YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

An independent review into the Windrush scandal has found victims were subjected to the "most appalling injustice", which included losing jobs and losing homes.

The 275-page report said the “root cause“ of the scandal can be traced back to legislation of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, some of which had “racial motivations”

The Windrush Lessons Learned Review was commissioned after people with a right to live in the UK were wrongfully detained or deported to the Caribbean.
