Windrush
How can EU non-Brits have confidence that their rights will be properly protected
The way the Windrush immigrants have been treated by the Government has been appalling. Their treatment must be of grave concern for EU citizens living in the UK, worried about how they will be treated post-Brexit.
Sajjad Karim, a Conservative MEP made this point when asking
If the British Home Office and our justice system have so demonstrably failed in protecting Windrush British citizens how can EU non-Brits have confidence that their rights will be properly protected? Frankly today they can't.
It beggars belief that anyone in Government could have thought an attempt to deport the Windrush Generation was the right thing to do. Morally, there can have been no justification for it.
