This is a good point. They can lie as much as they want during interview : and they do.

Yes, it's common practice and it is called bluff. They can't do it in court however as it will be called perjury.

And now we see the cynical reaction of the Home Office as they deport Dr. Asha - because his Visa expired while he was remanded.

Had he tried to renew it while remanded it would have been refused anyway.
Clear indication the government considers him to be a dangerous person.

Doubt the deportation will go through though...he has a good lawyer.

Why complain? They're only doing their job.
