Theresa May’s obsessive hostility to migrants and refugees has resulted in countless injustices, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The Home Office is a remorseless engine of cruelty, incompetence and Kafkaesque bureaucracy. It cannot be reformed, but should be scrapped. Consider the case of an 85-year-old British citizen – taken up by Labour MP Preet Kaur Gill – who has Alzheimer’s. He has lived and paid taxes and national insurance in Britain for half a century; most of his extended family, as well as grandchildren and great-grandchildren, are British citizens.

So, anything in need of reform, we should just get rid of? It's lucky we voted to leave the EU then.

MomentumOx …or perhaps move the entire department abroad, now wouldn’t that be apposite.

OwenJones84 Having helped a friend being mistreated by the Home office up to the point of deportation, in this case Id agree with Owen. Institutionally incompetent and xenophic, if not racist. It took the threat of publicity to get them to retract

Guardian, why do you allow such ignorant see you next Tuesdays to write for you?

OwenJones84 And the DWP, DoT, HMRC.

We need to abolish Owen Jones.

OwenJones84 vast swathes of the civil service, and especially those at the top of the food chain, are cruel, incompetent, and authoritarian beyond belief.

OwenJones84 Steady on there, Owen, that's a Lib Dem policy!

Can we abolish little owen?

My dear, Owen. If that's the criteria then the Labour leadership would be he first to go.
