HMRCLEAKS: Blog of a Civil Service whistleblower in Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs HMRC

Would you speak out if you knew Her Majesty Revenue and Customs had misused thousands of pounds of public funds to charge you with being an extremist for heckling the British National Party at a peaceful protest in Burnley? Would you refuse to drop your case with the Civil Service Commissioners if you were warned by HMRC you would be sacked if you did not? If your wondering why I did then perhaps when you've read these internal letters, reports, and e-mails you’ll understand.

Her Majestry and Customs own investigators admit in a secret report that they did charge me with being an extremist for heckling the BNP

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs claimed they never charged me or sacked me for being an extremist for heckling the BNP. However, in an internal report to the Civil Service Commissioners HMRC investigators state:

"In our view it was wholly inappropriate for this matter [claim that I was an extremist for heckling the BNP at a peaceful protest in Burnley] to be included in grievance complaint, both on the grounds that taking part in a lawful demonstration is not conduct that any reasonable person could object to and also because there is no link with work".

Oh dear oh dear.... so HMRC did misuse public funds to charge me with being an extremist for heckling the BNP then. No wonder HMRC are backtracking.
