Theresa May, the Home Secretary, guilty of contempt of court!
Following Theresa May getting her timeline wrong for Abu Qatada to launch an appeal to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR, she has done it again by not releasing someone from custody, destined for deportation, within the timeline set by a judge. This is embarassing for Theresa May coming at a time when the Daily Mail makes a mountain out of a molehill as the House of Commons wastes 4 hours of time trying to tell judges what they already know!
In a separate development, the home secretary was found in contempt of court after her department failed to release an Algerian asylum seeker, Aziz Lamari, on a date set by the High Court.
A UK Border Agency spokesperson said: "Aziz Lamari is a failed asylum seeker who had served custodial sentences for serious offences.
"He was held in immigration detention awaiting removal to Algeria and we accept that he was not released on the date set by the court, which resulted in today's judgment.
"We are reviewing how this happened urgently."
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.
