Natural Justice

Two native Londoners were jailed yesterday for the killing of Stephen Lawrence.BBC News (6 p.m.) interviewed people in South London. Responding to the Government being blamed for immigration to the UK, the reporter said there was still "prejudice and bigotry". This was another example of otherwise excellent BBC employees revealing their own prejudice against people who oppose immigration to the UK.
Immigration is about allowing other peoples to occupy one's own territory.
Naturally, while some people want it (lawyers flourish!), others are made very unhappy by it.
In Goodbye to All That , Robert Graves' outstanding account of his experiences in the trenches during the First World War, the author says that though he would have expected the Scots to be the best British soldiers he would have liked to say his own (Welsh Guards) were the best, but he had to concede that Londoners were the best.
Stephen Lawrence, like his killers, was a teenager. They had something else in common. They were all male.
Foreign husbands are male.
When in 1979 the Immigration Minister was asked why the Government was not going to keep its promise to prevent foreign men from being able to live in the UK through marriage he replied: "Because of the fuss."
Yesterday on BBC Radio 4 Today Jack Straw (former Cabinet Minister) said the two convicted men were from "criminal families". Sounds slanderous.
To add insult ("bigotry") to injury (jail) those responsible for inflicting much unhappiness on many native British men remain unpunished.

Christmas Present (and Past & Future)

The High Court has ruled that someone who does not speak English cannot use marriage as a means to live and work in the United Kingdom. (Three women brought the case on behalf of their husbands. BBC Radio 2, News. There was no mention as to who paid for the litigation.)
If judges can make the law (rather than Parliament) then - for the general good of the nation - why can't judges determine that no foreign and Commonwealth men can use marriage as a means to occupy the UK?

Supremely Illogical

The Supreme Court (a Tony Blair initiative) has ruled that foreign and Commonwealth people who want to marry cannot be prevented from entering the UK. (BBC Radio 4 News, yesterday 6 p.m.)
A judge said that having to live together abroad breaches their rights under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Art. 8: "1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.
"2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others."
The judge is illogical. What he said clearly implies that anyone in a marriage outside these unfortunate islands is being deprived of a family life.
Besides, the 2nd. item in Art. 8 provides a clear get-out. Democracy (i.e. Parliament, not judges) should determine this issue.
The News broadcast also stated: "Youth unemployment is at an all-time high."
Litigation is very expensive. Doubtless it was the British taxpayer who funded the litigants who doubtless are very grateful to a (barmy) country that pays to have itself occupied.

Judge supports Criminal - Ridiculous

David Cameron will say today (The Daily Telegraph, page 2): "We will also end the ridiculous situation where a registrar who knows a marriage is a sham still has to perform the ceremony."
He has been Britain's Prime Minister for 18 months. Why the delay? Has he only just realised?
Besides, if foreign men were not allowed to live and work in the UK through marriage they would not take part in a sham marriage.
This issue has come to the fore because the Home Secretary's speech to the Conservative Party's annual conference last week highlighted the case of a Bolivian (pictured on page 6 of today's Telegraph) illegally in the UK who cannot be deported because he has a relationship with someone else, and deporting him would, according to a judge, contravene Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
If the two men are so much in love what's to prevent them from living in Bolivia?
They could both enter the country legally.
Being in a country illegally is a crime. The judge would soon find that out if he were in Bolivia illegally.

P.S. The politicians (e.g. David Blunkett, when he was Home Secretary) blame the judges and the judges say they are only doing what the politicians want - ridiculous - ludicrous - lunatic....
It was said of Hamlet (Act V, Scene 1) that his madness would not be seen in England because "there the men are as mad as he".

If only he were alive today!

Britain's Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, told party delegates yesterday that the European Convention on Human Rights had the support of Winston Churchill.
There is nothing in the Convention about immigration control.
And it is unimaginable to believe that Churchill supported the Convention being intepreted in such a way as to enable the UK to be occupied by other peoples.
Yet that is precisely what took place on 28 May 1985 when the European Court of Human Rights determined in favour of three women whose husbands were not allowed to live on these overcrowded and hopelessly divided islands.

Support Plea: Please Support

The British Government has launched a scheme whereby anyone can submit a petition which, if it gets 100,000 signatures, may be debated in Parliament.
I have just submitted a petition on Marriage and Migration - http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/12694
I invite people to sign it.
Thanks!

As ye sow.... so shall ye weep

The current nightly breakdown of law and order in England's biggest cities by rioting and pillaging youngsters is widely attributed to the breakdown of family life.
For a long time, some women seek careers and some enable foreign men to live and work in the UK through marriage.
Naturally, the result is a shortage of home-making women to go around and some men marry when they do not really want to.
Divorce is the inevitable consequence.
