- Prince William has paid tribute to the Windrush generation at the unveiling of a new statue to commemorate those who came to England from the Caribbean after the late 1940s.
The Duke of Cambridge said "every part of British life is better" because of the Windrush generation, but also acknowledged the future "they sought and deserved has yet to come to pass".

They was glad to come here. I feel more for our soldiers who fought and died for our country and never got the chance to live in the country they fought for.
The upper classes are so clueless, but then again they don't have to live in their crime ridden communities.
This is the modern day narrative that we are all supposed to buy into; that the Windrush brought all these selfless people who just wanted to help Britain rebuild itself after the war. Theres not an ounce of truth in it. The truth is the situation in the Caribbean was rather dire in terms of mass unemployment and a rapidly rising birth rate, and the authorities there were worried about civil unrest. They approached Britain , and Britain felt an obligation to help.
how true . . .now our country is facing extinction for its native-species .. . !!
I'm a British national of part-Baltic origin. Can someone inform me of the location in London of a similar statue, unveiled with comparable fanfare and royal presence, to Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians who came to Britain shortly after WW2? They displayed a good work ethic, integrated well and had a negligible crime rate. If the West Indians get a statue, the Balts surely have one too, right?
NO BLACKS NO DOGS NO IRISH remember. How many of them have been here 75 years and are threatened with deportation. How many called a word that was for demeaning a person or people and only that.
'Tributes and thanks' for simple coming here? This country is beyond a joke at this point.
Noone mentioned the disfunction they brought along. Ok I forgot they still victims so we can't speak about it.
Your "disfunction" is why the UK is a cess pit of racism.
a generation of young men who's fathers fought for the country having they're work prospects stolen from them
@LDN The only disfunction I ever see is the white football hooligan natives fighting at football grounds embarrassing the nation on live TV 🤔🧐🤣🤣🤣
@@ArtsyStudios why import more crime?
@@ArtsyStudios yes. But ordinary white person doesn't want to have anything to do with those fools. Whereas Martin Luther king Blvd people gloryfy disfunction as they don't know any better. That's critical difference between us my friend.
Enoch was right.
About nothing.
And then 70 years later..yep..brilliant.
a generation of young men who's fathers fought for the country having they're work prospects stolen from them ahhh yes lets celebrate
Please, the whites of this country are doll dossers at home spending universal credit for baccy and beer and to fund their trip to Wembley to start fighting other football fans because its what white British do is fight at football grounds and embarass the nation on live tv 🤣🤣🤣👏👏. There is plenty of jobs but it's easy getting free monies innit bruv 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They not only won the war, it appears that they shot themselves in the foot somewhere along the way.🤔
Worst thing to happen to the uk
The worst thing to happen in the UK is the native white British football hooligans using their universal credit to go and start brawling outside Wembley stadium and other stadiums, embarrassing the nation on live TV across the world. I'm a white native football hooligan innit bruv 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ArtsyStudios stop watching channel 5 🤣
@Artsy Cant forget about the beer belly wife beaters like Scott, giving it the bigun behind his computer screen in his run down council flat, something he’d never do in person
@@ArtsyStudios Worse than the world wars then.
@@ArtsyStudios Nothing that football yobs have ever done can be termed the worst thing to happen to the UK.
Pull it down.
But now not an ounce of gratitude from the new English Folks for a better life in old Blighty (Sarcasm)
Country is so much safer and crime levels are so much lower , people feel so much safer walking around London ,
@@littlebrayutd ..Tell that to the indigenous who had to move out of London !
Celebrating people who emigrate for a better life, the worlds gone mad.
They came because we needed them. We had a shortage of workers.
That simple logic is now woke.
Especially all those that migrated to america to call themselves american and are not.
@@johnrussell3961 of course we had workers we didn't loose our entire army or the entire British male population, and actually we had the Irish as workers because they stayed neutral during the war we also had a young generation of men who probably wanted a job
@@johnrussell3961 Germany and Japan didn't import loads of foreigners after the war.Clement Atlee used (completely illegally under the Geneva convention.)German POWs as slaves until 1948.
@@578sundriedAZ I doubt the locals called themselves Americans either. Same goes for the locals in Australia.
Before the Windrush generation there was the men from Belize the tree fellers who came to Scotland in the early 40s they are often overlooked.
Most of them were African slaves who were brought to Belize.
Then raise awareness for them
..People tried to forget them ..
