The U.K. Scandal That Betrayed Its Own 

Have you been to the UK? Very few people go back. Most people enjoy the rights and privilege of the first world. Sorry to let the facts challenge your prejudice.

Isn't this exactly what the UAE has done?

@@IvanAkinfiev The gulf wasnt an empire. They didn't commit the atrocities that the British empire committed. Irrelevant to compare this because migrants come to the gulf being aware about immigration laws.

@@narendra62 I'm English, people stay here because we have a strong currency, which is dependant on exploiting the resources, coffee to crystals, of other places/people. We are not morally or academically superior in any way. England is going to be in for a big shock when they realize how hard the rest of the world has been working... many in India & Africa are far better educated than us. We are slowly loosing our importance and I am glad. We don't deserve any privileges. Everyone should be payed for their skill relative to time not location. We should appreciate our privilege & realize this country is balanced on the backs of other.

@@roryboyes2307 man shut up, tired of apologists like you

Yep definitely a given but not a forgiven.

Yes I agree

I thought it's my TV...

I think the frames need analysised

Immigration is not a human right but a privilege, understand it and get on with it. Asian countries are far more racist and anti-immigrant. Why not directing your anger against them?

@@Platypus882 Because you don't improve your own country by pointing out what's wrong with others, racist. :)

@@manuq9827 the problem is that ppl are immigrating to UK from far more racist countries and they bring the racist culture with them. Its simply a hypocricy to blame UK for racism when this happens. Btw Im not racist I stand for open borders for Israel :)))

I blame the EU for this because 2012

which is the issue as they did not require documentation to come to the UK from the empire at that time. so now there is no UK birth certificate and no immigration documents of them moving to the UK.

people did came from other colonies like pakistan , india then uk banned it & imposed restrictions . many are still illegal .

@@Q_QQ_Q There is no documentation Or documentation got destroyed Thus majority of immigrants of any sort is on a whim of current government If they want they just kick people born and living in UK on a whim

@@Beanbeeb yea she's talking according to current status of thise countries

@@graveperil2169 Not only did they not require documentation but according to the British Nationality Act 1948 anyone born in the United Kingdom and the British Colonies was a British subject. All one had to do was move and receive a landed status. Even as the Colonies started to be granted independence in the late '60s & early 70s persons that had moved to the UK from these territories before 1973 were granted an automatic right to permanently remain once they did not live outside the UK for more than 2 consecutive years. This was reinforced in the 1999 Act but was not carried forward in the 2014 Act because the Home Office & Government said these persons were protected adequately in the 1973 Act. When the 2012 hostile environment policy, started the only legal documentation of original entry for many would have been their landing cards, which the Home Office decided to destroy. The Home Office made it more expensive and difficult for them to normalise their status. Persons had passports confiscated, denied reentry, blocked persons from benefits, deport or threaten persons with deportation. Two things to note (1) The Home Office was warned in 2009/2010 of the problems destroying the Landing Cards would cause as they were used to verify dates of arrival in immigration cases. 2) The Home Office was warned from as early as 2013 that the 2012 hostile environment policy was impacting Windrush generation residents. Older Caribbean born persons were being targeted and they were being treated as illegal immigrants. The UK government and Home Office refused to discuss and acknowledge the issue untill 2018. I could go on.

3.7 sec When the motherland needed labour put out a cry for workers. That is a bear face lie we never asked them to come over here the government didn’t want them over here and tried to have the ship redirected to Africa. The indigenous population were livid that they were coming over here. For most people at the time the scandal was allowing them to set foot on the shores Britain. Now everybody in the country has to put up with a continuous moaning morning noon and night. They keep moaning about us why don’t they emigrate to black countries in Africa with their brothers. Because However hard we try to please them we will never ever succeed. Let’s put it this way it’s been 75 years and they’re still moaning well they’re still moaning about slavery and that was over 200 years a go.

1. they weren't invited and in fact were told not to come. 2. show me ONE picture of a windrush person with a hammer in their hand rebuilding the UK. Just one. I'll wait.

