ON Windrush Day, we must step up the fight against the government’s “hostile environment” policy.
It was recently revealed that, one year after the government recognised its “appalling” mistake in classifying thousands of legal UK residents as illegal immigrants, only 13 Windrush victims had been granted emergency financial support by the government by the end of April.
The very real effects of the Windrush scandal on people’s lives meant that many of those affected were pushed into poverty because of the combined effect of being forced out of their jobs and being told they were ineligible for benefits and healthcare that they were of course fully entitled to.
