Many Tunisians have arrived in France having crossed the Mediterranean in boats sans papiers. They are "determined" to work; to stay permanently; and to raise families. (BBC Radio 4, World at One.) Since they are all young men they will compete with Frenchmen for wives. (By contrast, the "rush" by young men from the Commonwealth to enter the UK in the first half of 1962 before the Commonwealth Immigrants Act came into force at least - for the most part - did so avec papiers.)
It is not right that these Tunisians succeed while some of their law-abiding countrymen adhere to procedures, apply for a Shengen visa, but are refused one.
It would be right for a Frenchman to complain to the European Commission of Human Rights that these young men be deported back to their own country.
However, there is no chance of the ECHR investigating such a complaint, because it only investigates complaints from people who are personally subject to a decision by a public body.
This is a systemic bias - a procedural imbalance - , i.e. not equal.

"Out of Control"
Immigration "has been completely out of control", said David Cameron on BBC Radio 4 Today this morning (8.10 a.m.)
He has been Prime Minister for 50 weeks, and, tellingly, he did not say it is now under control.
The ability of other peoples to occupy these unfortunate islands will never be under control while foreign men need only find someone to marry in order to avoid the constraints imposed by visas and entry permits.

Royal Inequality
There is much talk in Britain ahead of the Royal Wedding (29 April) of the Government proposal to enable a female to inherit the throne on equal terms with a male heir.
Broadcasting House (BBC Radio 4) also remarked today on the Government Equalities Office which employs 10 people - all women.
The Government has enforced stringent cuts in the public sector.
The Equalities Office only exists because of wealth - which is created by production.
If the argument for its existence is normative then a normative policy would be to campaign for an end to the "concession" whereby foreign men can live and work in the UK through marriage.
It is unequal, because:
1) While foreign men are exploiting this loophole, British men are being killed and wounded on active service;
2) These foreign men can avail themselves of the "equality" laws to deprive native British men of work and promotion;
3) People in same nationality marriages do not have the opportunity to live in other countries through marriage;
4) Some other countries, e.g. Indonesia, do not allow foreign men to live and work in their country through marriage. But their citizens, of both sexes, can live and work in the UK through marriage;
5) The sex ratio of young people in the UK is being deliberately distorted - young men far outnumber young women;
6) England's population does not compare favorably with other countries. It is probably the world's most crowded country. Overcrowding is a royal recipe for stress and unhappiness....
7) It is plainly obvious that foreign and Commonwealth men use marriage as a means to occupy the UK. There is clearly a huge difference/inequality between occupying and being occupied. You would think that, of all people, the native British - even in the Equalities Office - would understand that. Even if they don't, it's for sure that other people most certainly do.
Broadcasting House also complained about the infanticide of female foetuses in India. There are not enough women for Indian men to have wives, so, of course, they come to Britain.

It's still a con
"It's a con!" said a British National Party spokesman when asked on Today (BBC Radio 4) to comment on David Cameron's major speech later this morning on immigration. The Prime Minister will argue that Britain needs "good immigration, not mass immigration".
He is making this speech because elections are coming up. This is not only the BNP view, but was also a point made by the Immigration Minister, Damian Green (who said he doesn't want people to vote for "extremist parties").
In 1979 one of the principal reasons for people voting for Mrs. Thatcher was her promise to clamp down on immigration.
The Conservatives are still talking about it. Conning the voters is extreme.

Who is conning whom?
The Church of England wants to clamp down on sham marriages. This morning the Bishop of Ripon and Leeds told BBC Radio 4's Today that vicars are being conned.
He did not say that the Church had opposed Mrs. Thatcher's 1979 election policy to end the concession whereby foreign men can live and work in the UK through marriage.
If they couldn't do that they wouldn't look for someone to marry in order to stay here.