Is Palestine for palestinians? I guess you could argue that once people integrate properly, it wont even be a big deal, but at what point is mass immigration changing a country too fast? And are people even fine with it?

The situation can be resolved but will only meet friction as long as you jump on the black victimhood mindset being pushed by leftists and the media. The only systemic racism i see in the west is the “woke” movement the when it dies and people get back to taking responsibility for their actions the better off we will be.

@@clarkkent4683 wow, its rare to see someone so committed to racist and ignorant thinking, that's some commitment to ignorance you've got. You can attempt to twist the facts and pretend you live in opposite land all you want but facts are as they are and no amount of pretending and refusing to acknowledge what those who endure and are the recipients of racism say won't make you correct....it just proves the point they make. Anyone so foolish and lacking in integrity and honor as to attempt to demonize a concept that, at its core, is about being a responsible and intelligent member of a diverse society that chooses to support that diversity and oppose those who refuse to accept differences is someone who only highlights their own lack of worth and right to respect.

@david glencross well guess if England didn’t go around the world colonising left and right there wouldn’t be post colonialism migration 😅

Windrush were never invited. They were told to stay put and they came anyway. That's called illegal immigration. Us Brits quite like our own culture and down want this multiple culture thing you speak of.

Empire Windrush that raise alarm Whitehall bells because there were more than 1,020 passengers on board, and the Labour Government took action to dissuade others who were planning to move to the motherland.

They didn't apply. Unlike many who come today to game the system.

@@squirrel6338 They didn't have to apply. They were BRITISH CITIZENS from a British colony. All citizens of every colony we ever had were BRITISH. The government had records of all these people who made their passage to Britain, but choose to destroy them. However there is still in the public domain, National Insurance histories, Income Tax records, census returns, schooling records, land registry records etc. to show how long some of these people have been here.

@@georgegeorge4921 If they paid National Insurance, that is a proof of that they worked here legally. If the record shows that they did that for over 5 years, they are eligible for citizenship. These are the current rules, as far as I know.

also who exactly do you want to blame for this. yeah, the hostile environment showed the problem this person had since before, they never had documentation showing their status ever, so you could blame any or all the governments since the 60s. ofc these people deserve real compensation and not just 22k for 10 years of unfair treatment and being treated like criminals.

So the UK provided you with a job, and that's the thanks you give.

You don’t have the right to live wherever you want. This is different from your situation because they were actually acknowledged as British citizens. You have never been one. Brits In the EU now have to get visas, should the EU be punished for that? You’re an idiot.

The empire is dead.

lol. in the US and canada, if you just born here you automatically get citizenship.

White people didn't have to apply for citizenship. If your born in the UK, why do you need to apply for citizenship?

They were commonwealth citizens when they came to the UK.

@@xmlthegreat I understand that they feel that way. What I don't understand is why they think the English will just welcome them with open arms, when history had shown the English never even considered them as full human entities for generations...

Ofcourse there is. It's all about money. They want more compensation and give a victim story with BLM entitlements. Because slavery, yo.

@@agaragar21 💯💯💯

At least you're honest

I find you silly !!!

Brits are generally more sociable than other Europeans. Just because small talk with strangers isn't normal doesn't mean the people are cold.

Practically. If you look at the history of racism in the British Isles, it was the case that people of Irish descent weren't considered White in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. That was a hangover from the English Reformation and the colonisation of Catholic Ireland by the English and the consequences of that with the Irish Potato Famine, and the prejudice against Irish migrants - the Navvies - who came to Britain to build their roads, and railways and canals. As many were Catholics they were excluded by laws from a lot of professions, and it wasn't until the late 19th century that those laws were abolished. Centuries of that struggle are still at play in Northern Ireland. The English first tried to colonise Ireland in 1192, and here we are now still needing to refer to it, as another living example of the consequences of state-sponsored racism. Ignorance and Knowledge are two sides of the same coin. When the State wants you to forget or ignore something about the past be very careful, as you might be likely to be short-changed in the present by the powerful.

