"Rights" Result in Rural Wrongs

Today's Daily Telegraph, page 11, tells of "the mainly Nigerian grooms paying up to £10,000 to marry eastern European women legally living here.
"Clergy have become more vigilant after a series of sham marriages at St Peter's Church in Accrington."
Country vicars are being targeted as being ignorant as to what is happening.
Scope for this "immigration fraud" was provided by the European Court of Human Rights which (wrongly, I believe) ruled in favour of foreign men being allowed to live and work in the UK (end May 1985).
