Corbyns Labour Government in waiting ready to inflict pain and misery on them ... Thats real discrimination ... Vile racists ... Its how it started in Germany Has May stripped them of their rightful citizenship, dragged them out of work and thrown them into detention centres for deportation? That's how it started in Nazi Germany, They've just infiltrated UK, re-branded themselves as the Conservative party and chose another race of people to detain and deport. Vile racists indeed. Thought I mentioned Corbyns Government in waiting ... Quarter of a million Jews terrified for their future compared to how many Windrush victims ... Its Germany all over again ... I for one wont sit back and let vile racists in the Labour Party scare our decent jewish community out of the country. Yet you are more than happy to sit back and gloat at the vile racist policies of May's Government threatening our decent British citizens with detention and deportation, many of whom have given long standing service to the country and fought alongside us in ww2, then gone on to work and pay taxes into the country. If you think it's 'Germany all over again' then you haven't learned much as back then it was Nazism......and it's the evilness of vile far right extremist xenophobia from May's creation of her truly wicked 'hostile environment' which has put us where we are today. The same vile hatred Hitler used Nazism to whip up mass hysteria. Only the skin colour has changed and i'm staggered you can be so oblivious to that fact.

Violet1956 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Brian Kirby - 2018-04-26 6:40 PM Violet1956 - 2018-04-25 8:56 AM https://fullfact.org/immigration/windrush-generation/ I found this which throws some light on some of the issues. There are over half a million Commonwealth-born people living in the UK who arrived before 1971. All we hear about a number much much smaller than that who have had problems proving their status/right of abode. Interestingly Mr Goodhart said on the channel 4 programme that the issue about the destruction of landing cards being an impediment to the people who arrived on the Windrush is a red-herring because as they were British they wouldn't have had to fill them out. Thanks for the link, Veronica. It started a hare running which led to this Wiki entry: http://tinyurl.com/y7kukwwz I think I now begin to understand why the Windrush Generation may have got into the predicaments in which they now find themselves, and to some extent why Home Office ministers and staff may have failed to properly interpret their legal status! It seems to me to need a team of specialist lawyers to be on tap to establish the timelines and sequences of events, and which Acts were in force at the relevant times, to determine who is entitled to which form of British Citizenship. Until I read this, I had thought it must be reasonably clear - now I'm convinced that clarity is almost the only thing lacking! I don't blame the author of the Wiki piece, it is just an appalling legal maze with pitfalls for the unwary scattered all across it. I don't think any normal mortal should be expected to negotiate its twists and turns without specialist legal guidance. Thanks for this link Brian. My goodness the complications are worse than I thought. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 After Rudd told the Select Committee yesterday there was no removal 'targets' set at the HO today she said in the HoC targets will be abolished. Hhmm......how do you abolish something that yesterday didn't exist? :-S The Coalition of Chaos continues to live up to it's name. https://www.channel4.com/news/yvette-cooper-mp-questions-still-need-answering-on-windrush A lady here who came to UK as a 9 year old child, passport stamped 'indefinite leave to remain', then on expiry of passport she got another which got lost ....with that her nationality went and she's spent 20 years battling to get another passport. Missed family funerals, weddings and reunions because she can't travel. Worked all her life for the local council, paid NI contributions etc......but feels stateless. Disgraceful. https://www.channel4.com/news/the-windrush-scandal-continues-20-years-trying-to-get-a-passport Ex-servicemen who fought in ww2 so now in their late 80's and mid 90's. https://www.channel4.com/news/windrush-scandal-in-jamaica-the-effects-across-the-generations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 From a speech May gave in 2012 on immigration; "You only have to look at London, where almost half of all primary school children speak English as a second language, to see the challenges we now face as a country." That's the sort of racist rubbish i expect to hear some BF xenophobe spouting and it shows May's sheer ignorance. English being a second language doesn't mean they cannot speak the language! My ex-wife spoke five languages fluently including English and that wasn't even her fifth language let alone second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 From Amelia Gentleman, who broke the Windrush story in the Guardian and has been investigating it for months: Amber Rudd's 10 days of contrition for Windrush scandal By the time she stood up on Thursday to make her fourth apology for the Windrush fiasco in the space of 10 days, Amber Rudd’s contrition over the victims of the scandal was becoming quite familiar. The Windrush generation “are legally here”, she said (again). People “who contributed so much … should never have experienced what they have”. But the intensity of her contrition has fluctuated markedly from day to day during this rapidly unfurling crisis. Her initial position of total indifference to the series of disturbing accounts published in the Guardian over the past six months morphed into a position of professional political regret. This came only after anger exploded when Downing Street rebuffed Caribbean leaders’ request for a meeting with the prime minister to discuss the scandal. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/26/amber-rudds-10-days-of-contrition-for-windrush-scandal Immigration scandal expected to spread beyond Windrush group A growing number of cases of Home Office mistreatment of non-Caribbean Commonwealth-born citizens are emerging, indicating that the problem is likely to spread beyond the Windrush group. Immigration charities and MPs reported that numerous new cases had been reported this week of individuals from countries including Kenya, Cyprus and Canada. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/25/immigration-scandal-expected-to-spread-beyond-windrush-group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Please just remember this is really about people, and not about party politics. There is far too much party political point scoring riding on some people's misery for my liking. Just look at the legal background, and it becomes clear that a) this issue seems much more the result of cock-up than conspiracy, and b) that both main parties have their finger-prints all over the cock-ups.

