95% of Windrush victims who have submitted claims are still without a penny of compensation. [View all]




More than two years later, 95% of Windrush victims who have submitted claims are still without a penny of compensation.

@BorisJohnson
if you believe #BlackLivesMatter I urge you not just to set up another working group but to Act.

#WindrushDay


It is almost like we are being run by a bunch of white privileged racists who do not actually give a fuck about anything but their own power and privilege. If you cannot fix this after 2 years of trying there is an utter lack of will to fix it, because they do not believe that the Windrush victims matter. Not one jot. It is the same way that Boris writes articles about saving Churchill instead of saying black lives matter. 72 years ago today Windrush arrived and for those in charge of us this century I think as a nation we are run by the same section of society that thought black people third class citizens then, today for this white male pale stale privilege government, they will say all the right things about how the Windrush generation has enriched our society, but they will mean not one word of it, because actions speak louder than words and 2 years on 95% of Windrush have not received a penny in compensation.
