Petition to Ban Members of Racist Organisations from being employed in the Department

Members of PCS Union in the Home Office and UKBA are campaigning for a ban on members of racist organisations from being employed in the Department.

Staff in the Home Office are employed amongst other things as Border Officers, Asylum caseworkers, and enforcement officers. It is incompatible for members of racist organisations to be employed in these sensitive roles.

Whilst there is a ban in the Prison and Police Services there are currently no restrictions on members of the BNP, Combat 18 or the National Front from being employed in the Home Office or UKBA.

If you support the campaign to instigate a ban then please sign the petition which can be found here. It is unacceptable for asylum and immigration policy to be implemented by members of racist organisations.