There is far too much party political point scoring riding on some people's misery for my liking. Just look at the legal background, and it becomes clear that a) this issue seems much more the result of cock-up than conspiracy, and b) that both main parties have their finger-prints all over the cock-ups. Whilst it's certainly about people it's nigh on impossible to separate it from politics, irrespective of party, as politicians introduced the laws, acts and changes which finally brought this misery about. It's clear that May's 2014/16 Immigration Act has been the fuse which lit the powder keg. She was the chief architect of it during her tenure as Home Sec which is the only reason she's not fired Rudd. The warnings were there but went unheeded so it was only a matter of time before the lid blew off. Had it been Cook or Straw under Blairs Government, i'd have held exactly the same views. There was an interesting exchange between John Woodcock MP on the Home Affairs Committee with Rudd dancing around questions to avoid answering. Sarah Jones MP also raised some interesting points. It's a long read but worthwhile. http://data.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/committeeevidence.svc/evidencedocument/home-affairs-committee/windrush-children/oral/82003.html An interesting article here on a lesser known scandal involving the Chagos Islands and imperialist UK; Yes, the Chagossian community is relatively small. Roughly 3,000 live in the UK and several thousand more live abroad, which might be why they are often overlooked – but their story is equally tragic and has echoes of the tragedy of the Windrush generation. The Chagos Islands are a UK Overseas Territory, like the Falklands or Gibraltar. They are members of the Commonwealth – that place where equality and democracy are promoted. That place where we are supposed to take care of each other. But in the 1960s and 70s, the islands’ inhabitants were violently removed by the UK government and discarded on the docks of Mauritius and the Seychelles. The UK government had leased Diego Garcia, the archipelago’s largest island, to the US military. Since being forced out of their homeland, the Chagossians have faced extreme racism and poverty. Many valiantly fought for their right to return, and continue to do so, but so far they have been unsuccessful. The campaign continues. But today, many Chagossians in the UK face an altogether different challenge. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/27/windrush-scandal-uk-immigration-chagos-islands-benjamin-zephaniah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How right you are Brian. So many messes created by so many governments of varying political persuasion. In addition to your link which showed the mind-blowing complexity of nationality law there has been a recent trend in immigration controls being reduced to a tick box exercise which has its origins in the introduction of the points-based system by the last Labour government. It is this tick box culture which appears to have contributed at least in part to the “Windrush” debacle. I have had recent experience of helping a friend with their son’s application to stay after his studies in the UK in a points-based category that I researched for him. It was a nightmare as regards complexity and so obviously fails to address the need to sift out the genuine migrant from the one who manipulates the evidence so as to guarantee the ticking of the relevant box. The law of unintended consequences appears to prevail when it comes to the legislation and statutory instruments dealing with immigration.The Law Commission is now charged with the job of simplifying the immigration rules. Good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 A man who has spent 35 years "stranded" in Trinidad after his British citizenship was removed has dismissed the Government's offer to resolve his situation. Richard Black is one of the Windrush generation who grew up in the UK but have been left without legal status. Earlier this week, Sky News told how his repeated pleas for the chance to return to the country he calls home were rejected. The Home Office has since offered him a biometric card and settled status but he says he will only accept citizenship and a passport. He lived in England from the age of six and travelled to Trinidad for a holiday in 1983. After receiving the offer for the Home Office, he told Sky News: "What has to be done is that my citizenship rights have to be reinstated." "It's funny that you could be dispossessed of your citizenship in just a matter of weeks. "Is that not criminal? "How could you create a law that could do something like? That can take away rights by the stroke of a pen.

Bulletguy Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Tory MP Sajid Javid says "it could have been me" “I was really concerned when I first started hearing and reading about some of the issues. It immediately impacted me. I’m a second-generation migrant. My parents came to this country ... just like the Windrush generation.” “When I heard about the Windrush issue I thought, ‘That could be my mum…it could be my dad…it could be my uncle…it could be me.” “They came to this country after the Second World War to help rebuild it, they came from Commonwealth countries, they were asked to come in to [do] work that some people would describe as unattractive – my dad worked in a cotton mill, he worked as a bus driver.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/windrush-latest-sajid-javid-personal-amber-rudd-deportation-local-elections-2018-a8327921.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
