Extraordinary video footage of HS2 night-shift workers firing a powerful air rifle inside a workshop led to a police investigation, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Five workers were sacked from the £100billion rail project after a whistleblower came forward with allegations concerning the 'dangerous and unethical' behaviour of his colleagues.
No one likes a Karen (though as this is a bloke, perhaps a Kevin?):
Footage captured by Aminadab Enos de Souza Dias, 42, showed mechanics at HS2's construction site in West Ruislip, London, whiling away the early hours blasting targets with an air rifle while listening to heavy metal music.
Clearly determined to ruin their hearing!
Mr Dias, a fitter's mate from Brazil, also submitted a dossier of maintenance and safety concerns, including photographs of his colleagues asleep on the job, and alleged he was subjected to 'verbal abuse, xenophobic comments and intimidation'.
🙄
The Government ordered an investigation after Mr Dias emailed the then Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to warn him that the gun had been smuggled into the West Ruislip site, where an 8.4-mile tunnel is being dug.
Bet his SPADs loved that!
Mr Dias claims the air rifle – owned by mechanic Keith Mewes – was kept at the site for more than two months in the spring of 2025. He said the gun was 'frequently' used on site, adding: 'I left Brazil looking for a safer and better life. Ironically, I was forced to return.'
You were forced to return to a country where street gangs rule the streets because some people were whiling away their spare time with some target practice after hours?
