27th June 2007




Dear Prime Minister


We seriously hope you are going to restore integrity and high standards within public administration, we wish you well! I am an 80 year old war pensioner, writing yet again re Ombudsman deceits. At the age of 16, I left school because I had a fierce hatred of the tyrant Adolph Hitler and his despotic crew.
I joined to do my bit in 1943. In the 1950`s I was fighting in Korea with the Gloucester Regiment, it was over-run by Chinese troops. A few of us managed to fight our way out! I was flown to a Military Hospital in Kure, Japan. Later I returned home.

My experiences have given me a sort of blood tie with soldiers, especially front - line soldiers. I once had an item printed in the Sunday Mail (10/03/91) "Wounds that are with you forever"! I was pleading that maimed soldiers should be given deserved war pension etc. Under no circumstances should fighting men be so corruptly treated as I have been by the contemptuous Parliamentary Ombudsman system.


I am not asking for special conditions; I just want to disclose the lack of democracy, justice and transparency, that many of us fought and died for!





Some 4 years ago I was mugged, set upon by a Governmental Agency,s corrupt public sector complaints procedure. During this time I was recovering from 3 serious operations and the dreaded MRSA. Then, having struggled to overcome MRSA and regain my health in order to fight the corrupt VOA, I discovered I had cancer
This meant dealing with (1) 7 weeks of radiotherapy and (2) a corrupt governmental complaint procedure that had the fraudulent backing of the Parliamentary Ombudsman. It proved all too much; I was forced to give up my appeal, partly "blown away" by the crooked VOA invention of the phantom "Mrs Gupta". I decided to disclose the corrupt way my case had been handled.

Because of our constant complaints the VOA proposed that a "proper investigation" would take place? It fraudulently proclaimed that the miscreant who had often treated us so corruptly, had acted with the "Best of Intentions" A typical public sector fraudulent cover-up? They later asked that we Draw a Line under their corrupt acts?
The Ombudsman once claimed she "saw no evidence of fraud or corruption"? Purposely failing to see the corrupt invention of "Mrs Gupta" etc.
Another time, being annoyed at our continued disclosures, the Ombudsman tried to ensnare us into taking part in a spurious "Customer SATISFACTION Survey" Being victims of such of such Ombudsman fraudulence. we objected to the word SATISFACTION and would not take part! Under the circumstances it was a fraudulent request!


Another fraudulent aspect of this 'survey' was that we were instructed to 'fill in a form' if we wanted to take part OR 'sign out' if we wanted to opt out? We asked if we have to ' sign out' of this spurious survey - who the had signed us in? It was getting all a bit scary like Orwell's Big Brother routine! We refused to sign and take part in this convoluted Ombudsman scam!
Despite our refusal to take part, the Ombudsman retaliated by setting upon us intrusive intimidating 'bullies'; whose evening telephone calls tried to force us, with much belligerence , to take part in her "survey"!

Despite our "written" objections" to this severely undemocratic Ombudsman's deceit, our protest did not stop her violating our human rights? My wife became frightened by these retaliatory evening phone calls! George Orwell indeed , a man who could spot a corrupt administrator from a mile off!
This wretched dereliction of duty by the Parliamentary Ombudsman discloses her lack of integrity. As when recently she publicly proclaimed her role as; " IF NOT QUITE A CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE" THEN AT LEAST A SERIOUS "ALLY OF THE PEOPLE"......even more 'porkies' is there no end?

I DO NOT DESERVE TO BE SO CORRUPTLY HANDLED!

Because of our ghastly experiences, we have previously written to you claiming that there are NO up-front democratic public sector complaint procedures within Whitehall. We have learned as the man said; "That there are no mechanisms by which the Parliamentary Ombudsman can be scrutinised and be called to account".
We have found her position to be firmly entrenched within the public sectors cover-up culture, where she is more than likely to protect malevolent civil servants. She is however, not afraid of using 'jackboot' tactics against citizens who complain about public sector corruption!

