Windrush Petition

398 replies

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 .

It's shocking that the Government are ignoring this.

Theworldisfullofgs · 15/04/2018 21:57

It's Mays m.o. though. Just look at how she handles other things - ploughs on regardless.

Vexatious · 15/04/2018 22:00

That's true. Trying to appeal to the lunatic fringe rather than the general population.

Downing Street has rejected a formal diplomatic request to discuss the immigration problems being experienced by some Windrush-generation British residents at this week’s meeting of the Commonwealth heads of government, rebuffing a request from representatives of 12 Caribbean countries for a meeting with the prime minister.

Sick making stuff.

I saw an experienced political journalist last week describe Theresa May as 'childish' and here's the proof.

Vexatious · 15/04/2018 22:53

The much celebrated opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games had a section celebrating the Windrush generation. How the country has changed in 6 short years.

DancingLedge · 15/04/2018 23:07

And where will we be in 6 more years?

I realise she is supposed to remain politically neutral but I wonder if The Queen as Head of The Commonwealth is aware of this and how badly it reflects on us all.

TefalTester123 · 16/04/2018 10:18

Bumping, and it's over 132,000 now. Truly disgraceful state of affairs.

Theworldisfullofgs · 16/04/2018 12:06

Am I being unreasonable to think this is like how we treated the ghurka's? I know the situation is slightly different but it's the same kind of use and discard people.

Here's a link to the petition again
