From the BBC story ".. a spokesman for the Judicial Office at the Royal Courts of Justice, which issues statements on behalf of senior judges, said the pet had "had nothing to do with" the judgement allowing the man to stay."

That statement doesn't relate to the reality. Strange.
I think it's because the "reality" that some newspapers are reporting actually stops short of the conclusion to the issue. At one point in the process, the cat seemed to be relevant. But in the end, it was not the reason the guy stayed in the UK.

It's classic newspaper tactics - they don't actually tell lies (well, sometimes they do), they just print the facts that suit their argument. It's the things they miss out that complete the story and would allows us to make a sensible judgement.

No matter what your political leanings, surely you can see their is no comparison between some unknown boy exaggerating his own situation to make a point and the HOME SECRETARY being made to look an utter tool at party conference.


I also disagree with your point about Labour boy having his speech being written for him.
Someone said in an earlier post that labour tried to score points using the schoolboy's story.
If that's the case then they are exactly the same - Minister uses "real life" example to highlight shortfalls in their opponents policy / historical decision. Example proven to be untrue. Minister looks foolish.

Which is why they should be dragged out into the streets and gutted before being shot in the head and left for the rats.
