* UK Secret Bases -- it's back! *

A full wide-ranging investigation into the "incident" has been launched by Virgin Media, prompted by intense interest by London broadsheet newspapers.

I have completely rebuilt the whole website from a backup image that was (completely by fluke) only one day old at the time of sudden loss. In subsequent days, the website suffered repeated corruption after initial attempts at rebuilding and also intermittent access problems.

At the time of writing this, the webspace provided by Virgin Media is behaving normally and all visitors' bookmarked URLs will remain the same for now.

After I made a formal approach, I have just had confirmation from the UK Government's D-Notice Committee (www.dnotice.org.uk) that NO requests for censorship were behind the incident and the agencies consulted by the Committee (MoD, MI5, MI6, GCHQ) continue to have no problems with my website's contents.

The findings from Virgin Media's internal inquiry will take a few weeks to be presented.

I hope you can publish this urgently:-

UK Secret Bases website is deleted by host company Virgin Media (formerly NTL)

I started experiencing intermittent access problems on Monday 6th August 2007 and assumed just a temporary local network fault.

However, a regular reader emailed me today reporting same.

I complained to Virgin Media technical helpdesk tonight, Tuesday 7th August 2007 at 10pm and they then promptly deleted my whole webspace!

NTL hosted my webspace with no problems since August 2003.

Virgin Media acquired NTL only a matter of months ago in 2007.

More to follow ...

I have a full backup and will act accordingly very soon.

Would appreciate you publicising worldwide ASAP.
