you couldn't make this one up, how the
has UKBA managed to deport anyone, never mind 13 witnesses is unbelievable to me
Judge Tain criticised UKBA in his ruling, saying it "appeared simply to have given no thought to the detained people as witnesses".
"They simply got on with their task of removing illegal immigrants," he said.
"It doubtless never crossed their minds that prosecution witnesses are supposed to appear in court."
