Calls on Data Protection Commissioner to launch investigation against Labour Party

MEP David Casa has called for an investigation into the systematic use of private citizens data in the pursuit of institutionalising corruption for the benefit of the Labour Party.

“The leaked Whatsapp chats clearly show that the widespread institutionalised discrimination on the basis of perceived political allegiance are based on data being held by the Labour Party and its corrupt taxpayer-funded political operators within government entities,” charged the MEP. 

Casa referred to chats exposed where it was crystal clear that persons applying for a driving license were being discriminated against because of their political beliefs.

“If you’re not Labour enough, you will be treated differently,” stated the MEP. “Fuck him... only his mother is with us!” quoting the customer care official within the Office of the Prime Minister.

“These chats are the tip of the iceberg. What they show is the modus operandi of a criminal organisation that has no line it will not cross, to stay in power. The use of private data for the purpose of systemic discrimination is ghastly and unforgiveable. It also happens to be a gross violation of fundamental European rights on data protection.”
