Home Office set to pull 'balloon-craft' job at migrant detention centre

The Home Office is set to remove a job posting for "balloon-craft" at a migrant detention center. This move comes after Labour MP Seema Malhotra criticized the job listing, describing it as "demeaning" and questioning the purpose of such activities in a detention facility. The job posting, which has since been taken down, had sought applicants to lead "balloon-craft sessions" for detainees at the immigration removal center. Critics argued that these activities were inappropriate and did not address the needs of individuals in detention. The Home Office has not provided a detailed explanation for the decision to remove the job listing. However, the incident has sparked a broader discussion about the treatment and activities offered to migrants in detention centers, and whether such facilities are adequately meeting the needs of the individuals housed there.
