- Whether the BBC believe their own propaganda, it is impossible to say, but that they are engaged in the spreading of falsehoods relating to post-war immigration to this country is quite certain.

@@golgo-pt8ioThey did not, they couldn't get decent jobs, they did the menial stuff as they weren't qualified some did training to become nurse assistants, but not medical assistants in fact they made minimal contributions. It was the Indian/Pakistanis who helped rebuild the UK after WW2.
No one forced them to come here , so why should we pay them compensation ?
Their impact on the UK has been overwhelmingly negative. And no one will EVER change my mind on that.
I see today that the British government has already paid out 80 million for compensation to the wind rush generation. My question is this compensation for what ?
Exactly. If the descendents aren't happy, send them back to Jamaica. Sorted.
Who knows?
But black grifters gotta grift.
Yep, I saw a five minute segment on the BBC news at lunch time regarding this "story" and I was still left none the wiser on what it's all about.
I think the majority of the public would like that question answered, For What?
God give us strength
The main legacy of Windrush are the multitude of mixed race children largely abandoned throughout Britain.
Ironic , a consequence of establishing an empire and global colonies is the inevitable cross fertilisation of different genes , the British were rather adept.
Its because all the black men want a white woman, because it is a sign of massive achievement in their community, but they don't want to be fathers
That’s a bit unfair they also contributed a hell of a lot to the crime in this country x

I'd honestly never heard the name "Windrush" until they turned it into a big stick to beat us with.
A certain ethnic group seems to have become addicted to "compensation" claims....
Money for nothing is a popular pastime.
A colleague of mine from the Caribbean occassionally reminds me that "We're here to rob the place".
Grenfell was another example of compensation claims by foreigners who didn't live there
My dad was a builder and he told me that he never saw any blacks on a building site .And he would never had employed one .In his words ,there was more work in
a sicknote.
Yeah, it's so obviously rubbish. If all these skilled tradesmen came over here to rebuild our country, what happened to them? Why is there no footage of them at work? And why aren't their sons/grandsons involved in the building trade to this day?
It would have been very strange to allow "ten pound poms" to emigrate to Australia if Britain was really in dire need of such people.
@@jerribee1Couldn`t stop them going though...
Nothing to rebuild. They took advantage of a cheap ticket to the UK... Just like £10 Poms
When I started work in 1971 most black people in my area, not that there were that many, worked at the auto plants located in that area which was not surprising as they paid the best money. The building sites were all white, mostly British but some Irish lads too. As I remember the building and other construction sites were heavily unionised back then, no card, no job. There was in fact a bitter dispute over sites taking on casual non union labour in a practice known as "the lump" which resulted in some union activists, including actor Ricky Tomlinson who was a building worker at the time, being jailed.
If you only watched the BBC you'd think Windrush is the only historical event ever.
They were not invited, it’s a fallacy.
It depends what one calls an invitation really. Whilst I don't know as yet of any targeting people from the Caribbean, there were several films made in the early 60s by the Central Office of Information (COI) on behalf of the Foreign Office aimed at encouraging people from Arabic speaking countries to come and work in Britain; two from 1961 are called "Moslems in Britain: Cardiff" and "Moslems in Britain: Manchester". Another two from 1964 were "Moslems in Britain: People" and "Moslems in Britain: Places". Many did do, especially from Yemen. The first registered mosque in Britain was opened in Cardiff in 1860.
What is not mentioned in Simon's videos on this subject is that in the years after World War II some two million people left the UK to start new lives in the Dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and to a lesser extent South Africa and Rhodesia). They were often encouraged so to do by the governments of those countries which were seeking to expand their populations, and made it very attractive (the ten pound poms were part of this period). New workers were definitely required to fill gaps in the workforce left by this large scale exodus, and in 1949 the Royal Commission on Population announced that immigrants of 'good stock' would be welcomed 'without reserve'.
oh this is true the £10 pom you did have to send a photograph of yourself if you were Caribbean or black African there was an excuse made to stop you from emigrating to Australia. For whatever reason nobody has ever needed Or wanted them. Nothing’s changed in that respect.
@@ShanghaiRoosterwell considering we didn't receive a good stock into this country. However the Windrush myth has been debunked countless of times. I haven't seen any evidence to prove the government invited them here. They came on their own accord

Nope, from what I can make out the British government offered them jobs on the buses in London to help ease unemployment in the Caribbean as a favour to the countries over there. The nonsense story that we asked for their help to rebuild the country after WWII would appear to be total fiction.

