Unlike the Post Office scandal and Infected Blood schemes, the Windrush Compensation scheme doesn't provide funded legal advice.
Why the disparity?
It's a disgrace that Windrush victims continue to deal with such blatant racism.
Ex-paint maker Vanderbilt lost his job & the house he owned due to the Windrush scandal. His wife Hetticia still remembers the day they moved out with their 3 young children. This is now their 5th year of fighting for compensation from the Home Office scheme
โI cried. I cried.โ
A former paint maker who lost his 12-year career due to the Windrush scandal & lost his home as a result says after half a decade of fighting for compensation he has been awarded ยฃ1,147 for loss of employment by the Home Office scheme.
This is why I ve lil respect for certain types of Black Conservatives, they never keep dsame energy. When black Kids were falling behind Sewell blamed Single Parent households & Culture, Now he blames the State for WW kids failing. He abandons his โpersonal responsibilityโ ethos
'I was told by a midwife to shut up.'
Sky News speaks to three different black mothers, who gave birth in three different hospitals, as they say maternity services failed them.

"We can't pay doctors because then we would have to pay everyone else."
That's exactly what needs to happen.
The Cost of Living in the UK has raced from near the bottom in the Europe to right at the top.
While wages have fallen from near the top, to the middle.
Today, Iโm pleased to announce the launch of https://t.co/DLpVpnsuOv, the Government of Jamaicaโs official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.
The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts.
Please remember, if it doesnโt end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website.

It's very telling when the people who want you to "support Black owned" projects are quick to be dismissive and patronising towards the Black ppl they feel entitled to get support from.
"They don't even understand what's going on" okay well then explaining the process is evidently an important aspect of the marketing. Bring ppl on the journey.
Building relationships with the customer base should be valued imo. Supporting Black goes both ways! Respect, value and hold Black customers in high regard.
Happy Carnival Monday! ๐๐๐

Gather round for Spark Notes lesson on Notting Hill Carnival.
NHC is unlike other carnivals. Its roots lie as Claudia Jones' community effort to ease racial tension against densely West Indian populated areas (Notting Hill/Brixton) in the 50s after the murder of Kelso Cochrane.

Every time someone does "it's not that deep," it's a little stab at the fight we are having to put up against the powers that be, to keep our culture.
So yes, it is that deep.
We will continue to fight for our culture. Either stand beside in allyship or stand aside silently.
