If there had been "a proper national ID system", it would have protected some of the Windrush victims, the authors argued.
How would it have protected them? Surely if they'd tried to apply for an ID card, the government would have said "you don't appear to be a citizen, and we should know because we threw away your boarding cards, so now we're going to deport you" (ie basically what happened when they accidentally came to the attention of the Home Office).
Or is that the reason for the word "some" in that sentence, because they knew that "some" might have been protected while the majority were not.
Still, at least it dispelled the notion that the Conservative party is only interested in what old people want. Now we know that they only care if you're old and white.
