Myrie said that his relatives were unable to access healthcare and benefits because the Government claimed there was insufficient evidence they were British
an “utter disgrace”, as he detailed how the heavily criticised “hostile environment” policy tore apart his family.
They had entered the country on Jamaican passports at a time when they were entitled to automatic British citizenship, but in the years since the Government had destroyed the landing card slips – an issue faced by many Windrush families. Peter, who had terminal prostate cancer, wanted to take his daughter on a trip to visit Jamaica before his death – but without a British passport, he could not go because he would not have been permitted to return.– the question is: what do you do about it?” Myrie told“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.
