Japan's New 20 Year-Olds

The Japan Times, 1 January 2012:
"The number of people aged 20 years old this New Year's Day is estimated at 1.2 million, falling to less than half its peak of around 2.4 million in 1970 for the first time....
"Of the 1.2 million people that reached adulthood in the last year, 620,000 are men and 600,000 women."
In 2011 the respective figures were 630,000 and 610,000.
In 1992 they were 1,100,000 and 970,000.
It's a disaster for Japan that for a long time the birthrate is very low and that there is consistently a large excess of males to females.
This situation is exacerbated by foreign men being allowed to live and work in Japan through marriage.
On 12 May 1982 (during the Falklands Conflict!) the European Commission of Human Rights determined in favour of three women whose husbands were not allowed to live and work in the UK.
On 28 May 1985 the European Court of Human Rights ruled similarly.
Meanwhile, in 1982 the decision was taken in Japan to allow foreign men to live and work in Japan through marriage. The law came into effect on 1 January 1985.
Those at the Council of Europe, which clearly brought about pressure ("gaiatsu") on Japan, cannot like the Japanese. P.S. 10 June 2012: BBC World Service It's a Dog's Life reports that the average Japanese woman has only 1.39 children. Young men, it was said, are afraid of rejection by young women. Dogs are viewed as a substitute for children.

Daft Fuss

Many native people in these islands have selfish reasons for wanting foreign and Comonwealth people to take up permanent residence in them.
Many others oppose it.
Those foreign and Commonwealth people who want to settle here exploit this conflict of interests.
Therefore the recent fuss about Diane Abbott MP saying on Twitter that "white people" (Russians?) like to "divide and rule" is very strange.

Natural Justice

Two native Londoners were jailed yesterday for the killing of Stephen Lawrence.BBC News (6 p.m.) interviewed people in South London. Responding to the Government being blamed for immigration to the UK, the reporter said there was still "prejudice and bigotry". This was another example of otherwise excellent BBC employees revealing their own prejudice against people who oppose immigration to the UK.
Immigration is about allowing other peoples to occupy one's own territory.
Naturally, while some people want it (lawyers flourish!), others are made very unhappy by it.
In Goodbye to All That , Robert Graves' outstanding account of his experiences in the trenches during the First World War, the author says that though he would have expected the Scots to be the best British soldiers he would have liked to say his own (Welsh Guards) were the best, but he had to concede that Londoners were the best.
Stephen Lawrence, like his killers, was a teenager. They had something else in common. They were all male.
Foreign husbands are male.
When in 1979 the Immigration Minister was asked why the Government was not going to keep its promise to prevent foreign men from being able to live in the UK through marriage he replied: "Because of the fuss."
Yesterday on BBC Radio 4 Today Jack Straw (former Cabinet Minister) said the two convicted men were from "criminal families". Sounds slanderous.
To add insult ("bigotry") to injury (jail) those responsible for inflicting much unhappiness on many native British men remain unpunished.
