Tory racism: They denied NHS treatment to Windrush citizens – but don’t even know how many
While fabricated claims of racism and anti-Semitism are thrown at the Labour Party in the news every day, it is easy to forget that the Conservative Party – the party that runs the UK’s government – is demonstrably guilty of racism.
The latest revelation is that the victims of Conservative racism who were involved in the Windrush scandal were denied access to services, including some who were refused treatment by the National Health Service.
This is treatment these people will have funded with their taxes.
And Tory Home Secretary Sajid Javid doesn’t even know how many of them have been treated in this despicable way.

And instead of forcing the government to account for itself (the above example excepted), our news media demands that we look the other way – to a Labour Party that has far less for which to answer, no matter what Chuka Umunna and Trevor Phillips have been saying (for details, see here).
I have literally spent all of life fighting racism. And today is a sad day @UKLabour is NOT institutionally racist. If it was I would go. @ChukaUmunna & Trevor Phillips interventions are disappointing. Windrush, hostile environment that's a clear example of a racist institution.

How long until the Tory government provides answers on this latest development in the ongoing Windrush scandal?
I don’t know. They are probably ignoring it and hoping it will go away.

If the trusts didn’t keep stats of how many if any windrush citizens were denied care no one can know.
They don’t know and they don’t care. If only people would realise the nasty Tory Party is where the real racism lies.
Not only do they not know, but they don’t care.
