Louise Perrett worked as a case owner at the UK Border Agency office .... Due to her experiences of her time in the agency she has risked breaching the Official Secrets Act to go public with evidence of anti-immigration views and abuse of power by UK Border Agency staff.

“I witnessed general hostility, rudeness and indifference towards clients. It was completely horrific. I highlighted my concerns to senior managers but I was just laughed at. I decided to speak out because nobody else was saying anything and major changes are needed at senior management level.”

Her revelations reveal a culture of bigotry and prejudice in the (UK Border Agency), where members of staff took pride in refusing applications.

•One manager said of the asylum-seeker clients: “If it was up to me I’d take them all outside and shoot them.”
•Any officer who approved an asylum application had a stuffed toy “grant monkey” placed on their desk by other members of staff as a badge of shame.
•One official tested the claims of boys from African countries who said they had been forcibly conscripted as child soldiers by making them lie down on the floor and demonstrate how they shot at people in the bush.

Know what, I'm so very glad I'm paying the wages of these "not so civil" "servants".

These "people" not only act in our name, but we pay their salaries
