Saying that, this is the home office we're talking about. It has bungled lots of things up over many decades and has been generally ineffective regardless of who has been in power (yet some blame the EU.....).

Ultimately, the law is the law and whether or not it seems like a fair or reasonable judgement, it appears that the correct justice according to the laws of the UK has been served - we've had laws on unlawful imprisonment for centuries. If we're not happy with things like this, then laws need to be changed.
If there was a law that said only people in even numbered houses could use the NHS, that would be the law - it wouldn't be right though. I don't give a fig for those who make our laws and deliver 'justice'..
