Again having to sign a petition to support those impacted by #HostileEnvironment & Government failures over #Windrush. Huge credit to @ppvernon for his campaigning energy & zeal on this issue, but it shouldn't be necessary & a better Labour Govt would match rhetoric with action.
This is my third petition against the government this year on Windrush. We need a debate in Parliament to prevent govt creating a poundshop compensation scheme for Windrush victims.

One of reasons until recently that public now under understand &appreciate the #Windrushgeneration story is that it's not in the national curriculum & also there is no investment or support in black scholarships mediadiversified.org/2016/03… @bcaheritage @WritersofColour @DavidLammy

Thank goodness that the The Civic and Historical Society of Wolverhampton have rejected plans for a blue plaque for Enoch Powell. This is gives a clear message as a society we should not promote or tolerate racism and hate crime expressandstar.com/news/poli…

After attending the botched inquest of the late Dexter Bristol I will be making a formal complaint to judicialconduct.judiciary.go… regarding the conduct& behaviour of the coroner Mr Dillon towards @_umm_ & Mrs Bristol. The coroner judgmental attitude is part of hostile environment – at Berlin, Germany
Windrush Day retweeted
The coroner gives a verdict in less than an hour that Dexter died of natural causes related to stress but rules out any link to hostile environment. We need a fresh hearing. No justice No Peace – at Camden Town, London
We have now closed the @gofundme Dexter Bristol Funeral Fund. Please find message from Mrs Bristol expressing our gratitude to the public. Her focus is now on the inquest to find the truth that her son's death was linked to hostile immigration environment gofundme.com/dexter-bristol-…
