After the second world war, Britain was on its knees. We'd managed to kill off two generations of young men and owed huge debts to USA. We turned to our commonwealth partners and asked young men from the Carribean and the Indian sub-continent to help. Help they did. They worked hard, brought colour and diversity to a dull grey land and returned to the 5th largest economy on earth. In my life there have always been brown and black people here (my sister being one of them). I never questioned their right to be here. They are British. In the past few months we have discovered that people brought as infants (some now in their 60s and 70s) are being told they have to leave the country as their documentation was lost! I am incensed on their behalf. There was even talk of targets...yeah the nazis had targets too. The tories are now scrambling for forgiveness but I cannot accept that this was governmental policy for nearly 10 years in UK in 2018. What are we becoming?
I didn't realize this had been happening. The US is on the same course now, and it's terrible.
Breaks my heart. My sister's Dad was a nurse, he heard the call and came to help. Sickens me that we would this to them.
It's all been sorted. We still have a great democracy. When mistakes are made, they can be rectified.
It hasn't. There are still people illegally deported
