Yes, this was my understanding of the situation.
I hope my response to your post yesterday on this subject wasn't objectionable to you; it wasn't my intention when I wrote it.

Good-morning, everyone

Yes, I took great exception to it and went off in a huff...

Excellent

The fees for each stage of UK settlement have increased significantly

Whoops...there's that reverse gear being applied...

Child born outside the UK to at least one British citizen is a British citizen
Prove it
Here
Evidence not robust - no proof of British citizenship. You must satisfactorily prove you are a British citizen.
I'm rather devastated by your response above at the moment...
You must satisfactorily prove you are a British citizen
My parent(s) are British citizens
You must satisfactorily prove you are a British citizen

Now watch senior civil servants at the Home Office being pushed under a bus with politicians in charge saying "Hey, don't blame us we're not responsible!"

Who runs Britain?

The Guardian has been on the Windrush case for some time. Response from our beloved leaders. Ignore.


A petition is signed by (currently) 130000 ordinary citizens Response.Lets have a debate because we have to.Then ignore.

The Sun/Mail pick up on the story today. Response. [b][i] Panic!

Dont tell me this is not a government run by a servants on behalf of a few tax avoiders who cant stand to live in this benighted country of ours!

Edited to add petition comments.

Does anyone actually believe "in error"?

I don't.

Only "through sheer incompetence" will really do as an alternative to the more obvious racism.

No
People denied their rights as British citizens is horrifying
Any government changing rights, privileges and/or obligations retroactively violates a trust, throws rule of law right the hell out the window
You'll never know until you're informed of changes
Unacceptable

Mr. Speaker isn't called a Tory. He's in the Speaker party.

The Home Office itself should be duty-bound to "find" this evidence and then share it with those affected (for their own retention and reference, in case it should be needed in future). Of course, if people want assistance in finding evidence for themselves (in the unikely event of their not trusting the Home Office) then - fine.

And why, if this "evidence" is so freely available, hasn't the Home Office done this already? Lack of will being the obvious answer.

I thought that David Lammy was excellent!

Brass neck anyone?

Yes - I've been wondering about that, but didn't wish to appear foolish and\or ignorant. ("Too late!" I hear you all chorus.)

And the next one please...



I mean c'mon - it's not like he was at Theresa May's side at the Home office for years and then in No 10 is it? Oh...wait..

So he is a CONSPIRACY THEORIST as well, then??

I admire Tories for one single thing
Publicly staying together
It's essential for maintaining leadership given the current party system in the UK

This is from 2014.

Watching the statement and ensuing discussion was profoundly depressing. The level of exchanges was almost uniformly low. Tories pretended it was Corbyn the HoC should be discussing and he was an enemy of the UK anyway; the usual Labour suspects continued to oppose their leader rather than the government. Only the SNP introduced serious points for consideration.

May of course did not answer any of the substantial questions but lapped up the sycophancy while colluding with Tory pretense that Corbyn was somehow the villain here. The Syrians didn’t get much of a look in.

A despicable performance all round.

Totally agree. I never thought I could ever hate the tories, and the ideas they represent, as much as I did in the 80s, but they are driving me crazy now. In fact I am nearly at the stage where maybe Thatcher wasn’t so bad after all.
—————————————
Oh dear, I had the same thought about Thatcher !

Help ?

Thatcher really *was* as bad a lot of the time, its just that the passage of time has dulled the pain somewhat.

Dearie me, Hannan really is an unpleasant little man isn't he?

Andrew Cooper's response pretty much sums him up.
