Publisher's Synopsis
On June 22nd 1948, a former German cruise ship, the Empire Windrush, steamed up the Thames to the Tilbury Dock, London, where she disembarked some 500 hopeful settlers from Kingston, Jamaica...
More recently we've all been hearing the shocking stories in the news about our government's dreadful treatment of the "Windrush Generation", those British citzens who arrived in the UK from the Caribbean to make a new life for themselves. Linked by commentators to the Home Office hostile environment policy instituted by British Prime Minister Teresa May during her time as Home Secretary, the scandal led to the resignation in 2018 of Amber Rudd as Home Secretary, and the appointment of Sajid Javid.
SPECIFICATIONS: Half Panama unbleached cotton (heavy weight, textured finish). Stitched on all four sides. Includes hanging loop. Measures approximately 48cm x 70cm. Machine wash at 40 degrees max.
