Windrush: The Trauma Continues

Windrush: The Trauma Continues

Author: Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show February 4, 2023 Duration: 35:33
The government has reneged on three promises it made to post-war migrants from the Caribbean - the so-called Windrush generation named after the first boat from the West Indies to arrive in 1948 when the so called 'Mother Country' was desperate for labour.   Many of these hard working people and their decendants fell foul of the government’s “hostile environment." Some were deported from the country they called home, lost their job, or were even deported.   When the scandal came to light in 2018 the government promised to compensate victims but Home Secretary Suella Braverman has now u-turned on pledges to establish a migrants’ commissioner, increase powers of the independent chief inspector of borders and immigration, and hold reconciliation events.   Adrian Goldberg hears from Glenda Casear and Jacqueline McKenzie, Head of Migration Law at Leigh Day solicitors. Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White.   Funded by subscriptions to the Byline Times.    

Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show is exactly that: a series of conversations driven by the host's curiosity about the people and forces shaping our world. This podcast sits at the intersection of society and culture, exploring the stories behind the headlines and the ideas that often go unexamined. Adrian brings his journalistic background to each discussion, creating a space where guests-from thinkers and writers to everyday people with extraordinary experiences-can speak in depth. The tone is engaging and thoughtful, more like a compelling chat in a quiet pub than a formal interview. You'll hear explorations of politics, community shifts, artistic movements, and the subtle ways our lives are changing. It’s a show built on the premise that good talk can illuminate the bigger picture, one conversation at a time. Listeners find themselves drawn into dialogues that are both timely and timeless, where the focus is on understanding rather than spectacle. Tune in for a podcast that values substance and genuine exchange, where the title truly is the promise.
