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.
#HostileEnvironment #HostileEnvironmentPolicy
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.
(nb: "Windrush Generation" is a made-up term created by UK Cabinet Office.)

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.

“Survivors of the scandal say they feel the government robbed them of their Black British identities and made them feel like aliens and non-entities.
“This hurt and trauma is felt by many people of colour and migration status as we constantly deal with microaggressions and everyday racism, which have an impact on our mental wellbeing.”

"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.
This applies across the board when it comes to being aware of our past. The scandal unveils the painful consequences of ignorance in UK #history

@GoodCheerPixie
The level of racism horrifies me and it sadly grows if left unchallenged. I do understand that challenging these patients in the circumstances you describe may well be unwise. I owe my life to immigrants from numerous countries working in the NHS and will forever be grateful 💙 Also, it was a neighbour who came here on HMT Empire Windrush who provided me the greatest community support when I needed it most. -

It appears that @SuellaBraverman not only intends to 'forget' about the #WindrushScandal -- the harm, the shame and the lessons -- but is determined to ensure it happens again.
