Bill Pickup (HMRC – Head of National Operational Service) letter to HMRC whistleblower, Andi Ali, dated, 5 July, 2007, where he concludes that when HMRC charged and convicted Mr Ali of being an extremist for heckling the BNP at a peaceful anti racist protest in Burnley, the department should not have pursued that and other complaints the way it did. Bizarrely, he also concludes that they were not pursued as a result of racial discrimination, even though Mr Ali was also convicted of expressing support for suicide bombers on account of him wearing an Arabic headscarf at work. (Couldn’t make it up).
