Who are the Windrush generation?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- The Windrush generation arrived in the UK between the late 1940s and early 1970s, invited to help rebuild Britain after the second world war. Since 2012, however, when the then home secretary Theresa May launched a crackdown on immigration, many members and their children have faced uncertainty and had their access to public services blocked

That is the most insincere apology I've ever seen.
Artwork, really
Is that all she has to say about the matter?! I'm sure there was more than just anxiety caused by this...
"we are genuinely sorry for any anxiety caused", but not for the actual issues faced by these people. If I learned anything working in customer service, it is that roundabout statements like this, especially by people responsible, are always attempts to evade responsibility, not to accept it.
My grandma and grandad was in the wind rush and are still alive today
Mine wasn't
I'm watching this because I'm learning about it in school :)

Me too.

The day Britain died.
Guff.
Dear guardian team. Thank you for the content, but.i would ask you to consider dropping the portentous. music from these features.
ok ill do that
Who cares about the music?
Music for some ppl is life it keeps some of us alive
@@nik.97 As a musician, and a human, I entirely agree. I just thought the emotional pitch of the soundtrack here didn't serve the content or the viewer and detracted from the actual info in the vid. I'm definitely not anti-music :)
@@Crescent-IV anyone paying attention, firstly.
why did Theresa May apologize to Caribbean leaders for the treatment of the Windrush generation, they are British citizens!
Apologize, this should never of happened in the first place.Them people are British citizens and allways will be.
Do you want to be Japanese?
T Watt You are a Japanese citizen. Just like they are British citizens.
Mum Mum What is not being publicised is that it was meant to be 'The Five Year Plan'. People from the Caribbean were offered to come here to work for five years only, make more money than they would at home then return to their homes there. They stayed illegally, and bankster relatives/friends governments turned a blind eye because they wanted enough labour to lower all workers wages to create this, what we have today. Black, white and inbetween still as slaves on one level or another, 'owned' by 'them'.
Dontell Jackson "We thought they were white". They did the same to whites. It is also on the logs of the culprits slave ships, auctions in the Caribbean and America - but 'they' lie because if the truth got out enough 'they' couldn't blame white Europeans for what 'they' did to black also.
Stolen 4/5yr old white children and adults coshed and dragged onto slave ships were NOT willing indentured!
that was a bad apology.
I will not breath easy until this execrable government has been cast into oblivion. May can resign now.
Unfortunately the alternative isn't much better.
She has now l
They began arriving under Labour's watch......
Anyone watching this has, I assume, access to the internet. The National Archive is available free of charge to anyone who wants to look at old official documents. A very simple search will bring up letters to Prime Minister Clement Attlee from concerned politicians after the first West Indian migrants hopped off the Windrush. In these letters it is clear that not a single member of the British Government extended an invitation to natives of Jamaica to come here. They were not called for, they simply turned up of their own accord, to make better lives for themselves in the face of chronic unemployment, potential starvation and civil unrest back home.
Whinerush.
Exactly

