Despair As Frantic Efforts To Link Boris Johnson To Windrush Reveal Nothing
2018-04-17
There was despair and disappointment last night, after a determined effort to place Boris Johnson in the Windrush generation, failed to bear fruit.
Between 1948 and 1971, thousand sof people came into the UK from the Caribbean, with the governments blessing, in response to the labour shortage. The first group came on the MV Empire Windrush. Many of the children were able to travel on their parents’ passports but were never issued with official documentation of their own on arrival in the UK. It means that thousands of people who have lived in the UK for over 50 years are technically in the country illegally and not eligible to live or work here. They face potential deportation.
The outcry from both public and political activists has been understandable but resolve to find a solution has been put to the test. Rumours that Foreign Secretary Johnson’s father Stanley, arrived here from Antigua with little Boris, before settling in Brixton and finding work as a bus conductor, have raised hopes of getting rid of the bumbling twat. But those hopes have been thwarted for now.
“I think it was a bit of wishful thinking to be honest.” said Dick Tracey who headed up the investigation team. “There was a Stanley Johnson, with a son called Boris but it was a completely different bloke. Shame because I think they’d already got his P45 and deportation papers made out.”
As the Bugle went to press, the investigation team were understood to be looking into the altogether more plausible possibility, that Mr Johnson’s family entered the country illegally during the last Viking invasion of 1066.
