In April 2016, the then Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond - who is now the
chancellor - was told by Caribbean ministers about immigrants facing deportation
despite having lived in the UK for most of their lives, and the BBC understands a
report about their concerns was passed to the Home Office, which was led at the time
by Mrs May.

Understands? So nothing factual Donny.
Has anybody come up with the numbers involved?

give it time akabula

another day closer to the whole truth

Twitter you say. Must be right then.

another non windrush caught up in the clampdown....

A father denied a passport after being unable to prove he is a British citizen has said time is running out to take his family on their first trip abroad.
John Ingram, 39, was born in Germany while his parents were serving in the RAF.
The father of two, living in St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan, said his birth certificate was rejected when he tried to get a passport for a trip to Spain.
The Home Office has been asked to comment.

Mr Ingram told BBC Wales he was born in a British military hospital in 1979 where his parents were serving and only spent two months in Germany.
He has lived in the UK ever since and has never held a passport.
But when he tried to apply to get one, the Home Office rejected his birth certificate as proof of identity as it was issued by the British Consulate.
'It's really upsetting'
He now faces being unable to go on the booked trip to Spain in June with his five-year-old son and daughter, eight, and partner Danielle, unless he can find more documents which prove his nationality.
"My daughter keeps asking if daddy is coming on holiday with us," he told BBC Wales.
"Even though I worked all my life, paying NI and tax, both my parents are British, I have been here for nearly 40 years, and I still have to try to prove I'm British.
"It is really upsetting, it would be our first holiday abroad. I know they tell you not to book before you have got your passport, but I didn't expect this."
His story comes amid the Windrush scandal, where some immigrants who came to the UK from the Commonwealth decades ago have been threatened with deportation or refused jobs or healthcare.
'How do you prove it?'
Mr Ingram said that the Home Office had wanted a German birth certificate as proof of his identity. But as he was born in a British military hospital he said "it doesn't exist, because I am not German".
"They keep moving the goal posts, they keep saying whatever I give them is not good enough," he said.
Mr Ingram said he had contacted his MP and had complained to the Home Office about the way his case was being treated, which has since been escalated.
But with the holiday approaching in June he says he is running out of time to get the situation resolved.
"It cost us a lot of money and she [Danielle] doesn't want to go unless we can all go together, but how do you prove you are British?," he said.

What we must not do as a nation is to allow the radical left to use this mistake by Amber Rudd as an excuse to allow all illegals to stay.

Now stories are coming out of people who have lived here for two years on a visa getting deported after the 2 year visa runs out being called unfair because they have a UK partner. Why is that sort of thing unfair and what has it got to do with Windrush?

look at where the problems lie, with the people doing the work involved in these cases and if mistakes have been made fix them
there is no point making something more out of this than there is

fine if there are mistakes in policy that is the governments responsibility
as far as I know there are no mistakes in the policy

the mistakes are in the implementation of that policy
that is the responsibility of those tasked with implementing that policy, the people on the ground being paid to do that job

now Donny might come back and say but they are not illegal aliens
well yes and no...

they are caught in in the difference between then and now, the way things were then and the many changes then and the fudges and grey areas then and the new regulations then and cut off dates then and the erratic and disperce movement of families then and now

They have people on their staff, at all levels, who are not competent and indeed care only about getting their quotas, yes that is the culture in the workplace today throughout all society, in the office and in the factories , everywhere

So, surely then you'd agree that Corbyn bears no responsibility for some party members displaying anti-semitic sentiments?


He's been very clearly, on the record, stating he wants zero tolerance for anti-semitism.



That's enough then isn't it. How the rest of the party has implemented this zero tolerance policy isn't down to him.

pineapple I don't trust Corbyn, because he is intellectually and morally dishonest

I'll take that as you agreeing with me then.

standard reply seems to mention illegal immigrants when discussing these folk who came to
help rebuild this country, and to help build our health service.

now they need the help they are entitled to they are told to prove their entitlement by a government
that knows they couldnt prove it as the records are destroyed

Amber Rudd is facing fresh calls to quit as home secretary after it emerged officials were
set targets for the removal of illegal immigrants.

On Wednesday Ms Rudd denied targets were used, when she faced MPs
investigating the problems faced by the Windrush generation.

But she admitted on Thursday to "local targets" for "internal" use but said
she had not known about them.

The Home Office is now scrapping them, the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg understands.

The instruction to axe them is likely to be sent out from Immigration and Enforcement,
a division of the Home Office, in the coming days.

They'll get more votes by publicising these targets imo.

which of course is why the government ....

a/ tried to deny they existed yesterday, or proved their incompetance
by really not knowing about their own targets

b/ and is now going to scrap them

Of those detained what %age of them had no papers?
