Members of staff from a private company working for the Home Office have been 'sacked' after a Jewish baby's UK birth certificate was defaced. North London parents Israel and Dorin were applying for a passport for their daughter and were shocked to see his place of birth, Israel, had been scribbled out, and part of the certificate ripped.The Passport Office, which is responsible for issuing passports in the UK, is a division of the Home Office.

Israel added: "Unfortunately this birth certificate is not valid any more because it's been scribbled on. So this person has destroyed my child's identity, their birth certificate, just because it's a Jewish person."We are terrified because if this is the environment within the Home Office this is not a place we want to live. We are just as British as everyone else.
