My sister arrived here at 2 weeks old from Uganda in the early 70s, had a British passport at birth and has lived here ever since. She recently tried to renew her passport and the home office denied it and threatened her with deportation back to Uganda. Please don’t think that we’re welcome here even after all these years, the wolves in charge of us that claim to be proud of their heritage aren’t and they will send us out of here without a second thought.
