Letter to Richard Thomas, Information Commissioner, 6th May 2009
Decision Notice FS 50082420
Dear Commissioner
We are astounded that the ICO still maintains that its biased Decision Notice is its last word in our case? We claim our Revenue/VOA case was handled by untrained staff, an ‘invisible and unaccountable group all but immune to scrutiny’. Then there is the complicity by the Parliamentary Ombudsman attempting to get the fraudulent Revenue ‘off the hook’. The ICO however, saw the fraudulent acts by the Ombudsman and Revenue/VOA as worthy of the ‘old pals’ cover-up considerations!
The Revenue/VOA, guilty of treating us so corruptly, have been guilty of numerous crooked exercises, the ICO turns a blind eye at these constant bureaucratic abominations. The HMRC legal dept. has been caught out as being dishonest in British courts. The Parliamentary Accounts Committee reports that virtually half the fraud across all government depts was taken by Revenue staff. The Chief Operating Officer who helps bring villains to account, even imprisoned, was removed from office, a nice friendly old pals act, no trial for him; a matter of some £100,000 was involved? A woman tells how she received from the Revenue her full personal details, and also the names addresses and personal data of 6 other members of the public “serious institutionalised deficiencies”.
The Times claimed the HMRC had over 2000 breeches of the DPA in one year? We recently hear how Revenue tax inspectors received over £8m extra pay 2006/7/8 because of a ‘glitch’, how many more glitches are in the pipeline? Accountancy Web suggests that someone was needed to weed out the cultural incompetence of the Inland Revenue! Yet the ICO protect the Revenue/VOA?
There are an enormous amount of inept acts by the Revenue/VOA that shows serious institutionalised corruption of duty, yet it receives much cover-up protection from bureaucrats within the public sector complaint procedures. We have taken issue with the ICO over the seriously dysfunctional Revenue/VOA corrupt acts against us and the ICOs publication of a biased Decision Notice showing favour to the deceitful Revenue/VOA, where paragraph 36 is pure ICO fraudulence!
The nation is waking up to the extent of public sector corruption and is aware that the House of Lords and Parliament are being forced into the idea of cleansing themselves. The public is rightly sick of continuing public sector corruption in all its forms!
Civil service staff and their protective gravy train lawyers are also abusing the system, they are in need of cleansing; especially the public sectors fraudulent complaint procedure, where the ICO is prominently involved. Investigation of the abuse of justice within our case will show the complaints procedure as having been glued to a treadmill of deceit. One has to be suspicious of a system where senior officials acquiesce to injustice, bias and deceit against the electorate. Our Decision Notice, a governmental publication, purposefully hid blunders and shortcomings by describing with some bias, the fraudulent Revenue/VOA as being accountable on some ten occasions; we felt ripped off and cheated by the ICO!
How peculiar the principal of justice should have become so debased whilst in the hands of the ICO lawyers during our case! The ICOs ‘Sword of truth’ had a chance to clean up the Revenues contempt/deceits against us; instead it chose to defend the Revenues severe unaccountability? However, Vince Cable Liberal MP claimed the Revenue had taken over the mantle of the most ‘unfit for purpose’ department from the seriously inept and often corrupt Home Office?
The impunity of resourceful and clandestine government crime against complainants is an abuse of individual liberty; there is now a serious widespread lack of respect by many decrepit public sector staff towards the electorate. One cannot help but repeat how bin-men scrawled insults and threats on doormats of honest residents who had complained about their rubbish collection?
With this outlandish public sector abuse, the bin-men have joined up with the Revenue/VOA, the Ombudsman and the ICO etc on a freewheeling exercise where honest complainants are now steamrollered and abused with impunity by public sector despots! Such general contempt for the public shows a social underclass emerging, where honest tax paying members of the electorate become victims of abuse from the public sector; they are mishandled by aggressive and fraudulent governmental employees.
Mandarins acquiescence to public sector corruption is a dishonourable pastime, numerous cases confirm, that once a complaint is made by the electorate, the whole network of like-minded public sector fraudsters close ranks, forever protecting the squalid status quo; enabling the entrenchment of plague-like incompetence.
The Commissioners Office knows the frightening extent of the cover-up culture that thrives within the public sector, yet the ICO covered up for this overwhelmingly inept and fraudulent Revenue/VOA within its Decision Notice?
The ICO fail to investigate corrupt regulators, and are protective of their deceitful colleague the Parliamentary Ombudsman, we see this as corruption of office! We repeat that an outside body remote from corrupting political influence is needed to investigate fraudulent officials and civil servants. That complainants have a need for ‘outside courts’ freeing them up from fraudulent civil service procedures?
We suggested to the Prime Minister and the Minister for Justice, with justifiable cynicism, that it would help cleanse the nation if the electorate held a yearly “Incompetent Public Sector Day”; where masses of government critics and public sector victims could march, demanding justice from the pernicious and virtually all pervasive governmental ‘old pals act’ regimes!