To be honest I never understood the narrative that they came here to help rebuild Britain, I mean people always immigrate to a another country to benefit themselves.
It's so good to know how much these people have contributed to knife crime and the prison population.
One of the worst things to happen to this Country was letting them in.
Cretin.
Like knife crime didn't exist before 😂😂
@@GreatWolfBalistic This is a strawman.
@@malicant123 true
And where would be your england without them , do u even know your history ?
Its amazing how my ancestors were well dressed coming off the windrush, But when I walk around London today and see their dress code now, I can clearly see we took a step back.
I hope that this Statue remains standing unlike those representing our country which were defaced and pulled down by angry mobs who were given the freedom to do so 🤔 🇬🇧
I agree. Statues should never be torn down.
Thanks for the grooming gangs
Yipes we have another statute unveiled in Hackney., how many statutes do we need.
The one of Diane Abbot will be next.
The current Tories wanted them to go back because their paperwork was incorrect.
If they where rich Russians they would have said….leave it with me and I will make it legal
❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don't think they are too grateful now of what was the British Empire.
Thanks for what exactly? They weren't needed and they weren't wanted.
History tends to leave a bad taste in the mouths of many.
Talk about knife crime, maybe talk about helping those most affected by it also? They cut themselves most of the time.
Godbless earth
Thanks and goodbye I hope. They weren’t wanted and are destroying the place now they’re here. Please just leave.
😔
We should be thankful for them buying cheap cruise tickets for sale from the company that operated the Windrush and coming here unexpectedly? 🤔....
We didn't need them here, we were offering £10 tickets to Australia.
@@bassetdad437
Which is why the Labour government (in 1948) opened the door to people from the colonies and offered them right of entry and residency. Churchill himself expressed concern at the amount of Brits going to start a new life in Australia and Canada, and that it left us with 1.3 million jobs unfilled.
Like ratio on these videos doesn't make sense looking at the comments.
I think most people sensibly spare themselves from reading the hideous rubbish which is and will be inevitably written
Ive had a message from some martians thanking me for our Moon landings and looking for our first visit to the Red Planet.
In our hospital they have a series of pictures (9 in total) about childabuse, the very last one has a head shot of a girl with her finger to her lips saying shhhhh!! This is a silent msg from the abuser to stfu!! Don’t tell me these childabusers aren’t in every faction of authority
Clear them out
'freemasonry' .
😊
Dont see how they enriched the british culture. Who benefitted more, the im migrants or the english people?
Rhubarb strudel today 👍
Love English
Parody farce lol
Punch and Judy show ...rubbish .
In the same year that we sent the last of 450,000 German pows home (a workforce elite ) we invited in an alien people with no discernible skills even the local labour mp couldn’t fathom the logic of this decision and made his concerns heard at some deep self destructive level the british state created a lethal racial precedent for all the waves of alien masse third migrants that followed had we in 1945 retained the superb Germans and committed to a technological future instead of a multicultural future we would have still been able to refer to ourselves as Great Britain 🇬🇧
They were never invited. This is a total untruth.
They weren’t invited. They turned up unannounced.

I don't think there is much gratitude now of what was the British Empire.
And Priti with a big SORRY sign !
Damage control
Everyone is a victim these days 😂
Ironic
Credit to the artist. This looks better than a lot of the statues that have been created these days. Hats off to the windrush generation for paving the way and for their lasting contribution to this country.
Yes the one in Hackney..awful...offended by it.......this statue perfect n beautiful
..should have erected a statue of a knife ..... !
👎
Pai!
Livrai-me de tudo que pesa o meu caminhar, de tudo que aperta o meu coração, de tudo que me faz desacreditar do Teu amor.
Afasta de mim a inveja, a fofoca e ensina-me a olhar somente para Ti e para o Teu querer em minha vida. Não permita que o cansaço e as decepções dos dias me enfraqueçam e dê-me a sabedoria necessária para lidar com aqueles que se levantam contra mim.
Bolsonaro o melhor presidente do Brasil e do mundo!
They swept our floors
They cleaned our toilets
They worked in McDonald's
They waved our trains out the station
They never complained
Their grandkids now play football for England
They deserve our respect
They never complained? Oh right!
I guess no native Brits ever did those things. Sorry, I forgot the narrative for a minute. Let me get back on message, ahem....."DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH!". Perhaps if I say it long enough I'll start to believe it.
@The Slip what's yours?
So your not prepared to answer your own question?
Nope. I did all those things for much, much longer.
Join the queue.
