Equality for All (not a Sop of a Cap)

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.
