The U.K. Scandal That Betrayed Its Own
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2021
- After the Second World War, the United Kingdom invited thousands of British-Caribbeans to help rebuild the battered country. Named after one of the first ships to carry them, the Windrush Generation and their families would live and work in the U.K. without issue for decades. Then in 2012, many of them found themselves losing rights and access to healthcare-and even being deported.

UK using immigrants as labor to develop England and then denying rights.
Another example UK using people in army Gurkha regiment they defend UK but at end of service they cannot stay in UK have to go back to Nepal.
Have you been to the UK? Very few people go back. Most people enjoy the rights and privilege of the first world. Sorry to let the facts challenge your prejudice.
Isn't this exactly what the UAE has done?
@@IvanAkinfiev The gulf wasnt an empire. They didn't commit the atrocities that the British empire committed. Irrelevant to compare this because migrants come to the gulf being aware about immigration laws.
@@narendra62 I'm English, people stay here because we have a strong currency, which is dependant on exploiting the resources, coffee to crystals, of other places/people.
We are not morally or academically superior in any way.
England is going to be in for a big shock when they realize how hard the rest of the world has been working... many in India & Africa are far better educated than us. We are slowly loosing our importance and I am glad.
We don't deserve any privileges. Everyone should be payed for their skill relative to time not location. We should appreciate our privilege & realize this country is balanced on the backs of other.
@@roryboyes2307 man shut up, tired of apologists like you
New frames need analysing apparently
Yes I agree
I thought it's my TV...
I think the frames need analysised
Government marking their own homework is pretty much a give in the UK these days.
Yep definitely a given but not a forgiven.
At 3:18 when she says people came from former British colonies that's incorrect, most of those countries were still part of the Empire.
which is the issue as they did not require documentation to come to the UK from the empire at that time.
so now there is no UK birth certificate and no immigration documents of them moving to the UK.
people did came from other colonies like pakistan , india then uk banned it & imposed restrictions . many are still illegal .
@@Q_QQ_Q There is no documentation
Or documentation got destroyed
Thus majority of immigrants of any sort is on a whim of current government
If they want they just kick people born and living in UK on a whim
@@Beanbeeb yea she's talking according to current status of thise countries
@@graveperil2169 Not only did they not require documentation but according to the British Nationality Act 1948 anyone born in the United Kingdom and the British Colonies was a British subject. All one had to do was move and receive a landed status. Even as the Colonies started to be granted independence in the late '60s & early 70s persons that had moved to the UK from these territories before 1973 were granted an automatic right to permanently remain once they did not live outside the UK for more than 2 consecutive years. This was reinforced in the 1999 Act but was not carried forward in the 2014 Act because the Home Office & Government said these persons were protected adequately in the 1973 Act. When the 2012 hostile environment policy, started the only legal documentation of original entry for many would have been their landing cards, which the Home Office decided to destroy.
The Home Office made it more expensive and difficult for them to normalise their status. Persons had passports confiscated, denied reentry, blocked persons from benefits, deport or threaten persons with deportation.
Two things to note (1) The Home Office was warned in 2009/2010 of the problems destroying the Landing Cards would cause as they were used to verify dates of arrival in immigration cases. 2) The Home Office was warned from as early as 2013 that the 2012 hostile environment policy was impacting Windrush generation residents. Older Caribbean born persons were being targeted and they were being treated as illegal immigrants. The UK government and Home Office refused to discuss and acknowledge the issue untill 2018. I could go on.
I am a white British Citizen. Born and bred in the UK, my parents too and both took part in WWII. I married my Iranian wife in a very legal Home Office approved wedding in 2010. Then two days laterr she was summarily deported. Both highly qualified professionals we now live overseas and cannot even visit my family. My MP Liam Fox raised it with Teresa May and she 'refused to discuss the matter'. If we turned up in a rubber boat from Calais we would be more welcome, given three hots and a hotel room and cash. We will never return. Fortunately we are wealthy enough to live in other countries. The country of my birth where I was born, raised, educated and went to University threw me under the bus.....and there are about 300 of us in the same position I have since established. Teresa May was responsible. Your country prefers illegals and asylum seekers to its own people. Disgraceful.
This scandal is a total disgrace and a blight on Britain. People and their descendants who’ve come over to rebuild the country are now being kicked out because of a ‘technicality’. Utterly shameful.
3.7 sec When the motherland needed labour put out a cry for workers. That is a bear face lie we never asked them to come over here the government didn’t want them over here and tried to have the ship redirected to Africa. The indigenous population were livid that they were coming over here. For most people at the time the scandal was allowing them to set foot on the shores Britain. Now everybody in the country has to put up with a continuous moaning morning noon and night. They keep moaning about us why don’t they emigrate to black countries in Africa with their brothers. Because However hard we try to please them we will never ever succeed. Let’s put it this way it’s been 75 years and they’re still moaning well they’re still moaning about slavery and that was over 200 years a go.
France did the same. In the world war II , France brought militars from its colonies in the pretext of giving them citizenship after the war, once the war ended, the Minister Interior went to the National Radio and said that those militars from colonies they will not get citizenship, instead they will get paid and send them back. .... Les Sapes from Congo Brazaville actually came through those militars who served in french Army, with the money they got they bought nice suits and they used to show off when they went back. That's how The French did.
Immigration is not a human right but a privilege, understand it and get on with it. Asian countries are far more racist and anti-immigrant. Why not directing your anger against them?

