The Windrush Act is an act of restitution

 Since 1948 the citizenship of those who arrived on the Windrush, and that of their descendants, has been repeatedly eroded, particularly by the 1971 Immigration Act and by the current “hostile environment”. This erosion leaves many within this Afro-Caribbean cohort finding themselves British in all but name, and therefore having to prove their Britishness when it was Britain that eroded and undermined their Britishness in the first place. The Windrush Act fully restores the Britishness of this cohort.
