower David Shayler lived in for a couple of years (until 2007), where they were being repeatedly threatened and harassed by their live-in landlady, human rights activist Belinda McKenzie (see paragraphs 23-24 below). According to BBC Panorama, Mr Shayler "caused the biggest crisis of official secrecy since the spy catcher affair" – he was jailed for seven weeks in 2002 for breaking the Official Secrets Act. It is unfortunate that Mr Shayler declared that he was the Messiah in 2007, became a squatter, and was subsequently ridiculed in the press and media for changing his name to Delores Kane. A New Statesman article published in September 2006 featuring Mr Shayler and Ms McKenzie gives no indication that Mr Shayler believed he was the Messiah at that time; whilst a Daily Mail interview with Mr Shayler explicitly shows he believed himself to be Jesus by June 2007 (see Annex 2, MI5/GCHQ: MI5 whistleblower David Shayler, p. 19). The Applicant and his wife were evicted from their flat in this property on 14 March 2013, after Ms McKenzie's ex-husband, Dr Nigel McKenzie, a consultant psychiatrist in Highgate Mental Health Centre, wrote a letter to a Circuit Court judge on behalf of Ms McKenzie, stating that the Applicant and his wife’s flat was required for somebody with a mental illness (see paragraph 25 below).

The Esquire article below* is mentioned in a Guardian article dated 27 March 2012. It is an eye-opener, highlighting the monitoring and surveillance that Shayler had to live with back in 2000, and the contradictory briefings and slanders that were coming out of the British establishment and the media. The author, Dr Eamonn O'Neill, is a lecturer in journalism at Strathclyde University.
