  10. I don't think the Tories ever wanted it to be a success. It seems to have been designed to look like they have dealt with the problem so long as you don't look at the figures.

    "I want to thank the British descendants of the Windrush generation for the work, the effort, the resilience, the strength that they have shown. They could have gone under decades ago but they have risen to the point where they have created this perfect storm for me. ... The National Windrush Monument is my thank you to them all."