Prime Minister, we hope you can understand at our being irate and forthright in our manner when disclosing the corrupt acts against us, if you are upset about our angst showing through, we apologise. Fighting governmental corruption is a tough uncompromising business especially when you're "trodden on" by various government agency`s "Old Pals Acts". We still have problems with the FOI boys.

Having helped fight against the despotic Adolph Hitler, I now find myself in my worn out 80's fighting another tyrant the Parliamentary Ombudsman and her crew of despots.
It would appear that nothing changes, except that Adolph never had us strung-up by the short and curlies as we are today by these deceitful cover-up public sector complaint procedures!

Yours sincerely

Your abuse of our human rights!


Dear Ann Abraham


After our disclosure of your deceits in our VOA corruption case, we feel you`ve trashed our case and put it into the "Disruptive Unreasonable Complaints bin" You have created an Artful dodger "get out" here! Because, when your fraudulence was challenged, you deceitfully closed our case down, in order to hide our revelations regarding public sector corruption with its cover-up culture!

You`ve abused our human rights by (1) refusing to admit the VOA was corrupt (2) that you deliberately added 'weight' to the fraudulent claims re 'internal jargon'. You purposely overlooked the corrupt invention of "Mrs Gupta" (3) That you dismissed the corrupt VOA investigation that found for the VOA miscreant, claiming her fraudulent acts were done withe "Best of Intentions"? That you fraudulently claimed you could not see any evidence of "fraud or corruption".

(4) That you tried to ensnare us into a spurious survey and when we objected to this fraudulence of having to sign a form to 'to get out of your nonsense survey' you then;
(5) set upon us your belligerent retaliatory mob that forcibly tried to make us take part in this 'survey'? All this after we had told you WE WANTED NO PART OF IT?

These retaliatory evening phone-calls frightened my wife, who then worried about a 'knock on the door'? This belligerence was typical of your jack booting approach, trying to frighten us. You took offence because we were proceeding with our claims re public sector corruption.

You are an Autocrat who astonishingly has received Whitehall immunity within the Mother of Parliament. Thus allowing you to become a tyrannical manipulator who is not afraid to put the "boot in".

We view you as a "malevolent manipulative administrator" undemocratically protected by costly lawyers, whereas I, a war pensioner corruptly handled by your office cannot afford one. This demonstrates how crony-ism has superceded the rule of law!

Soldiers are putting their lives on the line to maintain a fraudulent parliamentary system. They don`t like the fact that democracy is going to pot!
What I find so painful as a war pensioner, is that I am so corruptly handled by an unlawful Omnipotent Autocrat.

Your office, so ridiculously created within a supposedly democratic parliament, is a blight on so many of us that fought and died for this democracy! In my youth (16) I helped fight the tyrant Adolph Hitler and his crew of despots, now in my worn out 80`s, suffering from the effects of cancer, I have to fight a tyrannical despotic Ombudsman. Its George Orwell all over again! Your Jackboot treatment is most revealing. Megalomania?
We ask, who allowed this deceitful monstrous office to grow within Whitehall? certainly not war -vets who put their lives on the line for Democratic justice.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Ingram

Honorable soldiers v dishonourable Parliamentarians

Having written to you on previous occasions re the corrupt handling I received from the VOA and the Parliamentary Ombudsman, I thought as a war pensioner I would have been given some helpful information. But No! Not one reply?
Many parliamentarians have turned a blind eye to Ombudsman deceits , are you interested/aware of these fraudulent acts against a war pensioner. Do you care?

Having complained about the cover-up culture and Ann Abraham`s input, she asked us to take part in a dubious Ombudsman Customer Satisfaction Survey? Considering we had been treated corruptly, the PO was disingenuous in using the word SATISFACTION! This was a fraudulent request by the PO.
Astoundingly we were asked to fill in a form? And, if we did not want to take part in this spurious survey it would be necessary for us to "sign out"? George Orwell? Big Brother?

