Lord Peter Hain

Lord Peter Hain says (BBC Radio 4, 30 May) he is "anti-racism and supports gender equality and gay marriage". In which case he should oppose foreign men being able to use marriage to live in the UK. Because British men often can't live in their countries through marriage, and even if they could, these countries don't have "equality" laws enabling British men to deprive citizens of work, promotion, etc. And same-sex marriages that involve foreigners (from outside the EU) result in even more foreigners exploiting these inequalities - occupation of territory, work, etc...... Lord Hain, being an African and who therefore sees Britain as an outsider or foreigner does, is doubtless well aware of these injustices. You would think he would be more concerned with the Chinese takeover of Africa than with exacerbating the status of native British men. (Though for all I know he does oppose foreign men using marriage to live in the UK.)

Lord Hain was asked what he would do if he were Prime Minister for a day. He replied the first thing he would do is authorise the building of the Severn Barrage. Now there I heartily agree with him. There's potential for a huge amount of "green" power that isn't being utilised.
