Eddy Grant says British government treated Windrush Generation like ‘enslaved Africans’

Pioneering singer Eddy Grant has said that the British government brought over the Windrush Generation like “enslaved Africans”, and called on King Charles to begin the process of making reparations for the UK’s role in the transatlantic slave trade.

Guyanese-born Grant, who immigrated to London in 1960 aged 12, branded the term “Windrush Generation” a “b*****s phrase coined by the media” and said he was frustrated by “the fact that the Caribbean people, who are basically Africans in this particular case, are labelled with a misnomer”.
