You'll recall the case of the Polish women denied the right to remain in the UK because she filled out the wrong (an online version rather than a paper form), well now the Home Office has relented.

Interestingly, the Home Office (no doubt instructed to be more business like) now seems to respond well to cases that are high-lighted by the media... just like commercial firms responding to consumer page complaints!

If only they could just be humane!

#Koalitionsvertrag RN1842:
"Wir sichern durch eine Fachkräfteoffensive die Qualität und Verlässlichkeit im öffentlichen Dienst. Dazu gehören für uns: mehr Frauen in Führungspositionen, flexiblere Arbeitszeitmodelle, bessere Möglichkeiten für Führen in Teilzeit und eine bessere Abbildung der Vielfalt unserer Gesellschaft in der öffentlichen Verwaltung."

Sehr viel Fokus auf "Führung", was darauf hindeutet, was die Koalitionäre unter "#Fachkräften" verstehen.

Explizit nicht genannt: #Verdienst, #Homeoffice

(Auch nett: "flexiblere Arbeitszeitmodelle", nachdem 1000 Zeilen früher von steuerfreiem Geld für #Überstunden die Rede war.)

An article at @statewatch describes how the #UK #MinistryOfJustice, the #HomeOffice and and the Greater #Manchester Police as well as the Metropolitan Police of #London are feeding personal data into a “homicide prediction” system.

Sensitive personal health data on issues like mental health, addiction, self-harm, suicide, vulnerability, and disability are processed, too.

In the #UK, between 100,000 and 500,00 people are currently affected. As usual, such "initiatives" are targeting people with no lobby, first.

Whatever pool of sensitive data has been created in your country, you can be sure that your government will grab it, and ultimately also weaponize it against you, sooner or later.

Wie viele noch im #HomeOffice arbeiten.

„Wir sehen in den Daten keinerlei Hinweise darauf, dass das Homeoffice auf dem Rückzug ist“

ifo.de/fakten/2025-03-24/homeo

www.ifo.deHomeoffice-Quote stabilisiert sich bei knapp 25%Im Februar haben 24,5% der Beschäftigten in Deutschland zumindest teilweise von zu Hause gearbeitet. Das geht aus der Konjunkturumfrage des ifo Instituts hervor. „Wir sehen in den Daten keinerlei Hinweise darauf, dass das Homeoffice auf dem Rückzug ist“, sagt ifo-Forscher Jean-Victor Alipour. Im August 2024 lag der Anteil noch bei 23,4%. „Homeoffice hat sich fest etabliert, einzelne Initiativen von Unternehmen, ihre Beschäftigten ins Büro zurückzuholen, bilden keinen statistisch ablesbaren Trend.“

The eVisa scheme (UK) replaces physical documents with online proof of immigration status.

But technical and adminstrative problems mean that many people can't create or access the eVisa when they need it.

Thousands are currently having to rely on expired documents to prove their right to be in the UK.

This could easily be extended to all migrants that have the right to remain in the UK.

The eVisa scheme (UK) has proved chaotic.

Travellers stranded at airports, refugees unable to rent a home or get a job, and a man being made homeless – these are some of the horror stories we have heard since the Home Office’s eVisa scheme came into effect.

But there's a simple solution to this mess: allow physical proof of immigration status.

Write to your MP to demand this change ⬇️

Open Rights GroupWrite to your MP: Allow physical proof of immigration statusWhat's the problem? Until recently, migrants from outside the EU had physical documents to prove that they and their families could live, work or study in the UK. These could be physical cards or stamps or stickers in their passports. The Home Office planned to replace these physical documents with e-Visas by the end of December 2024. These plans failed and now millions of people are having to use expired documents to prove their right to be in the UK.

Die Gerichte im echten Norden

#Gericht bedeutet mehr Teamwork als man so denkt. Die Tagesplanung wird, wie hier gestern, von mehreren Eilanträgen zerschossen?

Kein Problem. 🙈 Dann wird das schriftliche Gutachten für die Gerichtsverhandlung morgen (das sog. „Votum“) am Abend geschrieben. Und die Beratung mit den anderen Richter:innen in der Kammer findet noch später statt. #EAkte und Videokonferenz im #Homeoffice machen es auch nach 22 Uhr möglich. Und die kleinen Maskottchen sorgen für die gute Laune. 😉

Another story of the compassion by-pass & lack of humanity at the Home Office.... a wrongly filled out form, which the Home Office did not advise the applicant of for six months renders a Polish grandmother with no legal status while living with her family (an now facing deportation).

And, guess what; no appeals when the form is filled out wrongly (in this case an online form when a paper form should have been submitted).

The Home Office are shameless
