This Home Office Valentine’s Day message got the heartfelt takedowns it deserved
Someone at the Home Office really did think this was an appropriate message to send out on Valentine’s Day.
And guess who was in charge when they sent it out?
Who in the home office actually thought that this tweet was suitable for a government department to send out. @sajidjavid
