Part One of Andi Ali's submission to Bill Brooke Civil Service Commissioners Office regarding Racial Harassment, Victimisation and Discrimination he was subjected to within HMRC, as well as Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) misusing public money to charge him with being an extremist for heckling the Neo Nazi BNP

Submission of case before Civil Service Commissioners

1) When Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) charged me (and found me guilty) of being an extremist for heckling the British National Party (BNP), at a peaceful protest in Burnley, (after my details had been put on a BNP hit list called Redwatch), they breached section 13 of the Civil Service Code which covers Political Impartiality.

This is because Civil Servants:

(A) allow their personal political views to determine advice they gave, for example, HMRC solicitors and mangers should not have misused public funds to charge me with being an extremist for heckling the BNP, and only did so, because it was their personal view that heckling the BNP made me an extremist.

 (B) acted in a way that was determined by party political considerations,

 (C) used official resources for party political purposes,

 (E) allowed their political belifs to determined their actions.

(2) When Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) charged me of expressing support for suicide bombers, sexual harassment and bullying, and then admitted the allegations were false, they breached section 2 of the Civil Service Code which covers its core values of integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality.

This is because Civil Servants:

(A) failed to uphold their obligations and put their own personal interests above that of the public service;

(B) failed to uphold it core values of integrity, objectivity and impartiality,

(C) failed to act impartially in deciding the merits of the case,

(D) failed to be objective and base their advice and decisions on a rigious analysis of the evidence.

   For example, HMRC investigators switched off tapes during interviews and against recognised procedures, and encouraged staff to submit false allegations of sexual harassment against me. That was not being objective and that was not basing their advice and decisions on a rigorous analysis of the evidence. Quite the opposite.

  (3) When Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) charged me falsely of expressing support for suicide bombers, sexual harassment, bullying, and being an extremist for heckling the BNP, they breached section 5 of the Civil Service Code which deals with integrity:

This is because Civil Servants:

    (A) failed to act a way that was professional and that deserves and retains the confidence of all those with whom they had dealings;

    (B) failed to make sure that public money was used properly and efficiently. (For example, using public money to charge and convict me with being an extremist for heckling the BNP outside of work, was hardly using public money properly and efficiently);

  (C) failed to comply with the law and uphold the the administration of justice. (For example, making false sexual allegations against me on more than one occasion, was an offence under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, and accusing me of expressing support for suicide bombers, was 'Racial Harrassment' which is a criminal offence under the law.


 (4) When Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) charged me falsely of expressing support for suicide bombers, sexual harassment, bullying, and being an extremist for heckling the BNP, they breached section 7 of the Civil Service Code which deals with honesty:

This is because Civil Servants:


  (A) Failed to set out the facts and relevant issues truthfully, and correct any errors as soon as possible; and,

 (B) failed to use resources only for the authorised public purposes for which they were provided,


(5) When Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) told my Member of Parliament that they had not charged me with expressing support for sucide bombers, sexual harassment, bullying, and being an extremist for heckling the BNP, and/or all investigations would be conducted fairly and in accordance with the rules, they breached section 8 of the Civil Service Code which deals with honesty:

This is because Civil Servants:

   (A) actions were influenced by the prospect of personal gain, such as promotion

   (D) were influenced by improper pressures from other,

  (C) deceived and knowling deceived Members of Parliament.

There are other breaches of the Code, but following our discussion on the telephone, two weeks ago, you asked me to put only a few of them in writing so you can beinn an investigation.

Further, when HMRC sacked me after Neil Richardson, and senior manger within HMRC sent me a letter saying, I had breached my contract for amongst things, raising concerns of inappropriate behaviour within HMRC under the Civil Service Code and Public Information Disclosure Act (1998), this was a breach of the code and of the PIDA, which make it unlawful to dismiss staff for raising concerns. Further, what happened at HMRC was unlawful and I am pursing this as a criminal matter.

Finally, one Civil Servant has implied that Civil Servants who commit criminal acts are covered under the Official Secrets Act. I do not take that view. I take the view that Civil Servants who engage in criminal behaviour, such as racial harassment, are bound by the same laws as everybody else. I also stand by my view that there is nothing extremist in heckling the BNP at a peaceful protest. The BNP are a nasty racist party, whose views should have no place in the Civil Service.
