The Times Tuesday February 10th 2004
Following the promulgation of my Employment Tribunal judgement Jonathan Gournall, a journalist with the London Times, contacted me and said the Times wanted to do an article on my case because they considered the judgement to be somewhat surprising, given that it had been accepted at the Tribunal hearing that I had made a protected disclosure under the terms of the Public Interest Disclosure Act and that I had also proved my case that I had been unfairly dismissed. The article is in my view a powerful piece of journalism and I am extremely grateful to Jonathan and the Times for doing the necessary research into the circumstances of my case and publishing the truth. When you get involved in a "whistle-blowing" case like mine and you know your are being cheated and that people and institutions are making misleading statements about you to try and carry out what I can only describe as feeling like "legalised mugging", you are entirely dependent on those who are prepared not to look the other way, but are in fact prepared to speak up for you so that it can be pointed out to the public at large that what is happening is simply neither right nor fair. As as individual trying to get justice against the biggest single institution Western Europe you just hope that someone will stand up and say what is happening to you is simply wrong. Fortunately for me The Times, the most famous newspaper in the World has done just that and I shall always be in their debt for telling the truth about my case.

As a follow up to the Times feature, I am with assistance, currently writing a book called "Don't Blow The Whistle", which will be published later in the year. This book will reveal further examples of wrong doing within the NHS in much more detail than it is possible to go into in a newspaper article or website. So please continue to watch this website for details of the date of the book launch and learn why in this day and age there is no appetite for telling the truth in our public institutions and that as the Times headline says, "Blow The Whistle And Your History".
