Britain has a new Home Secretary, Theresa May. She is also Minister for Women and Equality.
For there to be Equality, there has to be a Minister for Men.
If only there was one, doubtless he would oppose the present law that allows foreign men to take up permanent residence in the UK through the simple expedience of marriage. The law also allows him to compete with native British men for work and promotion on equal terms.
Naturally for every foreign man who benefits, there is a native British man who loses out.
It is pointless the new Government talking about caps on immigration (as a sop to fool the electorate) while this long-standing systemic inequality continues.

i dont understand about this ... can you explain more please
Racist - who are we to tell people who they can and can't marry?
Why should people not compete for jobs on and equal basis?
Arguing for stricter immigraton controls, Labour Member of Parliament John Mann said on BBC Radio 4's "The Week in Westminster" on 12 June: "We're heading for huge, huge social unrest."
Dear Fiancee Visa,
The British General Election contest in April/May 2010 was defined by the TV debates.
The Conservative leader (now Prime Minister) David Cameron kept stressing that the solution to Britain's immigration problems was to cap the number of migrants from non-EU countries. The Conservatives have never explained how such acap would work or how effective it would be.
Their idea of a cap obfuscates other issues, eg. chain migration, changing visa status, overstaying, etc.
Dear Anonymous,
I'm not saying who people can or cannot marry.
What I'm saying is that some people use marriage as a means to occupy the UK.
If this loophole was not available to them many transnational (outside the EU) marriages would simply not take place. Foreign and Commonwealth men have countries of their own. I have no objection to them marrying women who have the right to permanent residence in the UK and living with them in their own countries.
Foreign and Commonwealth men would not like it if foreigners came to their countries and, because of so-called "equality" laws, were entitled to deprive them of work and promotion.
