    Sixties star in trouble after publishing tax inspector details

    Wayne Fontana facing police action

    Author Date published April 29, 2007 Categories

    Sixties crooner Wayne Fontana is
    facing possible police action after he published the home addresses of a VAT
    inspector and an insolvency practitioner on his blog.

    Fontana, whose real name is Glyn Ellis has spent the last two years
    repeatedely attacking HM Revenue &
    Customs     after becoming involved in a dispute with the tax-man.

    Fontana, whose hits included Game Of Love and Pamela Pamela, lists grievances
    against various authorities that have chased him for money, calling insolvency
    practitioners ‘government-appointed thieves’.

    The Daily Telegraph reported a
    spokesman for Revenue & Customs as saying: ‘We take the safety of our staff
    very seriously, including any threats against them.’
