A civil servant is being investigated by Whitehall after describing white culture as “barbarism and violence”, this Substack can reveal.

In a public Facebook post on July 28, Leslie-Ann Mills-Gomez-Glennie, an official at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), said white men feel entitled and linked white culture to sexual violence.

The official also claimed that the Home Office’s decision to ban far-Left American streamer Hasan Piker from Britain was made “at the request of America and Israel”, while in another post she said: “there is no Israel, only historic Palestine”.

A government spokesperson said: “We take these allegations extremely seriously. The matter is being investigated in line with the appropriate procedures, and it would be inappropriate to comment further while that process is ongoing.”

Mills-Gomez’s Facebook post on white culture

Mills-Gomez was responding to a member of the public on Facebook who described watching a documentary in an African village where teenage boys said they did not need to obtain consent to have sex with women.

The commenter continued: “This was one village out of the many thousands in Africa, I’m not saying any other one had the same thinking because I don’t know.

“All I’m saying is that some cultures can be very different to ours and probably would require some work before they are compatible with our society.”

Mills-Gomez replied: “stop the bull💩 that’s your culture, white men feel entitled. You[sic] culture is barbarism and violence, who wants that”.

Discussing her comments on Israel, a spokesperson for the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “This rhetoric is odious, and some of it draws on classic tropes about Jewish power that breach the International Definition of Antisemitism.”

“Repudiating Israel’s existence – essentially denying the Jewish right to self-determination – is also despicable, and speaks to the abhorrent fantasies of the anti-Israel movement.”

“Clearly someone with these views should not be working in Whitehall, nor with the Royal Family. There must be an urgent investigation.”
