Are you actually serious? Windrush has been talked about in some form or other for a number of years now, individual MPs have been campaigning over the issue for as long. It's crucial at the moment because it is absolutely apparent that a big driver for the home office's behaviour was austerity - to try and deny people services who were entitled to them. The other motivator was their phoney immigration target. I posted stats on here about 18 months ago about how the Brexiteers were saying 're-engage with the commonwealth' but at the same time the government were pursuing a strategy to kill off commonwealth migration.

It is almost like you don't want the government to be held to account for anything they do.
