Staff at Britain’s Home Office, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, have been instructed to make every other social event alcohol-free amid concerns over inclusivity. Sources say senior bureaucrats want to make sure “every other social isn’t the pub” at a time when Muslims—who are forbidden to drink alcohol—are becoming an increasingly large share of the population, particularly in London and other urban centers.
“There is definitely a bit of a culture around inclusivity, and this approach has become systemic within the department,” a source revealed. Officials are encouraging work socials that “revolve around activities” such as bowling and picnicking an alternative to the traditional round of drinks at the pub.
Other departments, including the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS), have similarly been encouraging staff to limit drinking during social events. A DCMS insider mentioned that during all-staff meetings, senior leadership consistently advises against heavy drinking at large social gatherings.
WOKE CULTURE.
The Home Office is also encouraging staff to celebrate “diversity” amid ongoing anti-mass migration protests and counter-protests in Britain, many of which are devolving into violence.
“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,” said Daniel Hobbs, Director General of the Home Office Migration and Borders Group, in one recent communication, urging staff to “show allyship by learning more about the diversity of our department.”
He added that staff should be “proud” of their work cramming tens of thousands of illegal aliens into hotels across the country—an unpopular policy that has helped sustain the current protests, initially sparked by the mass stabbing of several young girls by a migration-background teenager.
Previously, staff at the Foreign Office—equivalent to the U.S. State Department—have celebrated “World Hijab Day” by encouraging staff to try on Islamic veils, suggesting, “Many find liberation, respect and security through wearing it.”
