Have you heard about the Windrush scandal?

It's (probably) not about the NHS but more about "we kicked out so many illegal immigrants last year, aren't we great?" (not that these people are illegal immigrants, but hey, let's make burden of proof tests that are hard for them to pass), but, incredible how seemingly easy it is for the Home Office to be heartless to the point of killing people via red tape.

The burden of proof was hard to pass because the Windrush landing cards were destroyed due to a decision made under a Labour government.
