Windrush Scandal – no lessons learnt
JVL Introduction
Two members of the government’s working group set up to respond to the Windrush Scandal, implement the Williams “lessons learned” Review and more widely look at making life fairer for people from racialised communities. Williams has recently criticised the Home Office’s failure to “review the effectiveness of its hostile environment policies.”
The hostile environment is obviously much wider than the past actions by the Home Office that led to the Windrush scandal (and many affected are still waiting for compensation). It is embedded in our institution, and enshrined in current and, imminent legislation; Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (awaiting Royal Assent); the Nationality and Borders Bill and the Elections Bill (both at final amendment stage) and more.
The fightback against the hostile environment will continue.

Glad you still have principles
……..according to the Guardian? Often referenced by the BBC the Guardian is the bourgeois face of acceptable ‘left wing politics’ because it continues to attack Jeremy Corbyn.
But Steve Richards – the Guardian is not wrong in everything! I might add their attack is on increasingly shaky grounds.
I take everything the whole of the MSM produces with a pinch of salt – with in some cases more like a handful.
