• WHEN my grandparents came to this country they were answering the call to help rebuild it after the war.

They faced racism and isolation when they arrived but they made Britain home and stayed to work hard in order to give their children a better life and help Mother England as much as they could.

The Windrush generation, many of whom like my mother came to Britain as children, are British citizens and should be treated as such. That large numbers of them now face uncertain immigration status is disgusting.

Amber Rudd and the home office must admit how many people were “deported in error” and outline steps to solve the current situation that is leading to a lot of uncertainty and worry in the Caribbean community.

There is a significant, too often under-recognised Afro-Caribbean population in Camden that I consider myself lucky to have grown up among.

The government’s actions towards the Windrush generation runs counter to the open and welcoming spirit of Camden as a borough, and shames us as a country.
