Home Office breaks the law and Ministry of Justice turns a blind eye
There is no lawful authority under English law for either the Home Office or private contractors operating Immigration Detention Centres to detain people once a judge has ordered their release. The Home Office and the private contractors are in contempt of court by doing so, and those being unlawfully detained are entitled to claim damages for unlawful imprisonment.
What this scandal exposes is the clash between two state departments; the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice. Why is the Tory Party not demanding that Jacqui Smith and Jack Straw come before MPs in the House of Commons to face questions on the issue? Could it be simply because the Tory Party is a racist party and the victims here are only Johnny Foreigners and they don't count for anything?
Independent story here.
And a court order which I think is almost impossible to enforce.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
