Britain’s Home Office, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is urging its officials to celebrate diversity and the government’s work packing illegal immigrants into hotels across the country at the taxpayers’ expense, amid protests and counter-protests over mass migration.
Leaked communications from Daniel Hobbs, Director General of the Home Office Migration and Borders Group, show him telling staff: “The Home Office is one of the most diverse [departments] in the Civil Service—something which we celebrate.”
Hobb’s message is a response to widespread protests following the deadly mass stabbing of multiple young girls in Southport, England, by a migration-background teenager.
“The inclusion, understanding, and celebration of our many faiths and beliefs and diverse cultures and experiences is an important part of how we effectively deliver our services and develop policies to help protect our communities,” the official continues.
Hobbs instructs officials to “show allyship by learning more about the diversity of our department” and to “be proud of [staff] efforts… including those in Homeland Security, Public Safety, those working to provide safe accommodation to asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute,” referring an unpopular multi-billion-pound program giving poorly vetted migrants who cross the English Channel illegally free housing in hotels.
The Home Office is arguably the most incompetent department in the British government, presiding over record-breaking illegal immigration and a collapse in deportations, frequently losing sometimes dangerous migrants scheduled for removal.
Its leaders do not seem particularly interested in border control, with the previous head of its Border Force using his valedictory speech to bizzarely declare, “We’re all human beings, we’re all mammals, we’re all rocks, plants, rivers. Bloody borders are just such a pain in the bloody ass.”
