British govt: papers please

So far the evidence is that the first certain person was right and the certain other person was wrong. It is worth remembering that the Windrush scandal actions pre-date the referendum and far both parties of government (many of the scandals to come to light date between 97-2010) but now everyone is trying to improve things.

So, the articles about the people not getting treated, losing their homes and such are from ten years ago and they just printed them again, because...?

No the law change to require proof of right to work in the UK was 12 years ago in 2006. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_Work_Law_UK

Those who've lost their job because they don't have proof of right to work are victims of the 2006 law which didn't provide exemptions for Windrush.

Right. So it didn't occur to the Maybot that they might change that law? Instead of ruthlessly enforcing it? This stuff didn't happen 12 years ago. It happened right NOW.

I mean, aren't you the one always going on about: "But we don't have to feel bound to decisions by a previous government!"? You said that: If we don't like it we'll change it.

And, now all of a sudden, this law from 12 years ago forced your hand? What? Suddenly you're bound to the law, no sir, cannot do anything about that?

When in fact the Maybot just announced that they actually will do something about that? After it blew up in her face, of course, not before.

This does not make an iota of sense.