Because we refused to comply, claiming we would not touch her dodgy survey with a barge -pole , she foisted upon us another PO abomination! We were harassed by 'evening phone-calls', asking us to take part in the PO's deceitful "satisfaction survey".

This Ombudsman RETALIATION frightened my wife! We protested - she indicated they "would not do it again" "that she had told them off" "that it was not her fault" With crocodile tears she apologised IF we had been inconvenienced or distressed? YOU COULD NOT MAKE IT UP!

Parliament has created a monstrous Ombudsman office run by a megalomaniac. This office should protect citizens against public sector deceits. Remember our crime _ I, a war pensioner dared to complain about public sector corruption?

Being a socialist Minister, you must be shocked by our disclosures that a severe autocrat has been created within our supposedly democratic Parliament.
Does Whitehall not have a safety-valve provision that allows the ousting of megalomaniacs abusing a supposedly democratic parliamentary office? The thrusting of so much power upon mere weak mortals is a recipe for disaster! Remember Adolph Hitler, Joe Stalin, Pol Pot etc.
History tells us that power corrupts; especially where its misuse does not have to be accounted for?

Giving such free-wheeling power to any likely miscreant is a gigantic error!

I am sick of watching parliamentarians standing up with suitable solemnity when dead soldiers are mentioned in parliament; more so at the Cenotaph. They should hang their heads in shame!

The stupidity of sending ill-equipped soldiers into an un-winnable war shows Whitehall's gross contempt for our young men. Their phony 'gravitas' is no more than spin-laden cover-up for an undemocratic deceitful war!
Buts all`s well as another inspired cold comfort shrine is erected to placate the deaths of honourable young men and their grieving families! Yours sincerely AW & I Tanner 4 enc inc copyletter G Brown PM (27 June 07) cc everywhere








The continuing Whitehall's public sector 'old pals' protection racket:

Re: Valuation Office Agency

Re ICO's Decision Notice July 07. We are bewildered as to the governments extremely undemocratic well-honed costly defence of a public sector VOA miscreant who gave us so much angst! Her long-term belligerent errors indicated she was not a capable public servant -our interest was to keep her from abusing other members of the British public. The VOA's lack of accountability, allowed her to become an aggressive 'loose cannon' within the neglected and dysfunctional Southgate Office that had admitted 'serious deficiencies'!
The ICO's protective stance towards a fellow government agency, the discredited VOA, destroys the ICO's credibility in this supposed transparent investigation. We hoped for honest representation - from our experiences dealing with public sector 'investigations' - we should have known better!

We aim to disclose that the VOA were neither "open nor accountable". Our criticisms were honest and valid; our aim was to help publicise the blunders one sees within the public sector caused by incompetent staff. Their protection by costly lawyers against criticism/complaints does little to promote honest endeavour within the public sector.

Our criticisms were not malicious as the ICO want to indicate, but showed our concern as to the squalid level of public service one has to endure, along with a powerful cover-up culture that emerges when it is challenged.
The ICO falsely claimed the VOA as having 'Openness & Accountability'
The ICO's defence of the VOA is biased!

This was not an up-front government transparent investigation! It has gone out of its way with a spurious attempt to indicate that the corrupt VOA was, at the time, an HONEST ACCOUNTABLE BODY. This goes against all the evidence.

Such manipulation of the facts by the ICO destroys the validity of this Decision Notice that, while it falsely gives the VOA credibility, attempts to besmirch our integrity with innuendo!
We became wary of the ICO who once while investigating the VOA on our behalf, produced an obvious untrustworthy "old pals" gem. It claimed that the fraudulent VOA had made an "Honest Oversight" ? "Old pals act" indeed.

