Dear Sir, I am in receipt of a pension from your organisation and am writing to ask that you withhold all tax payments from the Government. It has been brought to my attention that British taxpayers are breaking the law. I have received legal advice that (i) the actions of the U.K. Government in waging war in Afghanistan and Iraq causing the deaths of innocent civilians are illegal and constitute the crimes of genocide and a crime against peace and (ii) the actions of British taxpayers in paying taxes to HM Government which uses them to finance the war and the killing of Iraqi nationals, constitute crimes of 'conduct ancillary to genocide' and ‘complicity in a crime against peace’. The law states that: 'It is an offence against the law of England and Wales for a person to commit genocide, a crime against humanity or a war crime, or to engage in conduct ancillary to such an act. This applies to acts committed in England and Wales or outside the United Kingdom by a U.K. national, resident or person subject to U.K. service jurisdiction.'1 'Genocide' means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such (a) killing members of the group; (b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.. Whosoever shall aid, abet, counsel or procure the commission of any indictable offence, whether the same be an offence at common law or by virtue of any Act passed or to be passed, shall be liable to be tried, indicted, and punished as a principal offender.2

I am advised that every taxpayer in Britain has a legal duty to withhold tax payments from the Government until the wars have ended and the crimes have ceased. As my pension provider, responsible for the deduction and payment of tax from my pension to the U.K. Government, I request that you cease all payments of tax to the Government and retain them until such time as the crimes have ceased and lawful payments of tax can resume. I urge you to pursue this matter with the Collector of Taxes and your legal advisors to ensure that the organisation, its directors, employees and clients are in compliance with the law. If you have questions concerning this interpretation of the laws of war please contact Mr Coverdale of the Campaign to Make Wars History on 020 8245 3698. Yours faithfully,
