What an absolutely sickening episode in the life of this country the current issue with the so-called Windrush children is.
These people arrived here as kids, their parents answering a call for help, they've lived here for 50 years, worked, paid taxes and national insurance, brought up their own families, and are now being deported or threatened.
It is shameful. |  | | |  |

Iraq and Afghanistan.. I'm pretty sure people got killed who didn't follow the "let's kill everyone in the West rhetoric"..
Unless I'm living in some parallel universe.. where everyone was the enemy.
People died, who didn't deserve to die.. there's soldiers out there who wish they never even took part.
You can't really blame the soldiers in all honesty.. the enemy were having training camps of 11 year olds on how to wield grenades and blow themselves up. |
I owe you an apology Dippy.
Completely misunderstood your first post.
And agree with the sentiments of your last one. |  | | |

It is an absolute joke that good people are being kicked out whilst scumbags like the ones who went to fight for Isis are welcomed back in with open arms no questions asked.
Wtf is wrong with these idiots? |  |

Truly shocking state of affairs. There’s plenty of people out there who should or deserve to be deported, instead they are going after people who have lived in this country for 50 years, made contributions to society and have family here. What on earth is going on.

Impossible to read the individual stories and not be ashamed of our country for letting this happen.
the former home Secretary responsible for this now has the gall to claim humanitarian reasons for bombing Syria.
People who have paid taxes for 40 years, sacked and denied benefits. How does that square with the illegal immigrants claiming benefits arguments of kipper feckwits. |  |

It’s the political rhetoric dating back to Cameron’s government when May was Home Secretary to “create a hostile environment for immigrants” that led directly to this situation amd also created the kind of political discourse and atmosphere that culminated with Brexit. The two are inextricably linked. |  |

All these stories are shameful, but I think this one is the hardest to read.
You see many people going to the Court of Human Rights, the government should be dragged there.
This government are Murdering this poor guy.
Albert Thomson
The 63-year-old arrived in London from Jamaica as a teenager in 1973, to join his mother who was working here as a nurse. Albert Thompson, not his real name, has been here 44 years, working and paying taxes as a mechanic, until he became ill with cancer and had to stop work. Official suspicion about his immigration status led to him being evicted last summer, and he was homeless for three weeks, before a charity housed him. When he arrived for his first radiotherapy session last November he was told that unless he could prove he was eligible for free NHS treatment he would have to pay £54,000 for the care. He is unable to pay and is still not receiving prostate cancer treatment, and is profoundly worried about his health. “I’m very angry with the government. I’m here legally, but they’re asking me to prove I’m British,” he said. He is also dismayed by his treatment at the hands of the NHS. “It feels like they are leaving me to die.” |  |

When May was Home Secretary, she waged war against the police and lost a document in the Westminster peadophile investigation

Just read the article, its a moving feature and all credit to the Guardian newspaper for brining the stories and the issue to national attention, because as sure as eggs are eggs had the story not been publicised then the people what are the subjects of the stories and countless thousands of others in the same position would have been deported.
There are plenty of people out there who could and should be deported and I understand why the government would want to deport those who do not have a bona fide case to be here, but what has happened here is senseless and wrong. I hope these wrongs are righted. | | | |

The whole country is in agreement on this...so how the f*ck some want to make out that this is a small minded/racist/bigoted country where foreigners are feeling; "you will never really be part of the UK." is beyond me.
To all those constantly trying to make out the UK is a mean, nasty, small minded place full of Daily Mail readers...have you been anywhere else?
We have one of the most diverse most harmonious population of people from different ethnic backgrounds in the world...certainly in Europe. Yes Europe, the land of milk and honey where the French vote for a national front candidate in their millions, Le Pen could have been President FFS!
Where nationalist parties are on the rise everywhere...in direct contrast to here.
Have a day off you miserable nay-saying c*nts.
This is a cock up, pure and simple.
Bureaucratic nonsense.
It has already been put right.
When it was pointed out by various interested parties a couple of years ago that the policy (implemented in May's time as Home Sec) would lead to some Windrush immigrants being caught mistakenly in the net, I imagine someone behind a desk pondering it and replying "no, of course not...they will have been naturalised and will gain full citizenship or 'right to stay' no bother...our lot aren't that fecking stupid, they'll sort it out".
The problem is that there are an awful lot of idiots who work for the state. [Post edited 17 Apr 2018 1:33]

Theresa May to Caribbean leaders....
"I want to reassure you I take this issue very seriously and that the Home Office is dealing with this efficiently and as swiftly as they can, and giving these people support"
She's set up a dedicated team, who will resolve these issues in 2 weeks!!
What about all the people who have already been deported, lost their homes and livelihoods.??
What about all the people living here in fear, who have been sacked and are about to lose their homes??
What about the people who have been denied medical care,, like Albert Thomson who's fighting cancer without treatment.
Her apologies don't count for nothing.
Amber Rudd at the Home Office said she doesn't have the figures on deportations, she's joining the dots at the moment
What a shameful state of affairs!! | |

Theresa May is only now addressing the issue because she realises the overwhelming public sympathy is with the individuals affected. Previously she refused to meet with commonwealth leaders, and she has not intervened when cases have been raised previously.
As others have said, she's a passenger on the bus, not driving it.
Generally the UK is an open and tolerant country and our natural manners and politeness make it welcoming to most. However on a regular basis, in the privacy of the ballot booth,,large numbers put their cross next to parties that like to whip up a, hostile environment for anybody that doesn't fit their view of being British. | |

"On Monday, the home secretary Amber Rudd admitted to “appalling” cases of people denied health treatment, stripped of their jobs and faced with deportation to countries they left as children decades ago, and have never returned to"
They've even been contacted by the DVLA to tell them that their driving licences are no longer valid.

So no record of ever having contributed so much as a penny in tax or NI just a discarded slip that may say that A N Other could have pitched up at Tilbury Docks four decades ago?
Tell me what I’m missing? Explain to me how anybody could access pensions and healthcare without ever having made a contribution in exactly the same way as somebody who has worked their bollocks off in heavy industry all their life and paid every step of the way? How does that work? | |
