HOME OFFICE PROBES RACIST STAFF WHATSAPP GROUP

RACIST slurs made by staff at a firm paid by the Home Office are being investigated.

The vile WhatsApp messages were posted by Mitie workers who escort migrants and run detention centres. Home Secretary Priti Patel is under pressure to act. Yet even she was a target for abuse.

A source said: “The racism is disgusting.

  • ‘Jokes’ about Channel ordeal
  • Laughter as detainees hurt
  • Jibes at LIneker, patel and Abbott

SICKENING racism is today exposed at the firm paid millions in government contracts to humanely remove migrants from Britain.

A whistleblower has revealed vile messages were traded on a WhatsApp group set up for 80 employees of Mitie. They included:

“Jokes” about Syrian refugees swimming to the UK and a swipe at “slanty-eyed” Chinese people.

Hilarity at claims of physical injuries to detainees.

A lewd reference to black MP Diane Abbott.

A xenophobic jibe at Home Secretary Priti Patel.

Mocking of TV’s Gary Lineker for inviting refugees into his home.

Last night the Home Office ordered a probe and Mitie – on a 10-year, £525million government contract – confirmed some staff had been suspended.

DISGUSTING

The whistleblower told us: “There is no care. It’s utterly toxic. Casual racism amongst workers towards those they are supposed to look after is disgusting. Detainee custody officers (DCOs) are acting on behalf of the Home Office – but the reality of how many behave is a joke.”
