Keir Starmer: time to thank the Windrush generation for rebuilding Britain by Keir_Starmer UKLabour Windrush75
75 YEARS ago HMT Empire Windrush brought 500 passengers from the Caribbean to Britain, beginning a new chapter in our country’s history.As we look back on 75 years, we should be proud of the way that generation became integral parts of the society we live in today.
Take our health service. The newly-created NHS could not meet the health needs of the population without the Caribbean and South Asian nurses. We owe the continuation of our much-loved NHS to the dedication and hard work of the doctors, nurses, matrons and assistants who came after them. Take sport. From boxers to footballers, the legacy of those arriving in Tilbury in 1948 is rich. England’s first black footballer, Viv Anderson’s parents arrived during Windrush.
Alongside the government’s repeated failure to treat them and their families with respect and dignity, we take their contributions for granted. It’s why the tireless work by campaigners like Patrick Vernon and others is so vital.
