No disclosure restriction on Windrush victims

Well as the media debate and pontificate over the possibility of anti-semitism in the Labour Party the government has once again taken another unspeakable decision and is asking victims of the Windrush debacle to sign Non disclosure agreements if they want an early payment. The Home Secretary told a select committee just 3 weeks ago that this wasn't happening, but it seems it is. So a government minister can lie and people who have been treated very badly can be forced to keep silent, or have to wait longer for compensation, and it barely makes the news, whereas discussions within the LP are front page. The possible suffering of some people it seems is more important than the real suffering of others.

It’s all about the rush to blacken Jalima and the eagerness to believe all that fits your own agenda.
There are no doubts expressed by trisher in the OP it was a case of ‘this is happening right now folks!!!!’
Well, it isn’t.
Check properly next time is very good advice.

Possibly only because the Guardian and the Independent picked it up lemon the rush to blacken I must remember that the next time posters present unsupported opinions on someone. As for this government no one needs to rush, they are the gift that keeps on giving as they lurch from one crisis to the next.

It's my opinion that Corbyn et al are lurching from crisis to crisis.

However, that is just my opinion and I cannot substantiate it by a link to The Guardian.

I like Jeremy Corbyn btw - he keeps me amused as he flounders around out of his depth..

An opinion doesn’t have to be supported surely, stating something as fact does.
