    This is grotesque, immoral and inhumane. The government is retrospectively revoking citizenship rights that our government itself granted but failed to record properly decades ago. I will fight against this historic injustice with every bone in my body until this wrong is righted

    I don’t really want an audience that already agrees with me. I’d go so far as to say that I’d be wasting my time if I had one.

    Thread. After WW2 we invited the Windrush Generation over to rebuild our country as citizens. They have worked, raised families, paid their taxes. Done nothing wrong. This inhumane treatment is not who we are as a country and it’s time for the Home Office to put a stop to this.

    Thread: African & Caribbean elders being treated in a disgusting manner by the home office. Many of whom came over with parents and some when they were British citizens. This is a national disgrace.

    So true. Don't burn bridges, even if you feel like it's the right thing to do in the moment!

    If you’re trying to kick out 60 year olds who have been here since they were 10 your immigration policy might just be wanking material for Nigel Farage. Change it.

    A dozen Caribbean High Commissioners have called on the UK government to stop treating elderly citizens as 'illegal immigrants'. The move follows our reports that people who arrived in the UK from the West Indies in the 1960s as children are being threatened with removal.

    Now had contact with DWP's "alternative format" team. After being asked to explain why I needed an electronic version of the PIP form for access reasons as I struggle with pen and paper -- and not just because it is 2018 -- I've been asked to sign a consent form to get the form.

    If any journalists who cover social or disability issues read this: there is definitely a story here. The DWP doesn't let you apply for PIP online or any other electronic way, but supplies a paper form only. For many applicants this forces them to require help to fill it in.

    Just to be clear, I was being sarcastic. I don't think or et al need to be worried in the slightest about Santander's new ability to do same day or next day international money transfers.

    "As well as being faster, the service also shows customers the exact amount that will be received in the destination currency before they make the transfer". WTF AM I MISSING?! I bet and and a million other fx services are shitting bricks right now.

    Dubbed "Santander One Pay FX," it makes it possible for customers to complete international transfers "on the same day in many cases or by the next day".

    Ok, so, Santander have announced a new money transfer service based on Ripple's xCurrent technology (ie it doesn't use Xrp crypto currency before all the altcoin heads get excited).
