Rejected!

Yesterday I submitted a new e-petition to the Home Office. It was rejected on the grounds of being offensive..... (!)
It read:
In their 1979 election manifesto the Conservatives promised to end the concession whereby foreign men can live in the UK through marriage.
The official figure was about 10,000 men a year using this method.
But Mrs. Thatcher's Government did not keep its promise.
As a result, at least 300,000 men are living in these islands.
England is overcrowded, and the UK has more young men than young women.
Foreign husbands are entitled, thanks to equality laws, to deprive Britons of work and promotion.
It is also clearly unjust that some people have a choice of two countries in which to live, while others do not.
This petition requests the Government - for the common good - to end this concession.

After his release from prison for rape (which he denies), his negotiations with two clubs - Sheffield United and Oldham Athletic -  came to nothing because of strong opposition - which included death threats and an online petition signed by more than 65,000 people.
The main case of these protesters is that footballers should be a role model.
Some years ago I heard a Minister of the Church of Scotland speak on the radio. He had served time in prison for murder....
My 3 epetitions (see below) on Marriage and Migration were more deserving of support than denying a man a chance to start again.
