One thing at a time

John Reid's tough talk when becoming home secretary has not been matched in paractice. The Home Office has missed the PM's "tipping point" targets of deported asylum seekers and 25% less people were deported in the last three months. The Home Office has been busy sorting out other matters and staff responsible for immigration was switched to deal with the issue of foreign prisoners.

How can one department show such incompetence and no signs of improvement? It seems that the Home Office is only cabable of dealing with one issue at a time. It must mean that more targets, regulations, more staff and higher bonuses for Christmas are on their way.....
