🧵UK immigration department culture

I’ve litigated against the dept for most of last 33 years, reading civil service files & witness statmts, sometimes talking confidentially to them. For almost 8 yrs, I sat on Gov Committee that writes rules for immigrt’n appeals & so consults directly with them 1/

Malcolm Wilson (they/them) @malcolmwilson01.bsky.social · Feb 14

There’s *awful* stuff in the Home Office; I’d like to identify who’s responsible.

Civil servants do what the elected government tell them to; they’re non-political. If we want to politicise the civil service (to do good things) we also have to accept the possibility of radicalisation the other way.
