    I bet there are dickheads there wearing keffiyehs.

    What in God's name does 'Justice for the Windrush generation' actually mean?
    Do they still do that, do you think? How embarrassing.

    I'm not really sure about the Windrush thing, tbh. Isn't it just this year's Grenfell? Or is it something to do with Lenny Henry?

    Its political capital. A load of black people were basically told they weren't British while Theresa May was at the Home Office.

    The sheer importance attached to Palestine by huge sections of the party is the most unnerving aspect of this.

    Well, either they were British, or they weren't. I'm pretty sure that these matters are governed by some legal definition, rather than the opinion of the Home Secretary or a civil servant.

    I think it was an 'administrative error'.......

    Mistakes happen, p. It's a good job we have an independent judiciary to have the final say in these matters.

    If someone told me I wasn't British, I'd show them my passport and suggest they sling their hook. Why did these Windrushers not do similar?

    None whatsoever. Except all of it. 100% British blood. Cut me and I bleed red, white and blue. Mainly red.

    Exactly. All a misunderstanding, I'm sure.

    If any of them had been any good at cricket you can be sure we'd have kept them.

    As I say, political capital. Our dear Prime Minister had a difficult time at the Home Office. She has managed to find herself in the right place at the wrong time twice now

    Hang on. I thought some of these people were denied on the grounds of criminality ?
    Lammy and Co are hopping mad about it.
    Personally, if it's proven these people were indeed scumballs, I have no issue with the Governments decision to f*ck them off out the window.
