Every now and then I wonder how or why some people/brands are allowed on social. This is one of those occasions.
Enter the UK Home Office.
This lovely bunch of people have Tweeted about their new immigration policy. Not only are they showboating about how awesome they presume this is, but they’ve also attached a photo showing them bundling a bunch of illegal immigrants into the back of a van.

Why? God only knows. But say hello to the public response:
.@ukhomeoffice you'd fit right in in Germany circa 1936

. @ukhomeoffice How can you make one tweet so nasty and so factually inaccurate at the same time? Congrats.

Sorry, @ukhomeoffice, am I supposed to cheer and wave my little flag? Is that what you'd like?

The Home Office guys are either scurrying around with their heads up their butts right now, or sitting in a giant chair reading the Daily Mail.
