The #WindrushScandal has impacted more communities than we commonly realise.

A reminder today that the Tories spent public money trying to suppress a report which found that the #WindrushScandal was caused by racist immigration laws.

While they were trying to bury the truth, Windrush victims were dying without compensation #WindrushDay
Home Office spent £22,000 on failed attempt to stop Windrush report release
Hard-hitting internal investigation found roots of scandal lay in racist immigration legislation

#UK's @phsombudsman.bsky.social finds:
1/ deep flaws in management of Home Office's #Windrush Compensation Scheme
2/ compensation offers should account for private pension losses. #WindrushScandal

@hrw.org will say it again: Windrush claimants need access to legal aid.

No never. You and Amelia Gentlemen have spoken up on how the UK has become so hostile to Black and Brown people whether we are born here or not.
Dehumanising agenda in full effect right across the mainstream media!

Reform is ToryReform and we don’t forget their #WindrushScandal. They are now ready to roll that out on a larger scale

We saw it, it was reported and nothing changed. That’s how fascist normalisation works

At the very LEAST the UK government shouldn’t continue to use the precarious social/legal/economic situations Black British people can find themselves in, as a consequence of colonialism & slavery, to further seriously harm those same people

Fortunately I support @libdemshk.bsky.social -whose 72 MPs not only back my right to free speech, didn’t back the hostile immigration environment decisions that caused #WindrushScandal & have a problem with Labour making law that put me & mine at risk of our Citizenship being removed by stealth.

The #WindrushScandal is a symbol of conditional belonging: for those who are Black + racialised, their belonging in this country is conditional, + can be revoked.

We hope those affected will be able to access justice, + we call on the Gov to right this wrong.

Altijd (ook) de vraag, wie zijn onder het toepasselijk recht #citizens?

Maar dan nog, niet mogen wil niet zeggen dat het niet gebeurt.

Overigens wel hypocriet, toen de EU Britse regering tussen 2012 en 2018 een soortgelijke actie uitvoerde hoorden we daar in NL niemand over.
