Windrush - having abused them, it now seems as though the Home Office wish to keep up the punishment. Incompetence combined with malice - a speciality.

The Windrush Compensation Scheme denied compensation to 2/3 of applicants, but those who appealed with legal advice/support received much larger settlements.
The Govt. may now claim the scheme is being differently managed, but you can see why the Tories didn't want applicants to get legal aid...
As with the Post Office scandal/criminal actions, its yet more evidence of how state institutions callously chew up normal folk.

Another 10 year saga over a racist policy that countries like Gilead now are running away with.
Don't fix anything, don't build anything, just take out some abuse on a Minority and call it day. That is Westminster.
@junesim63 what America is doing now, the Brits have been doing for years....
This is an absolute disgrace.
"The Home Office has agreed to fly home a member of the Windrush generation who lived in the UK for 47 years before being wrongly deported and forced to live on the streets of Jamaica in horrific conditions for more than a decade"
Before Gilead started deporting Human Beings the Imperial relic of the United Kingdom was doing it to people who had lived in the UK for DECADES.
But they are Black, so in the Home Office's eyes they're only guests here.
See also how the Whiteness changes the word "Windrush" from being a celebration of immigration and diversity, into a word for a Race Scandal.

Sometimes its easy to lose sight of the individual stories behind the callous 'hostile environment' that the British state presents to migrants... so here is a BBC story about two cases, which show the impact of the policy on individuals & the difficulty of proving their British status.
Its heartbreaking but will also make you angry with the faceless bureaucrats & smug politicians who cause so much pain needlessly!
