#windrushscandal

Happy #WindrushDay2021 A day to celebrate 500 Caribbean migrants (classed as British) who arrived @ Tilbury Docks Essex UK, 1948. This piece was inspired by the resilience of the #windrushgeneration (my Jamaican 🇯🇲 parents) & the #WindrushScandal.

Reading about #windrushreport today and by chance stumbled across a copy of the #edinburgheveningcourant on eBay. This article is from 165 years ago, May 23rd 1857. How shameful that 165 years on, POC are still treated as second class citizens, or worse, not considered citizens at all, having been brought to the UK as children because their parents were “useful”. Then deported back to a country they never knew because (!) no longer useful. But yeah. Queen’s jubilee. Hoo-feckin-ray 🙄 The suffering the slaves endured must have been barely survivable as it’s described here. #slavetrade #triangulartraderoute #windrushscandal #slavery #history #terriblebadness #nightmarefuel (at Lochend, City of Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQZuQyoEWm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#WindrushDay coming to help build the uk up after war most of the black women in pictures you see worked for the NHS and ironically it was the NHS who killed my mum (rogue doctor) and now we get told to go back to where you come from “monkey” the mentality that’s still alive today. . . Here’s a true story what happened recently..... once upon a time someone said “why would they put a monkey on the front cover of a magazine “ the end . They came for a new and better life to a place they were promised was the land of milk and honey and now they have to fight for the right to live in the only place they know as home .its still alive today they want us out even people like me who were born here .... . Was the invitation to join a new form of slavery?? It’s windrush day and I mean day just like black history month it will be put back in a box for another year before it gets dusted off and paraded next year ... sounds familiar that’s what they used to do to slaves at slave markets parade them .... I know this won’t affect most people so do what people do ignore it because it doesn’t affect your life but for others. . Happy windrush day but I’m not sure happy is the appropriate word . You have to have lived it or affected by it to understand . #windrushday #windrushgeneration #windrushscandal #windrushday2020 #leroydawkins #monkey #magazinecover #empirewindrush #blackpeoplematter #blacklivesmatter #discoverunder5k #discoverunder1k #discoverunder10k #discoverunder2k #milkandhoney #discoverunder3k #discoverunder30k #discoverunder50k #empirewindrush #windrushday2021 (at Windrush Day Lambeth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQav4HmgH__/?utm_medium=tumblr

windrush Day . My mum was a nurse and she helped rebuild this country (United Kingdom) This was her picture in her passport which we still have it’s stamped indefinite leave, she was smart and got her british passport soon after . But indefinite leave means indefinite leave .... im not saying those who didn’t are silly but they were promised a new life and helped build that dream and are now being victimised..... people say they should be grateful because of Churchill he “allowed” them to be able to settle in Europe .... now years after here’s the question what should be asked ... should they be grateful for the lies? The betrayal from the mothership.... . . . Happy windrush day but I’m not sure happy is the appropriate word . You have to have lived it or affected by it to understand . #windrushday #windrushgeneration #windrushscandal #windrushday2020 #leroydawkins #monkey #magazinecover #empirewindrush #blackpeoplematter #blacklivesmatter #discoverunder5k #discoverunder1k #discoverunder10k #discoverunder2k #milkandhoney #greatbritain #unitedkingdom #england #winstonchurchill (at Windrush) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvi4XvAAHS/?igshid=xu5nse0lcrs7
