Yet more evidence of racism in Home Office

The Home Office has once again been caught out and forced to apologise to immigrants who have falsely had to prove by way of DNA records that they are entitled to remain in the UK. Some of those were either Gurkhas or families of Gurkhas.

We must now ask whether the Home Office is 'fit for purpose' and there has to be a root and branch purge of the staff employed there.

Re: Yet more evidence of racism in Home Office

Personally I cannot see what the problem is here, surely proof works both ways so why would absolute proof of kinship not be sought voluntarily by applicants if they have a legitimate case?

Nor do I .
If I really wanted to come to a country they could have my DNA.

Re: Yet more evidence of racism in Home Office

This really is not about the request for DNA samples it is all about the Home Office being pretty much 'unfit for purpose.', All very well Sajid Javid the Home Office minister apologising but this is pretty hollow.

It is a catastrophic department - misleading the public, ransacking the lives of those it deals with and proving utterly ineffective even on its own terms. It is hard to see where the malice ends and the incompetence begins, but you get a sense that perhaps both qualities interact with each other.
It has lurched from one expensive failure to the next with little accountability.

Not a Conservative supporter by any means but do you think a Labour run civil service were any better when in power?

Re: Yet more evidence of racism in Home Office

It seems to me many in the home office don't understand our laws and rules. They can ask for dna evidence that's fine, what they can't do is compell people that's completely against the law. So yes many people voluntarily give proof already.

They need to either change the law to compell it or follow the existing law. Quite simple really.
