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.

HMRC charged me with expressing support for suicide bombers simply for wearing this arabic headscarf? Racist and pathetic. BNPGATE

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs acussed my of expressing support for suicide bombers because I was wearing an arabic headscarf at work at the Tax Credit Office in Preston. HMRC upheld that charge and sacked me when I would not drop this and other matters with the Civil Service Commissoners and other bodies. How does wearing an arabic headscarf (I am a quarter arabic) mean I am expressing support for suicide bombers? What a nasty and racist thing for a goverment department to do. Case still with the Civil Service Commissoners.
