That Clayton Barnes is still not a citizen shows the ongoing cruelty of ‘hostile environment’ | Kenan Malik
Just how long will it take for the lessons of Windrush to be learned? Clayton Barnes came to Britain from Jamaica in 1959. He spent a lifetime in this country, working, paying taxes, raising a family. He was in his mind British, as he was in the eyes of his family, his friends, his colleagues, of anyone who took a rational view of his case.
But not in the eyes of the Home Office.
In 2010, Barnes went to Jamaica to help a friend fix his house and possibly to retire there. Three years later, when he tried to return to see his family in Britain, he was refused entry. Someone who by any reckoning was British was refused entry to his own country on the grounds that he might not “leave the UK”.
