*** Windrush.

[anotheoldgit]

Somehow I don't think some of us will be celebrating Windrush Day.

[THECORBYLOON]

You'll not be missed so don't be worrying about it.

[jno]

you aren't celebrating Enoch Powell's achievement, aog?

[david small]

England my England wherefore art thou England.

[andres]

^^^^Had we paid more attention to Enoch Powell we might not be in the mess we are in today.

[jno]

Andres, Enoch was the health minister who first canvassed in the Caribbean for staff to work in the NHS. But if you've got yourself in a mess, don't blame him.

[andres]

He was also responsible for the 'rivers of blood' speech which is what I was referring to. ^^^

[david small]

For rivers of blood, read, curry, and kebabs. Diversity is a wondrous thing thrust upon us by those who knew better than we did.

[jno]

david small, the British invaded India and brought back curries. Perhaps you'll be more careful about who you invade next time.

[david small]

I’m very familiar with Indian history jno. Invasion is a misnomer, trade expansion was the beginning of our exploitation of the sub continent.

[jno]

it starts with trading and it ends with massacres, the British way. And the worst Indians do in return is cook them curries.

[goodgoalie]

david small - 'wherefore' means 'why' NOT 'where'. Do keep up

[david small]

Yes, but you know what I meant.

[10ClarionSt]

Happy? Windrush? Is that meant to be some sort of irony, or a joke?
