"Because of the Fuss"

David Cameron said we are having today's EU Referendum because the UK is a democracy.
It was in the Conservatives' election manifesto.
In 1979 the Conservative manifesto included the promise to stop foreign men using marriage to live in the UK.
But that promise wasn't kept.
When asked Why? by Douglas Stewart, presenter of Radio 4 "Tonight" (end October 1979) the Immigration Minister Timothy Raison replied: "Because of the fuss."
In 1979 the official figure for the number of men using marriage to live in the UK was about 10,000 a year.
Therefore as a result of Mrs. Thatcher's Government not keeping its promise at least 300,000 men are living in these islands.
I knew that foreigners were using legal aid to contest immigration decisions.
So in 1980 I applied for legal aid to bring a case of treason against Mrs. Thatcher.
I was granted legal aid for my divorce in 1980, but  the Law Society refused legal aid for a case against Mrs. Thatcher. When I enquired Why? I was informed the Committee did not have to give a reason but simply felt legal aid should not be given.
