Warning on 3 and 5. The UK destroyed records of immigrants who were invited over to help rebuild Britain postwar and their children. Then a racist Conservative government deported a bunch of them who were children in the 1940s and didn't have proof of legal immigration status - the only legal documentation had been destroyed. These now old people were dumped back in the Caribbean having lived in the UK for almost their entire lives. It was brutal.
