A horrifying ‘mistake’ by the Home Office has cost the British public £21m

New figures reveal that the UK government wasted £21m of taxpayers’ money on a disgraceful ‘mistake’. The Home Office paid out the public funds in compensation to the hundreds of people it shockingly detained in error between 2012 and 2017.

But while the Home Office clearly wrongfully detained these people, it’s not obviously a mistake. Arguably, it’s the consequence of hostile immigration policies in the UK which aim to deport people seemingly regardless of the cost – policies that include targets and incentives for deportations, rather than removing people as and when is necessary.
