Victims of the Windrush scandal have little time for complaints about bullying at the Home Office

Asked to explain why so many people had, like Vanriel, been so horrifically and unfairly affected by the tightening immigration legislation, he said he didn’t know. His conclusion felt remarkably casual: “I think probably that people’s minds were elsewhere.” He didn’t reflect on why that was – leaving us to assume that their minds were elsewhere because those affected were a largely voiceless, often marginalised group of elderly black people, whom officials found it easy to ignore.

''Theresa May has expressed regret for using the term “hostile environment” and has criticised Home Office staff for an “inbuilt cynicism” she believes contributed to the Windrush scandal.

May devotes a chapter to the scandal, which unfolded while she was prime minister, in her forthcoming memoir, The Abuse of Power. She concludes that it was an abuse of power and describes the treatment of the Windrush generation who were wrongly classified as illegal immigrants as “shocking”.

The Conservative MP says she is “profoundly sorry”, but in her 14-page analysis of what caused this abuse of power she seeks to spread responsibility, attributing the problem to the failures of “successive governments”.

May blames Clement Attlee, the Labour prime minister between 1945 and 1951, for failing to give Windrush arrivals paperwork to show their right to be in the UK, and notes that Labour politicians created the concept of the hostile environment in the decade before she became home secretary in 2010''
