A BIZARRE Home Office video claiming that “activist lawyers” are disrupting its deportation efforts was fiercely slammed as “dangerous” and “nasty” today.

The video tweeted by the Home Office on Wednesday shows a rudimentary graphic of aircraft on a map leaving Britain towards Africa, the Middle East and Asia, to the sound of pre-flight music.

Text in the graphic reads: “We are working to remove migrants with no right to remain in the UK. But current return regulations are rigid and open to abuse, allowing activist lawyers to delay and disrupt returns.”
