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.