If you could turn back time 🤔🤔
If only, drop an asteroid on Africa, before discovery! Save so much grief!
@@richardscathouse Discovery?
@@richardscathouse the first humans were born in africa, how tf do you discover the place you live in?
@@richardscathouse um?? africa is where everyone originally came from? tf
People in the UK did not want them in the first place.....we were never asked....Enoch was right.
People of the UK did want them. That's why there's so many mixed race people about. A few neo Nazis didn't want em here, but who cares?
Lol irionic how the nazies were the ones who built that boat lol the ship was made in Germany and seized after Berlin fell 😂😂😂
feel sorry for the mix race ppl stuck between to races that behind closed doors can't stand eachother.
the chicken man don’t comment on a group of people who you have no clue about.
Worked on the buses empty dust bins yeah they built Britain
Worked on the building sites worked in the hospital yes they built Britain.
If you say so maurice.
@@mauricealexander3834no they didn't 😂
@@MikeYm98875 If you knew what the Union Jack 🇬🇧 really meant you would start crying 😭
Shoddy journalism. Always fact check before releasing an article.
And why would it be 'shoddy'?
According to current narrative West Indians won WWar 2 for Britain and then rebuilt her after the war. Far from truth.....the numbers employed were infinitesimal ( 10,000 total West Indians in British WW 2 Army ) and their absence here for both having little effect.
Who is saying West Indians won ww2 for gb and how is that relevant to this video?
thank you Anthony, very cool, but try and stick to the topic of the video
And what have you done?
@@mauricealexander3834 Britain was rebuilt after the 2ndWWar using very little migrant labour. FACT.
@@anthonylondon3366 During world war ll Britain recruited some 600,000 African men to fight the Axis powers. Did you forget to mention this FACT.
I'm really curious where the name Windrush came from. Was it some Caribbean port or something?
the name of the ship
@@APPLEonSTEROIDS
Thanks. That was easy. I might read about the ship sometime now I know where the name comes from.
The ship was renamed in British service. Merchant ships in service with the United Kingdom Government during and after World War 2 had names prefixed with the word Empire. These vessels were known as Empire ships and numbered around 1,300. Windrush was one of around sixty empire ships that were named after British rivers. Empire Windrush's namesake, the River Windrush is a small tributary of the Thames, that flows through the Cotswolds towards Oxford.
How many denied access to health services, denied pensions or lost their job?
None.
There, hope that answers your question.
Not sure why he’s shouting.
Of the 57000 affected, most assume that they were all from the Caribbean. This is not the case at all, there being many nationalities involved.
In fact those from the caribbean were not even the greatest nationality involved, that went to the Canadians. We never hear about that though, do we? It doesn't suit the agenda. Why do we not call it The Canadian Scandal'?
...and more race politics. Why is the West so OBSESSED with race this last decade?
I'd say its been longer than a decade considering race played a decent part in the whole slavery thing, but that's just my opinion.
And of course victimization! Most victim points wins! 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Windrush is a complete load of tosh, for one how did the people that came here suddenly become qualified skilled builders from countries that weren't up to our standards.
For one we had prisoners of war who built estates like cherry tree in charlton and an influx of Irish like my grandfather who were in the trade and if we needed all these people why did we allow our skilled labours like my other grandfather who took up the deal to go to Australia for a £10? At least 1 million over time left
The only reason for windrush was to replace the population end of.
Cultural European genocide was planned a long time ago.
Continue to feel hurt potato eater…
you've lost your sanity
Exactly !!
Has a black man in Jamaica born in Jamaica black skin got the same rights in England
As a white Englishman born in England got the same rights as a black Jamaican in Jamaica? No. And I wouldn’t expect it.
You immigrated to the masters plantation...Did you really think they wanted you there...
BP worldwide have no friends,only enemies. Wow
Who's here cos of online work?
I’m only just learning of this I’m sorry if that sounds ignorant but this is absolutely sick poor family’s how could anyone think this was ok this world is so toxic I worry for my daughters generation it’s only getting worse
They had over 60 years to sort a British passport out, which the vast majority did!!!!
No 1948 to 1973 not 1971
EU CitizenZ could be next in years to come.
Who else came here because of their school?
I wasn't even taught this in school, I had to find out about this by chance.
The winrush people
I AM THE WINDRUSHER
Sounds like a Ponzi scheme!
Of course
I'm English and even if I was from the carabeN what fcin difference would that have made
Why is the British Parlament so messy?
That was my parents I come from a winrush family people can claim and get Jamaican passport from generation check it out you got family passed and got land you claim?
Well their not loop
I've always wondered what would've happened if no Carribean immigrants had been allowed to come to the UK in 1948. How would Britains industries have coped with the shortage of manpower?
They would of gotten Indians or Africans 🤨🤨🤨😐
@@Ronin-FBA Or perhaps simply have gotten more European migrants.
There was no shortage of manpower. That’s a myth. After the war the country quickly returned to the mass unemployed we had before. That’s why the British government encouraged people to emigrate to Australia and to a lesser extent Canada.
Business owners encouraged immigration to lower wages. Nothings changed.
At the same time the government were offering native Brits to emigrate to Australia for £10.. ten pound poms.. a strange thing to do if your nation is 'struggling for manpower' ..?
Strange that as my uncles who fought for his country in WW2 said loads of folk were still out of work at this time the influx of these folk was not needed

Psychology of solely objectifying genitalia and isolation level
No caribbean, or Indian, men were ever drafted, unlike British men. There was no conscription in British colonies during WWII.
99IronDuke research the Burma campaign and you'll find out about the Indian soilders.

Many people from the Empire served in WW2.
WTF???
Anxiety? Pay these folks.
I wouldn't mind being deported to the sunny Caribbean Island
They would prefer to leave in acid attack capital London
Doubt you'd want to go to Cuba though.
JJ H Cuba aint the only island
@@Harvester236 Jamaica is worst than Cuba.
Boohoo ooo
theresa may is only sorry to keep her job the windrush people helped build Britain i give my respect love and thanks to them people who helped us .
The Windrush people did no such thing . They were a short term answer and have created a long term sinister problem .
They didn't come to help us anymore than the Poles now or the Irish or indeed Brits going to Australia move to help . why do you believe such Nonsense? People move to help themselves not the hosts , and unlike the other examples I gave on the whole these people,s arrival has been a big negative for Britain
How did they help?
They were not invited .
lol
These people and their ancestors are a credit to the UK
