Ahsshshdlhh I'm a day late but HAPPY WINDRUSH DAY! In 1948, West Indian immigrants came to the UK on HMT Windrush to help rebuild the UK after WWII. From then, immigrants from many West Indian countries like Jamaica, Barbados, St Lucia, Trinidad etc. came to the UK, but also immigrants from African and South Asian countries too.

Anti-immigrant rhetoric from the British government increased throughout the 1950s-1970s, including increased policing in Wet Indian communities by the Met Police. In 2018 there was the Windrush Scandal, where the British government detained and deported the same Windrush members they invited decades back. The individuals, their families and the community have never been compensated for this. We're still waiting for justice.

The modern UK culture you see now, from the music, the dialects and slang, the food... is heavily influenced by the Windrush. Multicultural London English and Black British Vernacular are blends of Pidgin, Patois, Creole and Arabic. The many shops, stalls and restaurants across London and throughout the country were set up by the immigrants that first arrived and are the reason you can get items from across the globe just around the corner. The UK's ska and rock and roll age was birthed from reggae and rude boys. Learn about the Windrush. Celebrate them. And fight for them!
