Thanks for this insight. This does feel like the start of windrush again, but with the hot politics of immigration thrown into the mix. I wonder if people coming over feel that it’s worth it in the longer term in comparison to the state of the country they are leaving. This was the case, or the attraction, for my parents leaving Jamaica in the sixties. It also feels like care workers should be unionised to ensure better worker rights.
Thank you brother. Hopefully as the reality of the situation here is publicised more back home, more people will choose to stay there and try and improve things. And absolutely these workers should unionise, although it wouldn't surprise me if many of them might be worried that joining a union might jeapordise their status.
