More lies from the Home Office?

Back in April I asked if the Home office was the most incompetent government department in history. I am now forced to ask if it is the most dishonest.

It seems that the illegal workers were not caught on their first day as was first claimed but had, in some cases, worked there for years.

I like John Reid and I think he is one of the more credible Labour ministers but when he described himself as the "current Home Secretary" at his Home Office welcome party he might have been closer to the truth than he realised.
