Man sues over jail 'error' claim


Man sues over jail 'error' claim

An immigrant who was sent to an adult prison because he lied about his age on a fake passport is suing the Home Office for "unlawful detainment".

Mmmmmmh, interesting one. I suspect any damages would be reduced as a consequence of the man lying about his age at the time. The Ministry of Justice will probably make a ex-gratia payment.

DID YOU also know that the p'lice have had instructions to ignore anybody they find with an illicit passport as it would "create too much paperwork".

This guidance was also issued to the DWP when confronting anybody with a dodgey passport. TRUE I heard it from the horse's mouth.
