True 'Windrush" is just a label applied to 50,000 people who have been living in fear, all those who came from Commonwealth countries before 1973 when the then (Labour) Government changed the law to keep black people out. Anybody who hasn't held on to various bits of paper they've decided are relevant. (Stuff like tax records, for example, don't count.)

It's not just needing to prove you came before the cut-off date. They demand proof that you haven’t been out of the country for more than two years. Quite how they demand proof of that from people who haven't ever had any reason to get a passport, I can't understand. But then, you aren't supposed to understand.

And after Brexit we can expect to have the same thing happening to people from other EU countries. Yes they might be promised a right to stay, but so were the "Windrush" generation, and their children and grandchildren. Till the Nasty party moved into action.

How many people, any of us, would be able to pass these tests and prove they had been continuously here, in face of officials that work on the assumption people are lying through their teeth?
