The scandal of Windrush continues
« on: August 06, 2018, 10:50:44 AM »

Incredible, that given all the problems and the admitting of mistakes, though not the inherent racism that drive the PMs actions as Home Secretary, that this continues on in this way.

In which the racist lying incompetent PM makes a non apology apology and takes no responsibility for the outcome of the policy she introduced

A while back, listening to the interview of an elderly gentleman who had fallen foul of this, I heard him say “I could’t believe they are sending me home after all these years.”

I used to refer to 'going home' when returning to my parent's house for a visit, but it wasn't really home at all. I didn't live there and belonged somewhere else. 'Home' is just a turn of phrase.

Some good news on Windrush but Javid speaking of it as just something that happened rather been a policy of his racist incompetent lying PM who has accepted no responsibility for this is pathetic

I despair at at a country that seems to be embracing racism instead of diversity.

Quite agree.
There was an alarming drama-doc on BBC1 not long ago called Sitting in Limbo about one poor middle aged chap's lack of status in England despite living here since childhood. I expect most of you have seen it.

I'm currently watching a chilling documentary- Hunting the New Nazis. One dreadful case about a sixteen year old Nazi who had been radicalised online and planned to make a bomb for terrorist attack. He wanted to start a race war. He is is prison for six years. I'm going to watch it again.

Given that Windrush was a scandal because of Tory Home Secretary, then PM, approach, that it hasn't been sorted in terms of compensation or policy and that Grenfell hasn't been dealt with - the narrative is surely that the Tory party are either racist, horrendously incompetent, or horrendously incompetent racists?

I agree, it should have been sorted out years ago.
