Meeow!

Cats again.  Rather silly of the Home Secretary to have suggested that there was a case of an illegal immigrant whose deportation was blocked by the courts because he had a pet cat.  Nonsense of course - the deportation was blocked because the court accepted that he had established a family life here with his girlfriend and the existence of the cat was simply a minor piece of evidence in support of that.  Of course the way the Home Sec told it made for a better story and went down well with the party faithful who would like to see The Human Rights Act dumped, but it is a bit worrying that a Minister of the Crown should be so free and easy with the truth.
