A whole load of Children who arrived in the Windrush generation on their parents (British) passports were basically told they had no right to be in the country. Many lost their jobs. Lost the right to the NHS. People had gone to Jamaica on holiday and then told they could not reenter the country. It was SHOCKING in its racism. All because civil servants had been given targets for deportation of illegals by the government and they were very definitely a low hanging fruit - how do you prove your right to remain if the only official document you have is a parents passport from the 1950's. These people are as British as I. The government put their hands up and apologised and then have done nothing to compensate for the harm done - because as I state above they do not see them as the same kind of citizens as them and they do not care.
