Human rights are laws that look after all of us. They uphold important values such as truth, fairness and equality. For example, it is a human right to have a nationality, an identity and a home.
Leonard’s story is partly about what it means to be British. If you identify as British, it’s about how you feel about the UK. But being a British citizen is something that is controlled by the law. Leonard was British by law when he was born in 1947 and also when he was brought to the UK in 1958. But by 2018, the law had changed and the UK no longer saw him as British.
Leonard was one of thousands who came to the UK from the Commonwealth after World War Two. They were all British by law, so they were all free to come and stay in the UK. Many were encouraged to come. They were needed to help rebuild a country shattered by war. They took up jobs in the NHS, the Royal Mail, in public transport, the armed forces and more.
Not everyone was made welcome. Many Black and Asian people suffered discrimination and violence because of their skin colour. That is racism. In the 1960s and 1970s, the government made laws to try and restrict the number of Black and Asian people coming to the UK. The rights of British people were made unequal, so that some (mainly white) British people remained free to live in the UK and some (mainly Black and Asian) British people were not.

In 1981 Parliament passed the British Nationality Act, a new law that took away the British nationality of thousands of people, including people like Leonard who had made the UK their home. Since 1 January 1983, people connected to the UK under British law are called British citizens. Some are automatically citizens. Others have to apply to register their citizenship. Leonard did not automatically become a British citizen because, like many thousands of others he didn’t know the law had changed or that he needed to do anything about it. The deadline passed. Even people who did know didn’t necessarily register. The Home Office told many of them there was no need and that it would not make a difference to their rights.
But it did make a difference. It meant they were regarded as guests who needed permission to be in the UK. This permission could be taken away at any time.
Many Black and Asian British people lost their citizenship and were treated as if they had no right to be in the UK. Some were forced to leave the country. The situation became known as the Windrush Scandal.

A) How were people in the Windrush Generation treated unfairly?
Reveal Explainer
This suggests that many people from the Windrush Generation were treated unkindly or unfairly when they arrived in Britain. Despite being British citizens and being encouraged to help rebuild Britain after WWII, many faced racism, discrimination and exclusion because of their skin colour instead of being welcomed.