In making deceitful references to the "openness and accountability"
of the VOA, the ICO are again in denial of the facts! The indolent VOA Executive was ignorant of the way we were being corruptly handled by its belligerent 'loose cannon'! Our mutual exchanges at the time, (copies given to the press and parliamentarians) show the VOA as deceitful, dysfunctional and fraudulent in trying to cover up its errors once they had been caught out.

For instance, having asked for months for a report on our (VOA) appeal, we were informed (June 2003) a Mrs Gupta would be doing a report and would be in touch. We waited and waited; we wrote and wrote over many months for copies of this promised report. ALL OUR LETTERS WENT UNANSWERED? We saw no evidence of 'openness an accountability' at this time?

It took us 18 months to discover that Mrs Gupta played no part in our appeal? It meant our appeal had not been initiated - it had been throttled - almost at birth. Despite our continued request for a report of its whereabouts - the VOA remained silent. This lack of government accountability towards a complainant is fraudulent! The VOA was in denial of serious maladministration!
In the 18 months we wrote and awaited copies of the GUPTA REPORT, no one at the VOA informed us it was all a big lie.
Only after we had assiduously pointed out and complained to the VOA Executive, did they agree with us that the Southgate Office had "Serious Deficiencies"
The VOA Executive had been remote, with a serious lack of control of staff.

OUR APPEAL HAD BEEN KILLED OFF BY LONG DRAWN OUT NON - ATTENTION! Yet the ICO claimed the VOA was "open & accountable"?

The VOA feebly claimed that the corrupt invention of the Gupta Report was due to inner misinterpretation of "Agency Internal Jargon"? You could not make it up! 'Open & Accountable indeed. Even the Parliamentary Ombudsman attempted to give this ridiculous VOA cover-up excuse some weight in order to get her public sector colleagues 'off the hook'.

The VOA then held a deceitful 'investigation' that purposefully exonerated the 'loose cannons' belligerence against us; its fraudulent decision was that she had acted with the 'Best of Intentions'? A cover up culture lacking in openness!

Unethically the VOA once asked us to to Draw-a-Line under its corrupt acts against us, they being intent in hiding their deceits?

Our case needs to be studied by academics interested in cleaning up these public sector complaint cesspit's of denial!
The British publics loss of faith in parliament grows day by day. Citizens are becoming aware of the constant low integrity levels within government departments, many of whom are almost capsizing because of the continued lawyers style protection of staff.

The ICO in a veiled a attack on our honesty, made detrimental quotes from a 'previous case' (para 36) ......"that a complaint made against an employee may lead to assumptions being made about the employees competence? However the complaint may be unsubstantiated or malicious"? (our Question marks)
This is a dishonest denunciation and interpretation of our struggle against the public sectors cover-up culture.
We ask as to the validity of these quoted 'previous case decisions'? Because these 'old pals act' decisions would not hold water in a proper court of law! We ask just how valid are these public sector 'previous decisions' that have been quoted to smear our case? Because of our experience within the public sectors cover-up routine, we feel strongly that these 'quoted previous decisions' could well be tainted and biased against most complainants!

WE DO NOT THINK THIS UNDERHANDED PRACTISE OF QUOTING FROM PREVIOUS DODGY PUBLIC SECTOR DECISIONS SHOULD BE ADMISSIBLE.
It smacks of biased lawyers pulling 'porkies' out of a hat in order to protect, at any cost, their culpable government colleagues? Further to the ICO's previous 'unsubstantiated or malicious' quote' we would like to investigate its authenticity, its honesty? Could we have the evidence?

We feel the burden of facing powerful iron grip force-fed public sector chicanery, where lawyers are producing even more unwarranted 'pork pies' in defence of miscreants. Is the Mother of Parliament smelling the stench coming from this public sector protection racket?

WE ARE CONCERNED BY THIS UNJUST ICO's ROBUST DEFENCE OF THE VOA AND ITS EMPLOYEES FRAUDULENCE, despite her numerous errors we ask;
(1) is the ICO claiming the deceitful employee was competent?

