Those fighting for justice said 'the community does not trust the Home Office'
Campaigners working to highlight the Windrush scandal have held a candlelit vigil to make six years since the full extent of the injustice was exposed. Descendants said the struggles faced by the Windrush generation “must never be in vain”.
The scandal first received widespread public attention in 2018, with the Government facing a furious backlash over the treatment of the Windrush generation – named after a ship that brought migrants to Britain from the Caribbean in 1948. Commonwealth citizens who arrived in the UK before 1973 were automatically granted indefinite leave to remain.
“So, it doesn’t feel like there’s any kind of neutrality. The Government talks about righting the wrongs, so I think it is only fair and reasonable for there to be a degree of independence.” “People have lost jobs, they lost their houses, they lost their businesses. Not many, but some people were denied access to medical care.
