E-mail from Joanne Lewis (HMRC) to Richard Summersgill (Director of the Tax Credit Office) requesting a meeting after the department had found me guilty of being an extremist for heckling the BNP after her staff (and Lewis herself) had submitted complaints against me. Note Lewis’s request (dated 26 January, 2006) to Richard Summersgill for a meeting to discuss the case with him to support her staff and speed up the process. Then note Summersgill’s response, Andy Farrar’s (Head of Tax Credit Processing) response, and Francine Pugh’s response. (Point to note, under HMRC’s Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures,) Lewis should not have been discussing this case with anybody but the HMRC investigators and only then on tape. Now we see that Lewis was not only discussing it with Summersgill, but the latter had assured her that “adequate support would be in place to support her staff” (fellow complainants). Could not make it up.
