"Consider the fact, repeated in a Home Office document leaked last year, that “during the period 1950-1981, every single piece of immigration or citizenship legislation was designed at least in part to reduce the number of people with black or brown skin who were permitted to live and work in the UK”."

They survived and thrived in a hostile Britain. That’s why we revere the Windrush pioneers https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/britain-windrush-75-pioneers-country-achievement?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

“It feels like they aren’t interested in learning lessons. So many reports and recommendations have been published but so much of it has not been followed through”is a quote that could be rolled out at the end of any and every report on the abject failings of the Home Office.

@GoodCheerPixie
The level of racism horrifies me and it sadly grows if left unchallenged. I do understand that challenging these patients in the circumstances you describe may well be unwise. I owe my life to immigrants from numerous countries working in the NHS and will forever be grateful 💙 Also, it was a neighbour who came here on HMT Empire Windrush who provided me the greatest community support when I needed it most.

#UKpolitics: a combination of #incompetence, #racism and #xenophobia.

It appears that @SuellaBraverman not only intends to 'forget' about the #WindrushScandal -- the harm, the shame and the lessons -- but is determined to ensure it happens again.

We've had enough Tory scandals for our lifetime. #BravermanMustGo

@Deglassco Yeah 🙄 it's not like there wasn't a "whole" #WindrushScandal...

IMO, these measures would be unjustified even if they *didn't* catch out the 'wrong' people. Much better to give people accessible ways to regularise than drive them into the shadows. But anyway, all the evidence is that they do just that - yet the govt continues to perpetuate.

For more detail on why these measures are so problematic and in conflict with the Windrush Lessons Learned review, see this post by Colin Yeo https://freemovement.org.uk/has-sunaks-bank-account-closure-plan-killed-off-the-windrush-lessons-learned-review/
