Spooks and the dog that didn't bark in the night
One of the things I routinely do is email stuff to myself so that I have got a record of what I'm doing. I am an old man. I need to do these things. So when I discovered that my website had been hacked into by MI5 (or more likely GCHQ on behalf of MI5) I sent myself an email containing the missing story. This email contained the link to the original source. That's important for me. I try to make sure everything I write is well supported. However, when I wrote a repeat of the story (as you will see below it is about MI5's Chinese nonsense) the source disappeared. I thought 'damn, I forgot to include the source'. So I went back to my Gmail account. All trace of the email (with source) had disappeared. Then I looked at my Fasthosts email account. Once again the email had gone. Conan Doyle wrote a Sherlock Holmes story about the dog that didn't bark. Sometimes, disappearance is the strongest kind of evidence.
		The original Facebook post from September 2023. Hackers removed this post from my website, but clearly Facebook is outside their control: it probably requires a legitimate reason for censorship and red faces at MI5 does not cut it!
