Channel 4 news screened a good debate this evening on Windrush which is worth a listen for anyone who missed it.

Yes it's pretty staggering isn't it? Those words have come back to haunt her but she's such a hypocrite she can't even follow her own advice.

Meantime the chaos continues. A lady here who spent 20 years trying to get a passport and despite working for local council, paying tax and having an NI number, it meant for nothing.

Men who fought for Britain in ww2.

Another man here "stranded" for 35 years in Trinidad after his British citizenship was removed. He has dismissed the Government's offer to resolve his situation with a biometric card and settled status and says he will only accept citizenship and a passport. Quite right too.

An interesting article here on a lesser known scandal involving the Chagos Islands; The Chagos Islands are a UK Overseas Territory, like the Falklands or Gibraltar. They are members of the Commonwealth – that place where equality and democracy are promoted. That place where we are supposed to take care of each other. But in the 1960s and 70s, the islands’ inhabitants were violently removed by the UK government and discarded on the docks of Mauritius and the Seychelles. The UK government had leased Diego Garcia, the archipelago’s largest island, to the US military.

Since being forced out of their homeland, the Chagossians have faced extreme racism and poverty. Many valiantly fought for their right to return, and continue to do so, but so far they have been unsuccessful. The campaign continues. But today, many Chagossians in the UK face an altogether different challenge.

Amber Rudd has lost a legal battle over her attempts to deport a key witness to a controversial death at a UK immigration centre. Jamaican Andrew Van Horn was due to be expelled from from the country this week, despite the likelihood that he would be summoned to appear at an inquest into the death, and to a separate police investigation.

She isn't so popular with her own brother either! She's as good as finished but if she goes, May will be hanging by a thread.

Oh, but it can, it can.

Gove has accused the Labour Party of "weaponising" the Windrush scandal as a means of distracting the public from their own anti-Semitism row.

The environment secretary defended Cabinet colleague Amber Rudd in a Today programme appearance on Saturday morning, saying she had not seen a leaked memo which showed Home Office officials boasting about exceeding immigration targets.

Sounds like Alex Ferguson claiming he didn't see his player mow down an opponent, breaking his leg.


Seriously, he is claiming that holding the government to account, and revealing horrendous ill treatment of a generation of invited immigrants is a 'distraction'.

One of the finest attempts of whataboutery yet. Disgraceful little pipsqueak.

He's a truly vile nasty little man (the sight of him licking up Trump's arse was enough to make me puke) and anyone with half a brain can see the smearing of Labour over antisemitism issues is a desperate attempt by the far right to take the heat off May who is up to her neck in stinking shit. Windrush will go down in history as Tory ethnic cleansing and they are so desperate now they're flinging out as much shit as possible in the hope some will stick.

I wrote to my MP over Windrush more than two weeks ago and i've still not received a reply. I expect he's still wading through the piles in his office each day. He's Conservative so it will be interesting to see what he has to say!
