OMG Human Rights Lawyers Again

Waterstones and Amazon obviously well on top of trademark and copyright issues. I had to issue Amazon with a cease and desist some years ago to stop them selling my own work under someone else's name. It took them months for them to comply.

That was a very good length!

But I had always thought Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland.

Did Charles Dickens also write a version.

That's the only thing which has been confusing me!

You are quite right, I made a mistake quoting the wrong version.
The quotation that I made was from the Lewis Carrol version.
The Lewis Carrol version was all about the normal rules and logic being up-turned.

Just the 1 probably

Has the government really 'returned' 24,000 people?

Sir Keir Starmer has claimed more than 24,000 people have been returned since Labour came to power.

However, we can look back at the last full set of published returns figures which cover the period between July (when Labour came to power) and December 2024.

Over this period there were 17,300 returns.

Out of this overall figure, 6,150 returns (35%) were categorised as "other verified" - in order words, individuals who left the UK without notifying the government.

17,300 total returns, form July to December 2024, of which 6,150 left the UK voluntarily, without notifying the Government. The rest were 'Controlled' 'Assisted' or 'Enforced'.
Controlled means they were escorted by a government official to board a plane, at no cost to the UK.
Assisted means they accepted the offer of £3,000 to leave voluntarily.
Enforced means they were deported.
 
Something interesting which I noticed about the wording of the judge's comments is that he referred to there being a "statutory bar" on the deportation of this man. That is because in 2015 the Tory government took the rules from the human trafficking convention, strengthened them, and put them into UK domestic law as part of the Modern Slavery Act. It didn't click at first what he meant by "statutory bar". What it means is that we are not following some vague rules under an international treaty. Instead we are following precise procedures under an act of the UK Parliament. That gives the Home Office much less wiggle room and is probably why this man was successful in pausing his deportation.
