Rubbish...so they are no longer claiming they were holding you under appropriate Anti Terrorist legislation (as they did not individually notify you that you were being detained/processed under anti terrorist legislation and so therefore you would have been held unlawfully) and as such then they are basically saying you were free to go at any time you chose i.e. return landside...and that they didn't keep you in a secure (locked) area and didnt refuse u access to toilets etc.- well that isn't quite as you experienced at the time was it shiftZZ...
I'd lodge a formal complaint...see how much Police time and individuals pensions that wastes/screws up...sure some Civil Liberties groups or similar will have full chapter and verse on this one and luv every minute of it
They are trying the usual 'we screwed up and we hope u dont know the rules' approach
