C'mon Annie, she's as useless a Home Secretary as TM was.

Many people who came to Britain liked it and stayed here until they retired when they returned to their country.
If you want to give people the slave guilt trip start with the Royal Family most ordinary people are not descendants of slave owning landowners.

Re: The Windrush Debacle
OK will try to explain my thoughts on this debacle.It seems that Children of the Windrush generation got if they applied for a passport got one.
In a lot of cases in the late 80s if their children applied for a passport then in a few cases they were refused.
Ok so far.
Seems to me what happened under May in the coalition Gov with the influx of Illegals they instructed the Immigration Dept to do some about it.
So it was to attack the weakest.
I see that May has admitted after weeks of denying it the Immigration had quotes in their deportation of ILLEGAL Immigrants.
Seems they used Black UK citizen to fill these quotes.
Rudd has to resign over these disgusting racists acts by the Civil Servants and they should be sacked as well

Re: The Windrush Debacle
Thing is Galty, they are all in the scratch each others back, non accountable club aren't they.It sickens me that we can have so many brain dead cretins in the Government, in charge of local authorities etc, but no-one is ever accountable, or brought to task.
Look how long ago the Rotherham child abuse scandal was for example, yet they are still fannying around. Council members & some members of the Police should be in jail over that right now.
This country is run & "managed" by unaccountable overpaid morons.

There is a "slave guilt trip" and it is what's driving the emotions of this situation both in the house of commons and on the streets. You can disagree with it all you like but there it is.