(2) Why is the ICO deviously implying that our claims over many years against the VOA, may be 'unsubstantiated and malicious'? This is another attempted 'put-down' of our case by the ICO, who despite its claims to represent the FOI are behaving more like the oppressive Spanish Inquisition against our case?

(3) We have to suffer this intended smearing simply because we continue to reveal the public sectors corrupt acts. The ICO are in denial of all the relevant correspondence. THE VOA WERE FRAUDULENT!

(4) A Tribunal, after our first 16 months of struggle against this dysfunctional careless VOA, quashed the early VOA deceitful acts against us. There was no evidence of VOA 'openness & accountability' during this long 16 month session of severe VOA negligence and fraud? There was of course plenty of devious VOA manoeuvres against our case.
However, there was no evidence of the VOA's Accountability as the ICO deceitfully suggests?

(5) The ICO has belittled our cause by its gross abuse of its power in showing unworthy protection of its public sector colleagues, a sort of despotic public sector family nepotism that goes on and on ad infinitum.

To my wife and myself, its all a bit like being crushed by government self-serving bodies using illegal undemocratic bulldozing tactics in order to protect the retaliatory status quo!

To make matters worse, and no doubt trying to kill off our resolve, we have been invited by the ICO to appeal to another public sector inspired 'investigative body'. We feel we are approaching a Machiavellian water-torture epic.

The ICO must be confident that the public sectors crooked 'cover-up' culture, with its strangulation techniques against complainants is secure from parliamentary gaze, thus escaping an honest Lord Nolan type scrutiny!

Dear Commissioner

Re ICO letter 13/08/07, it is back-pedalling in regard to its deceitful 'old pals' pro VOA Decision Notice that was foisted upon us. We have suffered over 4 years of public sector complaints procedure deceit, its cover-up culture is never ending.
There may have been in the distant past a few politicians and government officials who 'did not' set out to deceive the public - but not anymore!
Parliament needs to close down this corrupt system concerning public sector 'investigations' that are too often deceitful and biased, protecting the status quo from from which many malfunctioning government departments are virtually collapsing from purposely hidden incompetence, fraud and corruption. Unfit for purpose indeed!

The ICO claims in our case, against all the evidence, that the VOA were 'open and accountable'? This corrupt 'entrenched system of the mind' allows ombudsman types etc. to systematically 'put down' citizens claims throughout the country. For over 4 years the public sectors fraudulent 'cover up brigade' have tried to dismantle our continued struggle against the corrupt VOA and one of its miscreant staff. And to think our boys are fighting and dying to protect this public sector cesspit!

We do not accept the (ICO) excuses in relation to its protecting the VOA's fraudulence, and its veiled attack on our integrity as insinuated in the Decision Notice! ICO insinuates our claims/struggle as being 'unsubstantiated or malicious' such deceit fits in nicely with the ICO's absurd protection of the VOA's corrupts antics against us.

As a war pensioner, a front-line soldier, I have suffered appalling neglect of my human rights resulting from numerous public sector investigative deceits. Those of us who put our lives on the line, did not build a haven for corrupt officials, who misusing their power, can attack our integrity in old age. We sense that the corrupt 'put down' of citizen complainants is regarded as fair game - a bit of a public sector wheeze - our letters go unanswered or astray - often to the wrong department?

Despite your evasive tactics this ICO Decision Notice is biased against our case. The ICO's attempt to claim the corrupt VOA as being "Open & Accountable" simply destroys the ICO's impartiality!
You and your lawyer friends should resign! The general milking of the gravy train at the expense of citizens human rights we feel is a matter for the EU Courts!

After some four and a half years of pursuing our case against the VOA, we have learned that deliberate deception/sleaze have obscured the fraudulent mechanics of the public sectors cover up culture. Such deception is rife, even the Parliamentary Ombudsman amongst others, abused us with deceits such as retaliatory 'corrupt evening phone-calls ' that frightened my wife!
