"Rights" (?) Racket

No-longer-young unattached British women take holidays in Gambia. Lots of young men fall over themselves to be helpful. (Today's Jeremy Vine Show on BBC Radio 2.)
It's a racket. The young men don't just want money; they want marriage, so as to be able to live and work in the UK.
They can do this through marriage because of the European Court of Human Rights (end of May 1985).
Winston Churchill was partly responsible for setting up the Council of Europe (home to the ECHR). It's hard to believe he would agree with the Court's decision.
One woman followed her husband back to Gambia - and found he was already married.
If these women really want to marry these men they have the privilege to be allowed to live with them in Gambia.
