Windrush

[1.618034]

I see Jezza was on the right side of history again.

Yeah, those bloody lefty do-gooders. A real danger to our country they are!

When the 2014 Immigration Act that enshrined the “hostile environment” policy was passed, Ukip was riding high in the polls and immigration was the nation’s principal concern. Labour backed the act and only 18 MPs (including Jeremy Corbyn, David Lammy, John McDonnell and Abbott) voted against it. So long as they were talking about “illegal immigrants” and not human beings, that consensus held.

The fact you fail to see a distinction between this and the Syrian situation, when it’s far from just our government saying it, proves how far away from reality you are.

There is no distinction whatsoever we have a government that will manipulate any situation for it's own financial or political gain.

Wouldn't bother as very few of the Corbyn haters seem to be on this thread unless they're trying to 'support' May.

In another era this scandal of mistreatment against citizens would have brought t
down a government or at least should have.

Quite true. Instead we get an apology!

Every single political party in history will do that.

I’m not saying it’s right, this Windrush scandle is disgrace.

This is now escalating as people are reporting that they are afraid of interacting with the government because of a fear that they will be deported

Not registering their children for free school meals when eligible (this affects pupil premium funding as it based on those in receipt of free meals)
Pupils scared of reporting that a second language other than English is used at home in early years (this again affects the funding a school can get - known as EAL)
Parents not attending parents evenings
Failing to vote (voters in five local authorities will have to prove who they are before they can vote in the forthcoming elections)
Applications for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities grants
People not being deported but not being allowed back into the uk despite their family being here
Access to Legal aid
Referrals to Child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS)

Also this 'hostile environment' is being applied to all immigrants not just 'Windrush'


What a mess

At least we’re taking back control, so everything will be alright!

It's all about collective responsibility now, which means no one actually take responsibility for anything. Welcome to the future.

This would never have happened if you had ID cards.
I see no logical reason not to. Hell your phone is tracking you all the time so what is it that people want to hide?

The PM has lied to the house of parliament. Funnily enough no calls for to resign.[/QUOTE]

Not the first time. Lied over Grenfell and said that the first high rise fire involving cladding was under a Labour government. It wasn't.

Even if the landing cards had been destroyed under Labour it would have been because under Labour no one thought of persecuting the people now affected.
