Mum Mum What is not being publicised is that it was meant to be 'The Five Year Plan'. People from the Caribbean were offered to come here to work for five years only, make more money than they would at home then return to their homes there. They stayed illegally, and bankster relatives/friends governments turned a blind eye because they wanted enough labour to lower all workers wages to create this, what we have today. Black, white and inbetween still as slaves on one level or another, 'owned' by 'them'. Dontell Jackson "We thought they were white". They did the same to whites. It is also on the logs of the culprits slave ships, auctions in the Caribbean and America - but 'they' lie because if the truth got out enough 'they' couldn't blame white Europeans for what 'they' did to black also. Stolen 4/5yr old white children and adults coshed and dragged onto slave ships were NOT willing indentured!

Anyone watching this has, I assume, access to the internet. The National Archive is available free of charge to anyone who wants to look at old official documents. A very simple search will bring up letters to Prime Minister Clement Attlee from concerned politicians after the first West Indian migrants hopped off the Windrush. In these letters it is clear that not a single member of the British Government extended an invitation to natives of Jamaica to come here. They were not called for, they simply turned up of their own accord, to make better lives for themselves in the face of chronic unemployment, potential starvation and civil unrest back home.
I suppose you do remember the fact that under 1948 Commonwealth Law Jamaicans were British subjects and were free to move to any British place to improve their lives. Just as anyone moving from, say, a rural area to a city in search of work. Why would they need any government official's invitation to do so?
The company that owned the Windrush advertised cheap tickets to Britain to fill an otherwise half empty ship. They were never invited in the first place, They just showed up.
According to current narrative West Indians won WWar 2 for Britain and then rebuilt her after the war. Far from truth.....the numbers employed were infinitesimal ( 10,000 total West Indians in British WW 2 Army ) and their absence here for both having little effect.
Windrush is a complete load of tosh, for one how did the people that came here suddenly become qualified skilled builders from countries that weren't up to our standards. For one we had prisoners of war who built estates like cherry tree in charlton and an influx of Irish like my grandfather who were in the trade and if we needed all these people why did we allow our skilled labours like my other grandfather who took up the deal to go to Australia for a £10? At least 1 million over time left The only reason for windrush was to replace the population end of. Cultural European genocide was planned a long time ago.
How many denied access to health services, denied pensions or lost their job? None. There, hope that answers your question. Not sure why he’s shouting.
Of the 57000 affected, most assume that they were all from the Caribbean. This is not the case at all, there being many nationalities involved. In fact those from the caribbean were not even the greatest nationality involved, that went to the Canadians. We never hear about that though, do we? It doesn't suit the agenda. Why do we not call it The Canadian Scandal'?
The ship was renamed in British service. Merchant ships in service with the United Kingdom Government during and after World War 2 had names prefixed with the word Empire. These vessels were known as Empire ships and numbered around 1,300. Windrush was one of around sixty empire ships that were named after British rivers. Empire Windrush's namesake, the River Windrush is a small tributary of the Thames, that flows through the Cotswolds towards Oxford.
I’m only just learning of this I’m sorry if that sounds ignorant but this is absolutely sick poor family’s how could anyone think this was ok this world is so toxic I worry for my daughters generation it’s only getting worse
That was my parents I come from a winrush family people can claim and get Jamaican passport from generation check it out you got family passed and got land you claim?
I've always wondered what would've happened if no Carribean immigrants had been allowed to come to the UK in 1948. How would Britains industries have coped with the shortage of manpower?
There was no shortage of manpower. That’s a myth. After the war the country quickly returned to the mass unemployed we had before. That’s why the British government encouraged people to emigrate to Australia and to a lesser extent Canada. Business owners encouraged immigration to lower wages. Nothings changed.
At the same time the government were offering native Brits to emigrate to Australia for £10.. ten pound poms.. a strange thing to do if your nation is 'struggling for manpower' ..?
Strange that as my uncles who fought for his country in WW2 said loads of folk were still out of work at this time the influx of these folk was not needed
They didn't come to help us anymore than the Poles now or the Irish or indeed Brits going to Australia move to help . why do you believe such Nonsense? People move to help themselves not the hosts , and unlike the other examples I gave on the whole these people,s arrival has been a big negative for Britain
That is the most insincere apology I've ever seen.

Is that all she has to say about the matter?! I'm sure there was more than just anxiety caused by this...
