The ongoing controversy about the Windrush generation is having continuing echoes. These have been implicit in Home Office policy for years as is hinted at by this letter from MPs. As Amber Rudd has partically acknowledged the system has been designed to deny humanity to the people on the recieveing end but that is not just true about the Windrush generation, but also many DWP claimants, and people dealing with Councils over housing claims. All these people have been subjected to a "hostile environment" policy.
The idea is to make their lives so difficult that they just give up on making claims and is really about budget control.
