Offering money will not compensate victims of the Windrush scandal for having their lives destroyed
Offering money will not compensate victims of the Windrush scandal for having their lives destroyed (PA Wire)

I sat next to a gentleman from the Caribbean at the train station. He said that no compensation could recompense for what had happened to the victims of Windrush, and that offering money does not compensate for lives destroyed, families split up and people killed. However, he said that the government have a list of who was affected and should do a simple donation of the largest money available to all. Elderly people should not have to apply and have more hassle.

A demeaning, racist part of our history which Suella is trying to hide whilst she attacks migrants and refugees. Will Starmer be any better?
