75 years since Windrush arrived

Well its 74 years since the Windrush ship arrived in the uk with many people from the Caribbean on.

With the promise of jobs to help rebuild the uk.

These people intergrated into UK ways of life, added their culture to it ( for the better), some served in the forces.

Yet in 2018 the government started deportations of at least 83 people some of were British born.

Since then the government has been ordered to pay compensation to all and repatriate those who wish to return.

Yet the government can't even mention or make an announcement of this speical occasion.

If it had been 75 years for a bank they'd all be there celebrating and saying how wonderful it is

I for one am proud for all those who came to the UK to make a bettter life, add to the UK and make it a better place and in some circumstances doing the jobs some of us couldn't

The World is turned on it's head, they came over to help rebuild the UK, but are or where being deported, but Economic Migrants are allowed to stay

@milkymum1 i know, it's shocking isn't it ...

But

The Windrush GENERATIONS can't be controlled, Economic Migrants CAN be controlled

@BigGuy2 absolutely disgusting hiw theyve been treated.

As for migrants im originally from Croatia, my parents moved to the uk in 1994 when the war was going on.

Both my parents worked here but in 1999 my mum was killed by a drunk driver

So i have some understanding for migrants who come from a war torn country but not economic migrants

@milkymum1 same here, if they're EM's don't even let them in, so we don't need to boot them out then

@milkymum1 Sadly, in present era, all are just the economic migrants.
