    Happy #Windrush Day recognising our achievements and contributions to Britain since WW2. However don't forget the injustice of the Windrush Scandal and the failure of Windrush Compensation Scheme.

    Its time for the compensation scheme to be removed from the Home Office to an independent body. 21 have died waiting for compensation and many thousands are experiencing PTSD @WindrushLives @GoodLawProject @JolyonMaugham @WLAC21 @OpBlackVote @BameFor jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/2… @

    Please support this important march and vigil. Share with your networks so we show solidarity to child Q and her family. I am still sickening and angry. We need full accountability and criminal prosecutions Like the Windrush Scandal warm apologies is now outdated.