How dare they say anything bad about our glorious country!
When I first came to the UK I was positively shocked by how welcoming and multi ethnic it was. But than all of the sudden we got the Windrush scandal and the attempts at restricting EU immigrants. This is a very bipolar society.
@david glencross well guess if England didn’t go around the world colonising left and right there wouldn’t be post colonialism migration 😅
They came over of their own accord to make a better life for themselves, NOT at the request of the British Government. Get your facts straight.
This whole thing is such a disgrace
When I was growing up in the 2000s I used to be so proud of my country and its heritage and multiculturalism . The first thing I could vote for was the EU referendum and within the space of 5 years I have lost faith in my country and its people.

great video
It is important to understand the U.K.'s and other European - and the U.S. - government's past to understand the present and make assumptions about the future ...
US and Canada are countries built my immigrants, so in my opinion its fine and wont change much.
Question is. Is denmark for danish people? Is Spain for spanish people? Is India for Indian people? Is Palestine for palestinians?
I guess you could argue that once people integrate properly, it wont even be a big deal, but at what point is mass immigration changing a country too fast? And are people even fine with it?

This type of thing is why politicians should he held accountable for their actions. Many of the people who made the decisions who led to this are now enjoying high incomes or pensions, they should be forced to take responsibility for their decisionss.
also who exactly do you want to blame for this. yeah, the hostile environment showed the problem this person had since before, they never had documentation showing their status ever, so you could blame any or all the governments since the 60s. ofc these people deserve real compensation and not just 22k for 10 years of unfair treatment and being treated like criminals.

@@clarkkent4683 wow, its rare to see someone so committed to racist and ignorant thinking, that's some commitment to ignorance you've got. You can attempt to twist the facts and pretend you live in opposite land all you want but facts are as they are and no amount of pretending and refusing to acknowledge what those who endure and are the recipients of racism say won't make you correct....it just proves the point they make. Anyone so foolish and lacking in integrity and honor as to attempt to demonize a concept that, at its core, is about being a responsible and intelligent member of a diverse society that chooses to support that diversity and oppose those who refuse to accept differences is someone who only highlights their own lack of worth and right to respect.

im confused - so did this only affect people who hadnt already got a passport when Theresa May changed the law or did this affect everyone who came?
One thing i know is that UK don't teach bad part of its history in books including atrocities done in colonies, slavery. The generation should be aware of history so they stop glorifying British Royal family and be aware of what Britain done to colonies.
actually they do i learned about what british did to kenya and south africa. lol just say you school doesnt, dont say uk as whole.

Of the 56,000 immigrants affected by the so-called 'Windrush scandal', not all of them were of Caribbean origin.
In fact not even most of them were. The largest nationality affected was Canadian, but you dont hear about those.Why isnt it called 'the Canadian scandal?'

Europe... 🤷🏻♂️ my grandfather was Italian, and Italy still refuses to recognize our right to citizenship, 3 generations from my Granpa have that right. Still, with my family we've tried 4 times already... and they keep asking for family papers that were burned in the Second World War for instance. This is just one of many excuses they've given. We've got my grandfather's papers in order, translated to Italian, and certified by all means of diplomacy. We already gave up.
lol. in the US and canada, if you just born here you automatically get citizenship.
Why did EVERYTHING happen in 1948 in the UK?
just classic, get the job done and say goodbye 👋
@Ti Xier they built europe and America they deserve 💯 citizenship and even some compensation the atrocities they were put through.
British Hypocrisy...What else...?
:/
There’s a lot missing about this story. Why didn’t they get registered as british when they first came in? Didn’t they have a government registration system for that. We have had that in the netherlands since napoleon. Could they live all these years without a passport? I just don’t get it.
Ofcourse there is. It's all about money. They want more compensation and give a victim story with BLM entitlements. Because slavery, yo.
@Jeroen their landing cards could've been used to give them citizenship but the British government had it destroyed recently
I thought residence permit is given automatically if you lived in the country for over 5 or 6years? How did the person manage get on benefits,welfare (keeping them while working part time to ensure you are eligible)
Why did the immigrants not have documentation? Were they refused it or just never bothered to get it?
8:43 the government also destroyed landing cards/ documentation that could be used as proof of legal migration.
In America this kind of action is actually supported

