Are personal stories the key to changing immigration policy in the UK?
So, Eden McKenzie-Goddard takes us deep into the real lives affected by the Windrush scandal in "Smallie". I mean, can there be a more emblematic way to discuss this mess than through family histories? It's like Lucinda, born in Barbados, having lived in Britain for decades, is disappearing unless the Home Office can check its boxes. Seriously? We're still dealing with these Kafkaesque procedures in 2023? At least McKenzie-Goddard is doing something — framing the chaos through stories we can actually care about instead of stats and faceless policy updates. But here's the thing: does telling these stories actually change anything, or is it just making us feel better while the system stays put? Misery porn for the concerned citizen? Talk to me.
