UK Urged to Realize ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Doesn't Mean Automatic Deportation

KEY POINTS

  • Rev Clive Foster urged immediate action in late 2025 to aid UK residents hurt by wrongful immigration classifications.
  • The call came during a people’s inquiry symposium that spotlighted ongoing injustices linked to the Windrush scandal.
  • Concerns rose that a potential Reform government may delay justice efforts, risking more victims dying without redress.

In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera cliffhanger, Windrush commissioner Rev Clive Foster warned on the sidelines of a people's inquiry symposium that British residents wrongly slapped with ‘illegal immigrant’ labels urgently need justice – and fast, because victims keep dying before getting a fix. The drama unfolds well after the scandal first blew up, with fears now swirling that a new Reform government might stall any progress like a dodgy DJ skipping tracks on justice. Foster’s dramatic call to action in 2025-2026 highlights Britain’s knack for turning red tape into red faces.
