Pants on fire

Oh dear. Home Secretary, Theresa May, has been misleading the British public about the Human Rights Act:

"We all know the stories… about the illegal immigrant who cannot be deported because, and I am not making this up," she made up, "he had a pet cat."

What everyone seems to have overlooked in the furore of what has been dubbed the cat-flap, is the real travesy of the Human Rights Act: the fact that people—be they British or foreign nationals—who own a pet cat are not immediately deported. Along with their sodding cats.

Hanging is too good for them.
