“A man detained by the immigration authorities for four years and seven months while they tried to deport him to Morocco is claiming damages for unlawful detention after the high court ruled his incarceration was “self-evidently unreasonable”.”

If being held in detention for over four and a half years just to be deported to morocco is not a clear demonstration that the system is not fit for purpose, I don’t know what is?

I could not agree with you more. It just shows that the system is shambloic and this is where the focus needs to be and not on scrapping the Human Rights Act.

Seriously, why was this man kept in detention for so long?
