| Two-faced civil servants |
CIVIL servants have revealed how they SKIVE OFF work and MOCK immigrants — in a flood of astonishing messages on chat website Facebook.
The candid online exchanges between staff from the Home Office and the Department for Work & Pensions will hugely embarrass the goverment.
They BRAG about a culture of getting drunk and having sex at work; ADMIT phoning and emailing friends all day; and LAUGH about reading people’s private files.
Public anger is mounting towards civil servants who are feather-bedded from the unemployment sweeping the country and who end their working days with gold-plated pensions.
But that will scarcely worry the Facebook group called “Home Office Workers” who boast of clocking up fewer hours than private sector staff.
One ex-employee says: “Awesome days of going on bifter breaks every 10 mins. Sitting on the internet all day. Phoning mobiles. Emailing mates.”
A group called the Home Office Posse, which has 54 members, say their forum is: “For the hours spent laughing at fake photos of immigrants”.
One girl in the “Lunar House” group — HQ of the UK Border Agency in Croydon, south London — writes of “the dirty girls that do things in toilets.”
Another adds: “Some- one’s written on one of the toilet doors that they like to be spanked on their bottom, lol” (laugh out loud).The chat also reveals how the over-stretched Job Centre Plus network is close to breaking point.
Workers say it is “impossible” to help because they are only allowed five minutes with each jobseeker.
A Home Office spokesman said: “We expect the highest standards of conduct from our staff. The comments bear no relation to daily life here.”
