But this week, a subscriber's copy who used a gov.uk domain was blocked. And here's the reason that I received.
The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham does not allow e-mails through its mail gateway that may contain offensive words or phrases. You sent such an e-mail to (email address removed by me) on Sat, 6 Dec 2008 01:50:33 -0500 (EST) with the subject of The Gathering Storm Weekly Storm Report This message was not delivered to the recipient but has been quarantined by The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham MAILSweeper Service.
I wonder if it was this recent Winston Curchill Golden Balls Award that did it.
The Golden Balls Award goes each week to the most flagrant Appeaser or Apologist or those that outright lie that has done most to undermine our defense against Islamists. This weeks Golden Balls Award goes to:
Cannon Rob Morris
HISTORIC BRITISH PUB RENAMED - WAS OFFENSIVE TO MUSLIMS
The home of the famous Saracen's Head, in Kings Norton Green, will become known as Saint Nicolas Place said its owners, at the nearby St Nicolas Church.
Angry letters fired off to the Mail said the church had no right to "wipe away 300 years of history" for fear of offending Muslims.
Ann Spooner, of Kings Norton, wrote: "To us it will always be the Saracen's Head."
The 18th-century former inn was originally built as a rich wool merchant's house in the 1400s and was given to the church in 1930. In 2004 it won £500,000 to help bring it back to its former glory in the BBC programme Restoration.
Cannon Rob Morris said the church consulted with its congregation of more than 300 and the Friends of Historic Kings Norton in reaching the controversial choice.
In 2004 the Birmingham Mail reported how the Very Rev Morris said the name was "offensive" to Muslims. But he said the reason behind the name-change was to stop people from mistaking the building - now a community centre and church office - for a pub.
Yeah - right.
Keith Carton, from Kings Norton, said: "When was the last time anyone can recall coach loads of lager louts turning up for a heavy session?"
Congratulations to the Re. Rob Morris! You can check in and claim your award at Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay.
I guess alerting the Kaffirs to the weekly intimidation, infiltration, disinformation tactics of the Islamists and those appeasers and apologists that enable their agenda is a no-no in the UK
Surprise! Surprise!

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham is NOT the UK government. Barking is probably left wing dominated whilst Dagenham has a strong BNP representation on the council.
As for the Saracens Head I doubt whether it has anything to do with offending Muslims. From an English point of view any name such as this with the name "head" in it such as Kings Head, Queens Head, Saracens Head is immediately identified as a pub. It is inconceivable that a building would be named that way if it is not a pub. The building has had a change of use therefor a change of name is appropriate in these circumstances.
Imagine the idea that a anyone in any department of any western government thinks that anything you send out is offensive.
That is so anti-freedom it is inconceivable to me. But, that's our modern world.
Also, let it be noted that, when I go on the road on business the Embassy Suites blocks IBA in the lobby areas.

First of all, my subscriber had a .GOV.UK email address. So it is a branch of the UK government.
Second, Morris said in the article that the name was "offensive" to Muslims.
It not any clearer than that.
WC,
The British people need to grow a spine.
AOL has careful filtering of emails originating from Bezeqint.Net and Netvision.Net.....both Israeli ISP's.
WC,
Local government may use gov.uk but that's a catch-all. Are we saying that Dagenham Council which is BNP represents the UK Government?
It's like saying that a sheriff from a small county in a US state is speaking/acting in representing the US government. We all know there are many US whackos in that position.
Rob Morris said "it may offend some Muslims" So what, who TF is he? The fact is there are no reports muslims were offended. As I said from reading the report THE reason the name was changed is because it only pertains to a pub.
I am just as much an infidel and islamophobe as anyone else here but but I try to apply some reason and commonsense. These hyped media stories only serve to induce readers like Damien to say "the British people need to grow a spine" which is a gross overstatement. It's nothing to do with the British people it's to do with the media and one idiot who made a passing statement that had nothing to do with the facts.
Here's another instance where media and bloggers jumped on the bandwaggon and I applied the facts which show they were wrong:

Quite right Ray.
the It department will have compiled a list of some offensive words and ALL emails containing such words will be blocked.
There was a case when an email referring to the East Coast town of Scunthorpe was blocked!!!
As an ex senior Local Government Officer I would have BLOCKED ALL PRIVATE USE of official email addresses.
WHY? because it WASTES masses of time and is essentially NO better than a council employed bricklayer stealing bricks! That is THEFT (of time re the emails because they ARE read in taxpayer funded time)
there that's my twopennorth