@@BigHenFor yeah I was aware of most of that and my grandparents did have to deal with racism, particularly being called terrorists, but they never had any recent threat to their citizenship here and the only difference between them and the people in the video is skin colour

​@@BigHenFor You seem a little too biased toward the English. "colonisation of Catholic Ireland by the English" I thought a lot of the Northern Irish were descended from the Scottish ? If you go further back in history you'll find that the Scottish themselves were invaders who wiped out the existing tribes and cultures there. If colonisation is state sponsored racism, would you agree the Norman's, Romans, Celtic tribes, were racist too ?

@@SerBallister yep, Norse were literally war criminals. So were the huns and the goths and so on and so forth. If you can produce Genghis Khan in a court I'd love to prosecute him for war crimes. In the meanwhile, let's make sure those who are still suffering now get their reprieve. Then we can embark on your fantasy of punishing dead cultures, you simpleton.

Those born before 1997 in Hong Kong are British nationals.

@@BasedApricot they don’t need to apply? I don’t think so....there are lots of very poor old hongkongers in HK couldn’t afford a place to live and lived in a ‘cage’...if they were British citizens why don’t they just come to the UK and get the benefits? (HK had low tax and poorer social network)

Wrt Hong Kong the UK is doing the right thing (whereas with the Windrush people it didn't do the right thing).

Please elaborate. 😄

not true at all. African UK immigrates are wealthier and more educated than Caribbean immigrants. Because they are often given a path to citizenship through economic migration and skilled workers compared to caribbean immigrants who came to the U.K for unskilled migration in the 1970s

Indians are the wealthiest ethnic minority in the UK. By far.

@Nova Flares The UK is extremely tolerant and so are the people. Causal racism is low unlike france spain italy etc. Our standards are usually a lot higher and we get judged on those. I can live with that.

@plentyness Fact is european never paid back what they have stoled. All the loss and wealth they stole need to be paid back with interest don't you think? I mean stealing wasn't legal even in 1600.

@@user-zr8wz5lt5y you can't argue bigotry out of people even when they gain from not being bigots

@plentyness If a country burned down a village enslaved the villagers, do the villagers and their descendants have no right to be angry at that country just because “everyone else did it?” Substitute literally any crime instead of burning homes and enslaving people and it’ll become clear how weak your argument is. The way to deal with thorny issues such as those is to acknowledge that while they were acceptable then, they are wrong now and you apologize and try to mitigate any issues. What you don’t do is throw your hands in the air, say “I was just following the bandwagon, sorry not sorry, that’s how it was, tough and you should leave.” What an amazingly fantastic way to keep cultural disunity alive by being so incredibly callous.

A work visa is not the same as citizenship... unfortunately. Also, just about *every* country in Europe at one point was the strongest of them all and Turkey was once part of the most powerful empire in the area mostly up until WW1. The video is about *50* years(5 times the time) of being in the U.K. over multiple generations, policies changing without new documentation to separate the old from potential new citizens, and total loss of income over a decade with inadequate backpay of the U.K.'s basic social benefits for that time. Not the same.

Yeah, but you take your wins wherever you can. Capitalism isn't going to be destroyed, or even reformed in 5 minutes, is it?

@@BigHenFor It's not about capitalism. It's about greed and racism. Also Capitalism isn't intrinsically Democratic when you give Mega-corporations power to govern. Just look at China. The entire CCP is one big Mega-corporation.

@@khanch.6807 Tru. Whether we should use capitalism or not isnt even a question. Real issue is, what level of decentralization do we want in our country? What should be decentralized. US likes decentralization as it takes away power from corporations and puts it more towards people. Its usually inefficient, but its much harder to corrupt. e.g. the internet network that the US created and was adopted by the entire world. Other countries like Japan and most of europe dont like decentralization, and would much rather have megacorporations be the flagship of their economy. e.g. VW and Toyota, or even samsung and LG.

@TREVELL N. they have documents and at then not even that mattters, europeans don't have any documentation to prove their citizen status, it will happen again.

Yup, this is what Institutional racism/systemic racism looks like
