  2. Home Office - Hostile Environment Policy

    The UK Home Office hostile environment policy is a set of administrative and legislative measures designed to make staying in the United Kingdom as difficult as possible for people without leave to remain, in the hope that they may "voluntarily leave".

    The Home Office policy was first announced in 2012 under the Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition. The policy was widely seen as being part of a strategy of reducing UK immigration figures to the levels promised in the 2010 Conservative Party Election Manifesto.

    The policy led to issues with the Windrush generation and other Commonwealth citizens not being able to prove their right to remain in the UK. The resulting Windrush scandal led to the resignation of Amber Rudd as Home Secretary, on 29 April 2018, and the appointment of Sajid Javid as her successor.

  3. ORG published our 'e-Visas: Hostile and Broken' report about the UK Home Office's flawed e-Visa scheme.

    We warned that an online-only proof of status could create a digital Windrush scandal, leading to the scheme's roll-out being delayed.

    We hope this will be an opportunity to bring in changes that will ensure people can prove their immigration status in any circumstance.

  9. "Consider the fact, repeated in a Home Office document leaked last year, that “during the period 1950-1981, every single piece of immigration or citizenship legislation was designed at least in part to reduce the number of people with black or brown skin who were permitted to live and work in the UK”."

    They survived and thrived in a hostile Britain. That’s why we revere the Windrush pioneers theguardian.com/commentisfree/