The 22nd of June in 1948 and the arrival of the Empire Windrush was the final nail in the coffin for Britain and Britain's indigenous people.
White only British people were encouraged to emigrate to Australia beginning in 1947 whilst we have always been told that we had a shortage of British workers after WW2 and then Commonwealth immigration begins in 1948.
We now have a country that is overpopulated with tens of millions of immigrants and their offspring that we never needed and which the indigenous British people never wanted but politicians don't ask and just do.
But in the 1920s and earlier many non white people migrated to Australia..
windrush should be a day of mourning for the UK.
It became an excuse to throw ridiculous sums of money at none British citizens who had never bothered to become British
They travelled here on their parents passports and it only came to light when some guy got deported
It only affected about 60 people

@@jontwest I agree - but it is just not possible. The BBC itself is just a collection of letters, an acronym. It cannot stand for or against anything.

But that will not happen as they simply keep employing more like-minded people. Therefore, closure would be the only real solution.

@oldboygeorge7688 A pathetic and dumb argument. We ENDED SLAVERY and we certainly did not create it or the Carribbean.
The overcrowding, crime and resource depletion outweighs any benefit of immigration a thousand-fold.
What benefit? They're like war (good for absolutely nothing).
The windrush ‘generation’ surely ended in 1962 with Jamaican independence. Anyone coming after that came from a foreign country to a foreign country country and should be treated exactly the same as migrants from other’commonwealth’ countries
The fact they all paid their passage here does tend to debunk the current "slavery" notion being bandied about
Should of never been allowed to settle here allowing then to stay had been a bloody disaster
At the very same time they came and saved the country, certain people encourage British people to go to Australia.
We didn’t need windrush.
Exactly, we had millions of men returning from foreign battlefields. I'd like to know where this myth about the Windrush came from. It's utter bunkum. Why has it been allowed to grow unchallenged when the tiniest bit of research reveals it to be a lie?
@vordman - Your right, I believe the figures show almost twice as many Brits were encouraged to emigrate to OZ & NZ between 1947 and the early 70's as opposed those of the so called Windrush Generation settling in the UK over the same period.
I'm not exactly sure they were "encouraged to come to Britain to help build it". I think it was part of the process of independence and because they were British passport holders they were entitled to come. Hong Kong residents were a typical example of this.
Back then Jamaica was part of the UK it was okay for them to come to the UK.. and some Jamaicans did end up in Australia and other countries..
Yes Jamaica was a british colony up until the mid 60s.. and there are people from other British territories who moved to the UK..
The none British passengers on the Empire Windrush were not invited, and they have no special place in our nations heritage. They didn't come to do anything as noble as "Rebuild Britain" they came purely to try and escape unemployment and poverty at home.
Every time this ships name is raised those facts need to be stated, until this myth is finally expunged from the publics consciousness.

I remember when the so called windrush scandal broke, someone from the home office was interviewed and explained that the people being deported could not answer basic questions such as, where did you go to school. What and where was your first job. Where did you live when you arrived. Guess what. No memory and no paperwork to prove that they were not illegal immigrants. And that compensation gravy train keeps on rolling.
windrush has become shorthand for 'whining malcontents who dont realise how lucky they are'
Well said, absolutely right
The only thing where they're not so lucky is our weather, but what did/do they expect?
All those people on the Windrush and the other ships that came to this country, carrying people from the Caribbean, came by choice. If they did not like it here, they could have always gone back. Nothing was stopping them. The fact that a handful did not get their papers sorted, is their own (or their parents) fault.

sold cheap tickets to some carribeans for a passage to Britain.

@CliveofEngland I'm not sure of the source of your figures, but the concept is correct. Something our government seem completely unable to grasp, that if you import huge numbers of net welfare recipients the indigenous people get poorer. My understanding is that government spending amounts to around £16k per person. The government consumes approximately 40% of GDP. I wonder if it might, therefore, be reasonable to suggest that anyone earning below £40k is a net cost to the country? My understanding is that approximately 55% of the population are net recipients of welfare, and, I think, this will include most recent immigrants, even if they're employed. An immigrant family of 6 has £96k of government spending apportioned to them. The chance that they're generating earnings to cover this is verging on zero. Government policy, whether intentional or through dumb idiocy, is making the indigenous people of the UK (and all Western nations run by economically illiterate fools) poorer with each year that passes.
Simon you did an early video on the Empire Windrush scam, which spelt it all out clearly for what it was. The Jamaicans weren’t invited to England, the Captain of the Windrush seized an opportunity to fill the ship, as there was plenty of room available. Its main priority was to pick up our troops from far and wide and return them to England after the war. The Jamaicans came of their own accord, nobody invited them, and no, they are not responsible for building Britain after the war.
not entitled to a damn thing...
Yes well, i have two words for the BBC, Jimmy Savile! Pity they didn't put this much effort into them two words.and investigating him.
The passengers aboard the Empire Windrush were not invited to Britain to help rebuild following the end of WW2, we had more than enough manpower available as millions were demobbed after hostilities ended.
We did not need any assistance, and those arriving on the Windrush were chancers taking advantage of an offer of cheap passage provided by the owners as they were returning almost empty from taking back Commonwealth servicemen.
Caribbean nurses were offered the opportunity to learn and work to pay the cost of teaching them, with the intention that once qualified they would return to the Caribbean to build their own health services.
Britain did not need immigration following the end of WW2 it is a lie to suggest otherwise.
Jamaica was a part of the UK back then so they are hardly immigrants.. they're part of the British Empire.
@@joelc9439 They are immigrants, If they were not born here and came here then they are immigrants.

