"I am a part of the Windrush Generation, however my parents were not on the HMT Windrush that arrived in Tilbury, Essex on 22 June 1948.
My mother (& siblings) arrived in Southampton aboard the TN Ascania on 25 June 1958, they were four of the 567 passengers on board; that is when my personal Windrush generation history really started in the UK."

"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."

The disbandment of the teams tasked with preventing the Windrush scandal from happening again is particularly concerning considering that the Home Office has yet to fulfil the 30 reform promises.
The decision sends a disturbing message to those affected by the Windrush scandal and to migrant and refugee communities in general.

"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 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/britain-windrush-75-pioneers-country-achievement?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

The Windrush generation: scandal is a reminder of how little we know about British history
I wrote this piece for @NationalWorld about the #Windrush scandal, as this week marks 75 since the arrival of the ship.
