I always see misleading statements like this in the media “People were in the UK without the right documents” Where as it should read “British people were in the UK without documents after they were destroyed by the British government” You notice the change in context…

Independent expert Wendy Williams, asked by #HomeOffice to assess reforms after #Windrush, finds only 8 of her 30 recommendations implemented despite promises. “I have seen limited evidence that a compassionate approach is being embedded consistently across the department."💔
