Big Sister is Watching You!

No compliance with British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA)'s new demands on promoting diversity means no film or TV awards. An Orwellian measure indeed! A typical totalitarian tactic is to profess to favour freedom while restricting freedom. The Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to promote women's work opportunities. (Men of course lose out; just look at the present composition of the Houses of Parliament.) The EOC devoted much time and public expense to defeating the Conservatives' 1979 election manifesto policy to stop foreign men using marriage to live in the UK. But on 7 July 1983 (not quite 1984!) the House of Lords determined immigration control was not covered by the 1975 Sex Discrimination Act. Therefore the EOC acted illegally and spent public money illegally. As a result, at least 300,000 men are living in these islands because it was FORCED. Please see this blog of 13 August "An Abnormal British Muddle..." Likewise, curtailing artistic freedom has been FORCED. Foreign husbands are, of course, beneficiaries of BAFTA's policy.
