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.

It's Like the Weather
The unnecessary Referendum tomorrow is driven by the success of UKIP which is driven by "legitimate concerns" ( a euphemism for varying degrees of resentment) about immigration.
It is like Mark Twain said of the weather: Everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it.
That being so, it is a wonder that only one Englishman (so far) has been driven off the rails.
(P.S. Mr. Mair and Mr. Cameron have Scottish names.)

Self-inflicted
David Cameron spoke of targets to cut net migration to the UK knowing they couldn't be attained while the UK remains in the EU. (Radio 4 News.)
In 2010 he stressed a "cap" was the answer. Now there is no mention of a cap.
Brexit won't solve the UK's immigration problems.
If Leave win on 23 June there is a 2-year period before it takes place.
Immigration will soar to beat anticipated restrictions.
Boris Johnson has repeated his 2010 view there should be an amnesty for illegals.
So Brexit leaders clearly don't have the will to reduce immigration numbers.
All this controversy and disruption! All for what?!
From the outside it must look to foreigners as though Britain is committing hara-kiri.

Thought Control
In "1984" there is a Ministry of Equality that promotes inequality.
In 1984 I thought Britain was worse than Airstrip One (Orwell's name for Britain) because we now have two equality organisations. The Equal Opportunities Commission had successfully campaigned against the Conservatives' policy to stop foreign men using marriage to live in the UK. Even though the House of Lords determined (7 July 1983) that the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 did not apply to immigration control. The EOC was set up by Parliament to enforce work opportunities for women (the corollary being depriving men). Foreign husbands ae similarly entitled, by law, to deprive Britons of work and promotion. These men are here (partly) because of the EOC's illegal campaign. The largest group of taxpayers is British men. They fund the people in the "equality" industries!
In "1984" the only hope lay with the poor, the "proles", who cared about the future of Airstrip One. Central to the theme of "1984" is language. Newspeak enabled thought control. Jo Cox said: "women and men".
I am grateful to the many women who have expressed support for my epetition "Stop foreign men using marriage to live in the UK" at https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/129594

Pearl Harbour again!
"We lived in India. Now Indians live here. It's just history repeating itself." BBC Radio 4 "Today", yesterday.
In the early 1860s, while American had civil war, Britons in Japan were being killed. Unrepentant samurai were forced by the Japanese Government to commit hara-kiri.
Today on Radio 4 "Sunday" the Archbishop of York said killing was too weak a word to describe the murder of Jo Cox MP. It was "a day of infamy in our country", though immigration is a legitimate concern. "Concern" is a weak word, when it is obvious that immigration to the UK has ruined some people's lives.
"A day of infamy" was how President Roosevelt described the attack on Pearl Harbour. History repeating itself, indeed!
The Archbishop of York came to Britain because of persecution by Uganda's Idi Amin. As everybody knows, Idi Amin has long gone, but the Archbishop is still here. Everybody also knows that every day for many years there has been abuse of the asylum system. To dismiss this as "concern" is to downplay its negative impact on some Britons and to gloss over the problem which ordinary citizens look in vain to politicians to protect them from.
In 1991 I was sitting on a bench in a crowded shopping mall in Japan when I heard an American (Canadian?) voice say: "The English and the Japanese are so alike it is weird."
No one is forced to commit hara-kiri but the suicide rate among young men in the UK is notoriously high.

Wherein Lies the Fault
The reaction to the murder of Jo Cox MP was: "Prejudice and hate must be defeated". A better reaction would be: "We shouldn't give cause for prejudice and hate in the first place". People who give cause know fine what they are doing - causing unhappiness - yet imagine they have the moral high ground.
Prejudice is pre-judging. The judge who heard my case about Hong Kong in 1991 was guilty of that. He dismissed my case without ever giving me the chance to express it.
He also lied, cheated and stole.
Please see "Sauce for the Gander" in 2013. My Comments at the end.

Cause and Effect
Grievances breed resentment.
Assassinations (as happened yesterday) are not a good idea. (Signing https:petition.parliament.uk/petitions/129594 is a good idea.)
In 1914 a Serb nationalist caused great suffering to his fellow Serbs (not to mention elsewhere!).
Feminism and immigration are closely connected. (Please see http://marriageandmigration.blogspot.com "How we got here" 17 April 2016.)
