I mean, let's not pitch people against each other, nor forget that many postmasters were minority groups whose persecution also took on racist flavours... The Post Office victims got very little between them and it doesn't compensate what was actually taken from them. It's ended up being 4-figure sums when they often lost hundreds of thousands, as in everything they had. We can demand proper compensation for both, and proper punishment for the perpetrators for both. Please, please don't make it an either or. This is how they do it - divide and rule.

I am deeply saddened and disappointed to see this. Mr. Richard should never fight to return to the UK. In fact, I want to share a fact with all ethnic minority individuals: no matter how appealing it may seem to come to the UK for an easier life, we must remember that our own countries of origin have their own problems. Instead of seeking an easy way out by coming to the UK, where we may be treated as second-class citizens, we should work hard to lead better lives in our home countries. It's important to have pride and self-respect. Believe me, the UK or the USA is not necessarily better than our own countries.

🤔 It's ironic to hear the ruling class talk about British values when honesty, integrity and loyalty seem like misnomers. The Windrush generation made significant contributions to this country's growth and success, with many of their family members even aiding in the war effort. Yet, their treatment is a glaring example of betrayal. Unfortunately, it's not surprising, considering the historical mistreatment of groups like the Gurkhas and the struggles faced by Afghan translators and their families. It's a shameful reality. God forbid, if there’s another war, people might reconsider their allegiances differently.

I’m sorry how many people got caught up in so called Windrush scandal. I think all the recent people should have been giving stay, for not having there papers. What I mean is they should have done papers in the 80s that when my parents and 2 of my siblings who were born in St Vincent did theirs , I was ok because I was born here. My elder brother didn’t do his , but was lucky cos he travel bs l to St Vincent in 2008 which Js 4 years before Teresa mays Hostile Environment Policies. If my brother had decided to go back after 2012 they Hostile environment policy would have required him to prove that he has been in uk since 1969 he would have to give evidence for every year of being here. When this policy was put in place I do t think it was set up for catching lo g time residence of uk. So the policy created that problem. The administrator of the policy was ignorant when ppl tried to tell them they been here since the 60s, Plus Windrush kids mainly got the brunt of it, most now in their 60s had no proof cos they came on parents passport. These kids should have done papers in the 80s when required but as ppl do they miss these things sometimes or like my brother had no interest in doing it. So for my it not totally racism, but I thing racism played a part in it when they dealt with individual cases they didn’t want to comprise. Proving you been in country for 40 plus years is not easy when they asking for details for every single year. Remember hostile Environment was designed to catch recent illegal immigration. So enviroment policy required everyone who was applying for a job, driving licence, buying property or renting to provide prove if British citizens by showing passport. So some Windrush first generation children who now in 60s never had a passport cos they never went back home since they been here. Plus some Windrush people who had Jamaican passport when they went home to visit had problems coning back if they went to ja after 2012, but I need to research that one more.

When he was brought to the UK as a child, such paperwork was not needed because the islands he came from were still under British colonial rule or had the Queen as head of state. He was a 'British citizen' traveling from one British territory to another. These countries subsequently gained independence. And it was then someone's bright idea to deport citizens from Britan's former Caribbean colonies even though they possessed UK passports.