Systematic failings at place was the right answer
The Windrush scandal was terrible but that last part was misleading. Black African families are newer immigrants and therefore tend to have less wealth. Black Caribbean families (which were more affected by the scandal) actually have a higher average wealth than all other ethnic groups.
not true at all. African UK immigrates are wealthier and more educated than Caribbean immigrants. Because they are often given a path to citizenship through economic migration and skilled workers compared to caribbean immigrants who came to the U.K for unskilled migration in the 1970s
Indians are the wealthiest ethnic minority in the UK. By far.

There talking out of their arses.
This is so crazy to me, my grandparents emigrated from Ireland to Britain before 1971, is the only reason they didn't have to deal with this because they were white?
Practically. If you look at the history of racism in the British Isles, it was the case that people of Irish descent weren't considered White in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. That was a hangover from the English Reformation and the colonisation of Catholic Ireland by the English and the consequences of that with the Irish Potato Famine, and the prejudice against Irish migrants - the Navvies - who came to Britain to build their roads, and railways and canals. As many were Catholics they were excluded by laws from a lot of professions, and it wasn't until the late 19th century that those laws were abolished. Centuries of that struggle are still at play in Northern Ireland. The English first tried to colonise Ireland in 1192, and here we are now still needing to refer to it, as another living example of the consequences of state-sponsored racism. Ignorance and Knowledge are two sides of the same coin. When the State wants you to forget or ignore something about the past be very careful, as you might be likely to be short-changed in the present by the powerful.
@@BigHenFor yeah I was aware of most of that and my grandparents did have to deal with racism, particularly being called terrorists, but they never had any recent threat to their citizenship here and the only difference between them and the people in the video is skin colour
@@BigHenFor You seem a little too biased toward the English. "colonisation of Catholic Ireland by the English" I thought a lot of the Northern Irish were descended from the Scottish ? If you go further back in history you'll find that the Scottish themselves were invaders who wiped out the existing tribes and cultures there.
If colonisation is state sponsored racism, would you agree the Norman's, Romans, Celtic tribes, were racist too ?
@@SerBallister yep, Norse were literally war criminals. So were the huns and the goths and so on and so forth. If you can produce Genghis Khan in a court I'd love to prosecute him for war crimes. In the meanwhile, let's make sure those who are still suffering now get their reprieve. Then we can embark on your fantasy of punishing dead cultures, you simpleton.
That's the reason all brothers and sisters shouldn't want to represent England and instead represent their roots on international level (Sterling, AJ, Rashford, Saka, ect...)

If a country burned down a village enslaved the villagers, do the villagers and their descendants have no right to be angry at that country just because “everyone else did it?”
Substitute literally any crime instead of burning homes and enslaving people and it’ll become clear how weak your argument is. The way to deal with thorny issues such as those is to acknowledge that while they were acceptable then, they are wrong now and you apologize and try to mitigate any issues.
What you don’t do is throw your hands in the air, say “I was just following the bandwagon, sorry not sorry, that’s how it was, tough and you should leave.” What an amazingly fantastic way to keep cultural disunity alive by being so incredibly callous.
A work visa is not the same as citizenship... unfortunately.
Also, just about *every* country in Europe at one point was the strongest of them all and Turkey was once part of the most powerful empire in the area mostly up until WW1.
The video is about *50* years(5 times the time) of being in the U.K. over multiple generations, policies changing without new documentation to separate the old from potential new citizens, and total loss of income over a decade with inadequate backpay of the U.K.'s basic social benefits for that time. Not the same.
So basically people should realize that Europeans ( Polish, Bulgarians etc. ) got the same opportunity as Commonwealth people, but we played by the rules to come here, even with the EU Settlement Scheme, which now regulates the flow of immigrants from Europe.

They will do the same to the Europeans living in UK
@TREVELL N. they have documents and at then not even that mattters, europeans don't have any documentation to prove their citizen status, it will happen again.
the royal family should help these people out!

Humans survived because they have laws and closed societies.
