Closed petition Get compensation from the Government for the Immigration (Windrush) Victims

Closed on 24 October 2018

The people who have been threatened with deportation, who have lost wages and jobs and the stress of having to apply for citizenship in a country (GB) where they understood they had a right to stay. The Government has not kept the records pre-1973. That is a failure on the Government's part .

I have lived here for 61 years, worked, paid tax, married, passed my driving test etc. I was never questioned re my Canadian birth cert, I arrived here on my mother's Passport as she returned to England after my Fathers death in Canada 1956. My father fought in the last world war as a volunteer. I have always known I had an independent right to stay. I have now had to apply for citizenship, been stopped from working for 15 months. Loss of earnings is debilitating. I am stressed out and angry.
