Define the 'good legislation' in this instance. What part of this legislation is good if 50,000+ people face problems of the government's arbitrary making, threatening to send them to places they know little about? Most people would call that 'bad legislation'.

This is the first post (and no poll)
Just when everybody thinks the Tories can't get any worse they do with treating the Windrush people with the threat of deportation , what an utterly morally repugnant government they are and what a nasty , racist piece of work Theresa May is as this lands right on her desk as home secretary.

So what? The point was him saying "far-right rhetoric". I thought that was overblown and unhelpful......dont you?

This thread is going way off track. It's about Commonwealth citizens (not just from the Caribbean countries) who came here via invitation to help rebuild the country after WW2 up to 1973.

So what? Heaven help us. You are trying to belittle the person who is bringing attention to a wrong done to thousands of people.

It was said earlier in the house that most had been able to provide documents to the Home Office clarifying their status, a few had not, and had not kept paperwork over the years. Where are you getting the figures that 50000+ fall into this latter category?
Thanks. I am assuming that his subsequent posts contain the bits that others have seized on. And, no, I'm not inclined to read them all. I have seen enough of his past posts. If he is a genuine campaigner for labour, like JCFG is a genuine campaigner against labour, then he needs to seriously up his game. Anyway, I have seen nothing to assuage my suspicions his agenda is actually the same as JCFG's. Which is why they are both blocked.
Needless to say I appreciate your posts on this thread, and agree entirely with your pov.

Unfair Ernest. You're not doing yourself any favours with a post like that.

What does that have anything to do with him saying "far-right rhetoric", far-right is the point not his parentage.
I am playing the man, why are you avoiding him saying "far-right"which is unhelpful and completely overblown.

The speech in the HoC not just a couple of words which you have picked on.

I listened to his speech, which is why i heard him say "far-right rhetoric" which is completely effing ridiculous, which you are still ignoring.

I am not ignoring it, but cannot see why the words far-right rhetoric has got you into such a tizzy.

But that doesnt say up to 57000 have not been able to prove their status to the Home Office, it was said most have been able to prove their status even though they hadnt previously applied for passports or citizenship.

I know, and I apologise for going off topic. I just had a genuine question for another poster.
