Dr. Damien P. Williams, dread portent down from a mountain cave

This is a tax guy. His advice could be the difference between someone having their assets seized & maybe going to jail, or not.

A HMRC official was sacked because he was caught on camera saying he gives wrong information to black and brown people when they call for advice in a bid to sabotage them. He was a member of the far right group Patriotic Alternative. How many more?
