The Children Of The Windrush

The Tories' "Hostile Environment" was an exercise in cruelty and spite

Where innocent people were hounded to appease voices of the hard right

The easiest of targets were aimed at, and used as pawns in a sick game

And once they appeared in the crosshairs, their lives would never be the same

The Tories' "Hostile Environment" was all about being seen to act tough

Overstating the threat from "illegals" and saying "enough is enough"

But when pensioners who've lived all their lives here are told they no longer belong

It shouldn't have taken a roomful of geniuses to see what they were doing was wrong

The Tories' "Hostile Environment" was just about political points scored

And in their eagerness to doctor the figures, the true human cost was ignored
