I'm so horrified beyond words by what is happening - and the fact that May only started grovelling once it became clear she couldn't ignore this. And the idea that this is some sort of 'honest mistake, guv' - how can anyone fall for that? There was a policy in place to target the Windrush and SOMEONE has to admit that and SOMEONE (or someones) HAS to take the fall for it, surely?!
I used to work in an employment law team and I remember an immigration lawyer coming into the kitchen really sad one day - he explained the Home Office had become somewhere he couldn't understand anymore and made doing his job impossible. He was working on a case of a severely disabled woman who was being told she HAD to go back to her home country (Canada) to renew her visa. When he explained she couldn't fly as she was now severely disabled, the home office said she could get on a boat. Omgwtf. I can't even with these people - it's like droids have taken over government honestly (May is definitely a droid although that's mean to droids).
I know this may sound trite but I honestly don't know what's going on with this country at the moment.
