Windrush Petition

398 replies

Theworldisfullofidiots · 13/04/2018 23:29

Please would you consider signing this petition to provide amnesty for the windrush children who either lived most of their whole lives here or in some cases were born here but the home office has lost their paper work. The home office is a shambles but being successful in creating their hostile environment.
These people have lived their whole lives here because we asked their parents to work here. They had commonwealth status and then the rules were changed .

Signed. Thanks for sharing the link - I just don't know what this government thinks it is doing behaving in this way.

BarbarianMum · 14/04/2018 10:35

Signed. I'm usually pretty "meh" about immigration sob stories but this is truly awful.

TeresasGreen · 14/04/2018 10:38

It is an absolute disgrace that this needs to even be discussed, never mind that a petition be necessary.

SianRunner · 14/04/2018 10:44

The number of signatories is climbing steadily.

GloriousGoosebumps · 14/04/2018 10:45

I've signed. I've been noticing an increasing number of these stories in the press and am so pleased that this petition has been organised.

LukeCagesWife · 14/04/2018 10:46

I’m glad this story has fully broken.

Can I point out that some of these people were born British subjects (pre independence) and came over on their parents British passports.

Albert, the man denied NHS treatment, mother came from Jamaica to work as an NHS nurse....

Signed 78946 when I signed

JadziaSnax · 14/04/2018 10:49

Signed. It absolutely shameful for the government to do this.

DoctorWhatTheFuck · 14/04/2018 10:49

Theworldisfullofidiots

doctor the home office changed the goal posts without telling them and also lost their paper work.

I understand now and will sign ( the link seems to have gone to junk mail which I can’t access on my phone for some reason).

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 14/04/2018 10:52

Done 😆

SianRunner · 14/04/2018 10:53

It's well over 79,000 now, so I think it's going to hit the 100,000 mark and will therefore be considered for debate in Parliament.

What is Amber Rudd on?

cardibach · 14/04/2018 10:55

Signed already as someone I know shared it on facebook. It’s absolutely disgusting but sadly not surprising from this shower of right wing closet racist aresholes.

BettyBaggins · 14/04/2018 10:56

Signed and shared elsewhere.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 14/04/2018 10:57

Signed thanks for posting.

bushtailadventures · 14/04/2018 11:00

Signed, I didn't know anything about this. Disgraceful way to treat people.

Theworldisfullofidiots · 14/04/2018 11:17

Amber Rudd is on "how can I hit my numbers in the easiest way and make the UK look more white"

UpstartCrow · 14/04/2018 12:47

Signed.
Isn't this what Trump did? Who aspires to be like Trump? I dont get why right wing politicians want to turn us into Airstrip One.
