#Windrush
Interesting parallels to the Windrush immigrants to London from the Caribbean! A good proportion were themselves tailors and dressmakers.

And what’s to say they don’t Windrush you at the end of your 15 years?

Then we begged the descendants of enslaved people ("the Windrush generation") to help us out after WWII, only to treat them despicably again and again, and we are still doing that!

We already paid off the slave owners (eventually, 1837-2015)

Perhaps time for reparations. And sort out Windrush while you're at it.

🚨 NEW: Labour MPs warn Shabana Mahmood's immigration reforms could repeat WINDRUSH-era injustices.

Campaigners say requiring some care workers to wait 15 years for permanent settlement is unfair and could worsen staffing shortages.

Barn Owl | Golden Hour 🦉

A lovely late evening encounter with this beautiful barn owl along the River Windrush, just outside Burford in Oxfordshire. The last of the evening sunlight made for a wonderful scene.

Clare Short's successor as Birmingham Ladywood's MP teeing up the next Windrush Scandal.

Who'd have thought 30 years ago this is where we'd end up?
Iain Watson, "Did the Prime Minister ask you to change your proposals?"

Shabana Mahmood acknowledges that Andy Burnham did not like her proposals on retrospectively changing the immigration rules
November 3, 2026 at 11:21 AM
We're already seeing a huge amount of misinformation being fed out to support Mahmood's reforms. We will see what the final product is, but as it stands extended times migrants have to wait for ILR is liable to only increase the number who become undocumented. 1/

Mahmood being terribly dishonest

Of course she would allow HK

Ukraine / EU were considered under the Windrush scheme tho many Windrush suffers are still be ignored by Home Office. Many have even passed away waiting their status to be corrected

People applied based on rules *at the time* Shabana

Obviously we’ll need to see the details, but Mahmood seems to be briefing that she’s sticking to these pointless, self-defeating and racist proposals, which can only be out of a mixture of stubbornness and a deluded belief that far-right-leaning voters will love her for them

The precedent is Theresa May destroying the records which proved citizenship for the Windrush generation then asking people to prove something they'd never needed to prove for 50 years and for which there were no other records.

Man, what a lore. A Lwow-born Polish Jew, from Anders' Army, stateless and displaced in England. Known to exploit Windrush immigrants and spark racial divides in Notting Hill, which in turn, rekindled British post-war fascism.
Peter Rachman was a London landlord so bad, his last name became an internationally recognized synonym for "shitty slumlord". In these episodes, Robert explains how he went from fleeing the Nazis, to fleecing the British.

Whether it's the racist immigration policy or the authoritarian crackdown on protest and Palestine Action, these Labour governments have shown clearly you do not need the far right or even the right in power to have far-right politics in practice

Just finished a one-off Windrush in Letchworth.
Good set up. Knowledgeable tech. Versatile rig.
Just like home.

As we reach the end of Black History Month, I want to pay tribute to Sam King MBE, Southwark’s first Black Mayor.

As a former RAF serviceman & co-founder of the Windrush Foundation, his life tells a powerful story of service, community activism & Black leadership in Britain.
