WHEN ONE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY, SHOUT OUT LOUD!

When one has nothing to say, one should remain silent! However, when one has something to say, one should shout it from the rooftops. IN TIME THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION!

Define the term #Windrush. I SHALL GIVE MY DEFINITION AND IF I AM WRONG, SOMEONE SHOULD TELL ME IN WHAT WAY!

I tweeted yesterday that the @ukhomeoffice was in CRISIS. It is true, but they do not know it yet. Either that or they ARE HIDING IT FOR AS LONG AS IS POSSIBLE, WITH A VIEW TO COVERING IT UP.

What they are defining as #Windrush, in fact, concerns the entire NEW COMMONWEALTH.

The rights given to New Commonwealth citizens were different, depending on many issues. Primarily, it is dependent on which country they came from. The East African Asians v The United Kingdom case, which went to the ECHR in 1973, is the perfect example. The British government had changed the law to prevent legitimate UK citizens from entering the UK. The only thing relevant here is that the UK government lost and the reason for that defeat, which I shall not discuss here.

If there were any challenge to UK immigration legislation to ANY LEGAL JURISDICTION not controlled by the UK, they would LOSE on the basis of RACISM, among many other forms of discrimination.

SINCE THE 1960s, THE UK GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN LUMPING EVERYONE TOGETHER AND ENACTING LEGISLATION, EACH TIME TAKING RIGHTS FROM PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE NEVER KNOW THESE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN UNTIL THEY CONFRONT THE MIGHT OF THE UK HOME OFFICE. HOW MANY INCORRECT DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE? HOW WOULD THEY KNOW? 

THE HOME OFFICE HAVE BEEN MAKING ARBITRARY DECISIONS FOR AS LONG AS THEY HAVE EXISTED, BUT IN PARTICULAR SINCE THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR, WHICH IS WHEN THE SUBJECT OF IMMIGRATION CAME TO THE FOREFRONT OF POLITICAL DISCUSSION. 

THE HOME OFFICE OWES IT TO THE PEOPLE TO EXPLAIN EACH DECISION, SO THAT IT MAY BECOME CLEAR AS TO WHICH LEGISLATION IS BEING APPLIED OR ENFORCED.

IN A NUTSHELL, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHOSE RIGHTS THEY HAVE BREACHED AND, IT APPEARS, NO WAY OF MAKING CORRECT LEGAL DECISIONS WHICH CAN BE EXPLAINED IN PUBLIC.

So many people have been denied their rights that the UK government and the UK Home Office, do not know who, what, why, when, where or how.

Hubert Howard spent thirteen years being hounded by the Home Office. Last week he went to the Home Office accompanied by a Guardian newspaper reporter. THIS IS IMPORTANT! What was the legal basis on which 13 years of harassment of a UK citizen was brought to an end? There are many UK citizens in exactly this position who need to know the legal basis for this decision. What is more, we need to know the legal basis for every decision being made by the Home Office. 

EVERY TIME THEY ARE CHALLENGED, THEY RELENT WITHOUT EXPLANATION, WHY ARE THEY PERMITTED TO DO THIS?

ONE LOOK AT THE STAMP IN HUBERT HOWARD’S PASSPORT AND I KNEW HE WAS A LEGITIMATE #Windrush “child”. YET THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT KNOW OR…? THIRTEEN YEARS!

UK GOVERNMENT STOP HIDING THE TRUTH. THEY WILL NOT, UNLESS FORCED TO DO SO. THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE BOTH MAJOR UK PARTIES ARE JUST AS GUILTY AS EACH OTHER. For example, the East African Asians' case mentioned above took place under Jim Callaghan’s Labour government.

It is really interesting that the UK government has termed THIS crisis #Windrush Generation. Those pesky Jamaicans getting the blame again! LOL!

If the United Kingdom government defines the term #Windrush generation, they will open up a can of worms which they will not know how to close. What they currently define as “Windrush Generation” is in fact nothing to do with the Windrush Generation.

THE TRUTH IS THAT WHEN THE EMPIRE WINDRUSH SET SAIL WITH THOSE 400 JAMAICANS, THE UK GOVERNMENT DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE COMING AND DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THEM.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE THE #WINDRUSH GENERATION.

This act by approximately FOUR HUNDRED Jamaicans (one for every year of slavery) is what led to the #Windrush generation. Those people who came on that first ship were not poor people. They were all able to pay their fare WITHIN THREE DAYS and they were not employed by anyone when they came. THEY WERE FREE MEN!

This is so important! It was not possible to be treated correctly as a citizen in any of the colonies. However, if you made it to the Motherland, you could be “FREE”. Get it! In the Motherland you had to be treated exactly the same as any other UK citizen. It was true in law, but in no other respect.

The following is from my blog which is looking at the entire issue of the Real Windrush Generation and certain other relevant aspects of immigration into the UK immediately after WW II., in order to try to explain how the current situation has arisen from the perspective of Jamaican born UK citizens. https://tinyurl.com/yat6ayml


"The story of how West Indians began to migrate to the UK as everyone knows began in 1948 with the Empire Windrush. However, what is little known is how significant was the landing of the Windrush in Tilbury Docks. Jamaicans are extremely adventurous and as no-one had taken up the United Kingdom on their offer of citizenship to 800 million people. That is what they had done! The Jamaicans who came over on this ship, did so without asking for permission from the UK government, or anyone else. They did not have to. They felt like coming, so they did. They were UK citizens. They had to be treated exactly the same as any person born in the UK. They were subjects of the United Kingdom and Colonies."

Here is an article from the Evening Standard: Monday, June 21, 1948, the day the Empire Windrush landed in the UK.

However, trust me! All was not as it seemed in this article.

Anyway, the terms under which the #Windrush Generation entered the United Kingdom can be clearly seen. From that moment the UK began to fix what became the “immigration problem”.

The interesting thing is this! We, the #Windrush generation, were lucky! The UK were only weeks away from passing a Nationality Act, which maintained the rights under which the adventurers on the Empire Windrush entered as citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies. If the voyage had taken place six months earlier, the nationality Act would have been completely different as these rights would not have been maintained, and we would not have had those rights. The Act is dated 30th July 1948 and came into force 1^st January 1949.

So, it is clear the #Windrush Generation is a totally different and separate issue to the "immigration problem". The UK government has deliberately propagandised in order to blur the definitions.

The Jamaicans who came to the UK on that ship were simply availing themselves of rights being put into legislation at the time they arrived.

THE ONLY WAY TO TAKE AWAY THE RIGHTS GIVEN UNDER THIS LEGISLATION WAS TO WAIT UNTIL WE ALL DIED. I am not going to tell the UK government any more. It is time they examined their own legislation.  

THE UK GOVERNMENT HAS CONFLATED MANY ISSUES AND GIVEN THE TOTAL A NAME ASSOCIATED WITH JAMAICANS, #WINDRUSH SCANDAL. 

THE TRUTH IS THAT WHEN THE EMPIRE WINDRUSH SET SAIL WITH THOSE 400 JAMAICANS, THE UK GOVERNMENT DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE COMING AND DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THEM FROM COMING.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE THE #WINDRUSH GENERATION.

They have given the job to fix it to one of us; what a consolation.

THE HOME OFFICE IS IN CRISIS!
