Re: The Windrush Debacle

Because they have been living here as those entitled to permanent residence. Why should a political decision change their current status? People have made plans, started families and invested in Britain. Now they are being told they are worthless just like those in Windrush they were invited here to help grow our economy. They did just that.

They were not invited here are all.
And far from investing in our country many EU residents here have milked it for all it's worth.

Are you for real??

Windrush generation........invited by HM Gov't to help the nation in a crisis, ergo welcome and appreciated.

EU Immigration..........Forced on the UK by the EU regardless if they are needed wanted or the country's communities and infrastructure can cope.....ergo not so well tolerated.

Arranged marriage immigration........neither wanted, needed or sustainable......ergo must be banned forthwith......

Re: The Windrush Debacle

Invited here by Tony Blair & others to grow our economy. Doing jobs nobody wants to do any more - building, cleaning, factory work, agriculture. Yes there are a lot of parallels but it can be difficult for some to see the connection when influenced by constant negative press.

Amber Rudd is at the very least incompetant the Tory government at the very least are evil and I can't wait to get them out of office.
thats absolutely not true. There have been countless reports of “white” people from places like Australia and New Zealand having to return to their homelands for one reason or another.

True,

But it's just so much easier to throw the Racist word around like confetti. The most misused word around at the moment imo.
