Home Office whistleblower: My colleagues called for violence against Farage and can’t wait for Starmer rule

I have worked in the Home Office for years, and focus on migration.

I’ve overheard conversations from colleagues, many of whom have their pronouns in their email signatures, discussing how much they are looking forward to Labour’s likely landslide victory.

When it comes to Nigel Farage, they are spiteful. I even heard a middle manager call for violence against him, and many of my colleagues were laughing at him when he was assaulted with a milkshake.

Others even suggested he should be arrested and I have heard people claim the Reform Party is an “extremist far-right group”.

I have to be careful about expressing my views in the office for fear of being ostracised both professionally and personally.

To give one example of the views of my colleagues, I know of one senior official who refuses to shop at a major supermarket due to their supposed links with Israel.

Many more of my colleagues regularly go on pro-Palestine marches and are proud to boast about in the office.

Those who work in immigration in the Home Office know very well that Home Secretary James Cleverly and the prime minister Rishi Sunak have no intention to stop the boats.

We know that the Rwanda scheme is a gimmick that was never going to work, and never will work.

Of the more than 100,000 illegal immigrants who entered Britain in the last few years, the scheme only ever had the capacity for a few thousand, and even they will never be sent abroad.

Colleagues are looking forward to when their minister will no longer spout vaguely anti-immigration views, even if the reality of migration is very different.

They hate when politicians criticise immigration, in a sense it makes them ashamed to work for the Home Office.

Therefore a Labour victory will mean a victory for Home Office civil servants, who will no longer be embarrassed by the rhetoric supporting open borders from their ministers.

That’s not the only reason my civil servant colleagues are excited for the upcoming change in government.

They expect that the new regime will be much friendlier to the civil service.

No longer will they be mildly reprimanded for signing up the Home Office to Left-wing charity activist groups like Stonewall.

No longer will they worry about criticism for hosting events, awards and meetings discussing diversity, Windrush, transgenderism or any other pet Left-wing obsession.

During my time in the Home Office I have seen woke ideology flourish.

Civil servants would much rather attend a meeting discussing their race or gender identity than focus on the job at hand.

Even in official meetings nominally about border control Left-wing ideas seem to seep into the language of senior people.

They talk about diversity, equality and inclusion constantly, while cutting immigration numbers never seems to be a priority.

Promotions are based more on people’s identity and race than merit.

Non-white civil servants hold an inherent advantage as “diverse” candidates who managers are keen to promote to enable better “representation” of these people in senior positions.

Everyone knows this but no one can be honest for fear of being called racist.

One suspects that under Keir Starmer the Home Office will continue to be dysfunctional, and civil servants will only be more emboldened to spout their politics at work.

For the very few conservatives who work there, we will either have to be silent about our beliefs or face severe consequences.

The disconnect between the British public’s views on migration and the views of my Home Office colleagues could not be greater.

A Home Office spokesperson said: “As the public would rightly expect, our day-to-day operations have continued in line with pre-election guidance and it would be incorrect to suggest otherwise.”

“The Home Office's 50,000 staff abide by the civil service code and continue to work on existing Government policy and operations in line with published pre-election guidance.”
