“we didn’t realise there was this group of people who were here legally but who wouldn’t have the ability to prove it.” says May re Windrush. Well not because nobody told you but because you chose not to listen to people you identified as "the immigration lobby". You are totally responsible

Sorry Mrs May: you were Home Secretary - it was the kind of thing that you and your civil servants were paid quite large amounts of money to know. No excuse: fail.
Conservativism
She has created the hostile environment.
Elle ne l’emportera pas au paradis (Auld French proverb).
That if Theresa May did it, it was OK. She dissociated herself when it came to cynical decisions.
Which TBF is a trait I've come across in a fair proportion of Conservative voters ("I'm not racist, but...").
At the time she was quite happy to accept and live with the hostile environments cruelty and enjoy good tabloid copy. Now she has been found out it's time to fake ignorance rather than take responsibility.
We will remember. She hastened in hate & intimidation in E&W.
Anyone who thought net immigration could be above 100,000 was in her view an extremist
The notion we have anything at all to listen to from the idiot who caused Brexit.
Because she only needed to keep calm and do nothing until enough brexiters had died. That's about a year into her mandate.
Yes, she wasn't quite as malevolent as home secretary as Priti Patel, who wasn't quite as malevolent as Suella Braverman, but they couldn't have jumped straight to Suella Braverman.