@@stephfoxwell4620The British may have won the war in1777 but for a number of significant mistakes they made, but surely nobody is of the mind that the Americans wouldn't have sooner rather than later thrashed any army Britain sent their to quash a serious uprising?
@@jansammut9557 We gave up America just before the opening up if the Midwest.
Huge mistake.
On a par with Genghis Khan letting his men get the Bubonic Plague in terms of Empire level errors.
@@jansammut9557 I blame the frogs! Without them the colonial rebellion would've been crushed relatively quickly, particularly as the British could've re-supplied and moved their forces at will without the French Navy to interfere. One of the surprisingly numerous French military successes.
Compensation for immigrating here and being disorganised is a disgrace
compensation for being related to someone who immigrated here & was disorganised ...
And then getting upset cor being asked prove you actually are related to the person you claim to be related to.
Yep, they have been such a massively positive addition to the UK 😅 Just like everywhere else in the world they are. SMH.
The establishment pushes it a lot more than your average black person......
And what about the British people who went through the wars and built Britain back up after it was bombed. The brave soldiers that went to wars and some never came back. The British did more for this country. Then the windrush ever did.
Honestly they should just say oh we dont have a class of compensation for extended family. The very idea of getting proof from this person is like opening the door and inviting in the masses to 'claim'. Next you will have them saying 'we risked our lives on the windrush to come here for the good of the UK, we are traumatised and claim as much money as you are fool enough to give is.'
When said together, BBC and news is something of an oxymoron these days.
Where the decline started would be a better title.
My beleaguered Mother was late serving up dinner one night. Can I get some Compensation?
Get in the queue 😀
I can give you a few cold chips.
😂
Economic migrants that couldn't preserve important papers and remain, in the main, an economic burden of the British tax payer.
I note on Windrush that the National Archives until recently openly stated that a Government Working Party did not suggest recruiting from the Carribbean. Quite the opposite, they conclude this would not be a wise move given the scope for prejudice and friction.
I also note that that article has recently disappeared from the National Archives. I'm trying to trace the original text but this just shows, if the archives are not safe from interference then nothing is.
The BBC using the word Windrush, in an article about the Windrush Compensation Scheme! How dare they?
More like Goldrush, even moreso in today's U.K.
The original name was the Monte Rosa and it should have stayed based in Hamburg.
It's interesting to note the ethnic composition of the New Zealand company who chartered the ship in 1948 to bring them here. Something our Simon seems to have overlooked.
They were from the same families who exported their ancestors in the first place. A very neat circularity.
The funny thing is, it only takes about 10 minutes of research on their own web sites.
@@simonengland6448Quite so, Simon. Emmanuel Shinwell and his fellow ethnic cohorts.
learned today that the original windrush passengers numbered 1000, the bbc said that they helped rebuild britain after ww2. i am assuming most would have been unskilled or semi skilled and subsequently made almost zero impact on the vast construction of houses that were going to replace the slums in most cities and towns.
Should be the "Bumsrush" generation.
William Windrush conquered England in 1066. Support Black History Month.
I reckon the ships name was "Windbag" ...... 😂🏴
😂👍🏴
I've never understood what this Windrush scandal was all about. People from the Indian sub-continent were arriving the same time and appear not to have had the same problems. I'm told the Caribbean immigrants didn't bother to do the official paperwork. But apparently it's our fault.
You fail to understand that many of the people who came here during that period came with British passports. They were British citizens. It was the 1981 Nationality Act that changed everything.
People who renewed their passports after 10 years were automatically given a new British passport.
The issue were with people who came as children. Back then children shared their parents passport. So if someone who came as a child never had the desire to travel abroad since arriving never bothered get a passport.
The government also destroyed the landing documents of the arrivals.
There were people who came as small children and was educated here and worked their adult lives and paying taxes. Then suddenly being told they are not entitled to medical care and pensions. Also many were placed into detention. Some were deported to a country they have very little memory of.
Grifters grifting. How utterly bizarre. Post modern irony.
Hardly ever saw carribean people on a building site in the fifties and sixties. Must of all worked in the planning dept
Why let the truth get in the way
The old Wind rush gravy train, supported by BBC and Home office is there no end to this ?
The torpedo that sunk our once great country.
The Windrush racket is second only to the Grenfell Tower racket.
Yes, lots of illegals there hiden away
The high percentage of illagitamate births at time in the West indies makes parental proof a reasonable request. It's about time the B.B.C is re _named A.B. B, C. Against Britain Broadcasting Cabal.
