You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. However, you can bl**dy well make it wish it had!

She's not aged kindly has she!
BBC News - Abu Qatada to press for bail release
There could well be tears before bedtime if Mr Qatada gets out (to 23hr curfew, no access to internet, telephone, permanent surveillance, no visitors unless approved, etc).
Bit difficult not to grant bail, given he complied with it and it is accepted he was arrested on the wrong day!

Trouble is that HO is too big, with the best will in the world, either that or not enough delegation

It is a political statement. All political statements have certain characteristics in common. It is designed to raise the personal profile of the speaker. It seeks to convey the illusion that the speaker is possessed of the ability to address the problem under discussion while in reality, the statement is vacuous and devoid of substance.
The Secretary of State for the Home Department is fully aware that she exercises absolutely no control over the 'four freedoms' of 'Movement', 'Capital', 'Labour' and 'Services' within and between the 27 member states of the Union.
The statement is a headline-grabbing irrelevance - rather like most British Politicians!
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
