Some Tories will not be worried about Windrush scandal at all.

Senior Tories have rallied around Amber Rudd, amid criticism for her failure to know specific migrant removal targets.

The home secretary said she had not seen a memo leaked to the Guardian suggesting she knew of the objectives.
Justice Secretary David Gauke said Ms Rudd "made a mistake but didn't knowingly mislead" while Environment Secretary Michael Gove pointed to the vast sum of emails ministers receive.

But shadow home secretary Diane Abbott continued to call for Ms Rudd to quit.

"I am just surprised that she doesn't seem to take the issue seriously enough to offer her resignation," she told Radio 4's Today programme.

Ms Abbott said it was the decision to set a numerical target for removing illegal immigrants that contributed to problems faced by the Windrush generation, where Commonwealth citizens, who came to Britain in the decades after World War Two were wrongly targeted.

"The danger is that very broad target put pressure on Home Office offcials to bundle Jamaican grandmothers into detention centres," she said.

But of course the government  have tried to  deny the argument that there were targets or that  ifthere were  they did not make them or were unaware of them.

3/4 I didn't see the leaked document, although it was copied to my office as many documents are.

The whole  "I didn't  order expulsion targets" seems to  resemble a Mitchell and Webb sketch

Some of the Windrush generation have been threatened with deportation, lost their jobs or been refused access to medical treatment.

Their plight has sparked a storm of criticism for the government, with Prime Minister Theresa May apologising for their treatment.



Though the Tories of course may even be coming to the opinion that the whole disgusting mess may not have much effect on their core vote


 


Even more disturbing is that it seems a quarter  are so prepared to follow the immigration rhetoric of the Media, Tories and yes previous Labour governments that they beleive this,


 Indeed I suspect that there are a number of Tories and their supporters who may be so racist that they see no problem with a policy of expelling all nonwhite immigrants.

Also thee fact that this saga has developed into whether the Minister lied is becoming a distraction from an immigration policy that was embraced by Mrs May when  she was in the Home Office  and which Labour joined in






The appalling  immigration legislation the then PM David Cameron  and his Home Secretary one Theresa May would pushed forward saw most of Labour either abstaining or voting for ir.

Note that all three Plaid Cymru, and the one Green MP all voted against the bill. Five of the six SNP representatives voted against it. Just six MPs from the Labour left voted against it (three of whom are now the leader, shadow Home Secretary, and Shadow Chancellor), and just three of the 57 Lib-Dems voted against it (one who resigned in disgust in 2015 and two who lost their seats in the furious public backlash against their party's collusion with the Tories at the 2015 General Election). Not a single Tory MP voted against it.
 Jeremy Corbyn should be given credit for his opposition but he is still surrounded   by MP who were cheerleader for a racist bill . which has led to people who have lived year all their lives that they are not welcome.
