THE government has organised another charter flight mass deportation to Jamaica, one year after the last one.  

This is the second such charter flight since the Windrush scandal was widely exposed, targeting Caribbean communities.  

This is expected to take place on February 11— which coincidentally, is the 30th anniversary of the release of Nelson Mandela from Victor Vester prison — the second such flight to Jamaica since the Windrush scandal was fully exposed.
