Bureaucrats in the United Kingdom’s Home Office have reportedly threatened to stage a strike over the government’s plan to send illegal boat migrants to Rwanda, with some comparing the crackdown to Nazi Germany.
Comments uncovered on an internal online messageboard at the Home Office — which is tasked to deal with migration in Britain — have revealed government employees are threatening a rebellion against Home Secretary Priti Patel’s intention to send migrants who arrive illegally across the English Channel to Rwanda for processing in an attempt to deter the record setting pace of boat migrants landing on British shores.
“I find the government proposal totally unethical and it impacts directly upon my workstream. As a civil servant can I refuse this type of work in contravention of my own ethics?” another questioned. One deep state employee expressed no longer feeling “safe” to disclose their position at the Home Office, claiming to “just make up a nondescript role in another government department when asked what I do for a job.”
“I’ve worked for the Home Office for 20 years. There’s been some ups and downs in that time. But this announcement has made me feel deep shame and is the first time I am considering my position here and whether I need to get out of this department,” another added. Boris Johnson is bracing for a battle with an ‘army of politically motivated lawyers’ over the government’s new migrant relocation plans.
