UK makes Windrush Day official

A day celebrating the contribution of the Windrush generation and their descendants is to be held annually, the government has announced.

It will be supported by a grant of up to £500,000, available to charities and communities wanting to hold commemorative and educational events.

(Guardian via MSN 18.6.28)

Nice - but our Caribbean brothers and sisters will not be so gullible as the Sunderland Massive when it comes to electoral bribes.

Good. There’s so much negative press about immigrants in this country it’s about time the hard work, endurance in the face of racism and perseverance of that generation of pioneers was celebrated.

it's about time they were properly recognised. i hope the government isn't using it to divert attention away from the awful way they're treating the windrush descendants.
