93. Too little, too late

“Sitting in Limbo” was broadcast on BBC 1 on June 8

The Windrush facts are clear. Home Office staff
(with quotas for removal)  found this queue
of vulnerable blacks - “low-hanging fruit” -
the sort of target nobody would miss.
They lost their jobs, their homes, were locked away
and put on planes. Thirteen of them have died.
Apologies were made. Money’s still due.

And now the BBC will screen a play
about Anthony Bryan. One week to go:
Home Office on the phone. You have to laugh.
They’re offering compensation. Maybe this
could be a video call? How would it suit
for him to talk to Priti Patel, who’s lied,
delayed, made no amends? The answer’s no.
