Windrush Compensation

Yes there has been alot said about this and i think due to what happened in America and the George Floyd incident things seem to have been brought up again, yet there hasnt been any figures as to what compensation is going to be paid to each person. So has anyone heard any amounts mentioned? Compensation payments take years, the far east prisoners of war who were held under the japanese had to wait until 2001/2 for theirs and was not what i would call substantional considering the suffering and subsoquent years of horror they endured. What are your views?

Theland, my dad was on Burma railway aswell, Changi prison and loads of others, this was slave labour which is what is being mentioned alot since George Floyd death but although its different due to us being at war, it does not take away the fact that it was the cruelty and depravation they suffered and my dad was less than 5 stone when he came home, had nightmares regularly until he died.

OG; compensation doesn't necessarily involve blame. Compensation is not punishment for guilty parties, it's simply recompense for past injustices.
