  • Apr.30.2018: ‘Abandon empathy, all ye who enter’ — the Home Office has long turned MPs to monsters. The Home Office is a muggy, closed department which keeps out fresh air and light. Almost every Home Secretary seems to turn paranoid, defensive and authoritarian. They leave their liberal values, like muddy boots, outside the door. Michael Howard was naturally ruthless and authoritarian. The Home Office under him became as it is now, a factory of extreme intolerance. I remember one prison I was visiting where Howard had banned the growing of plants by inmates. Rehabilitation had become a dirty word. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, The iNews.
