Clive was born and raised in Bolton, Greater Manchester, but was the son of Windrush generation parents, who moved to the UK with his older siblings
Clive Myrie has spoken of how the Windrush scandal hit his family as he called the Home Office policy an “utter disgrace”.
The BBC Mastermind presenter said Lionel was still awaiting both compensation and a British passport. “I’m still hoping society understands what happened and tries to rectify it. You know, these people need restitution and that hasn’t happened yet – even though we all agree that something needs to be done.”
In 2017, it began to emerge that hundreds of Commonwealth citizens, many of whom were from the Windrush generation, had been wrongly detained, deported and denied legal rights. In July, a Home Office spokesperson said “our determination to right the wrongs of the Windrush scandal remains as strong as ever” and the Government department added it is committed to “robust and proportionate policies”.
He also said: “ has to get it right in terms of public mood and opinion, because it’s paid for by everybody through the licence fee and if it doesn’t get the mood right, it’s finished.”
