How we got here

There was no Christmas message by the Queen in 1966. But such was the demand for one that the Queen said in 1967 she would write the message herself that year on a subject that she felt strongly about. There was much speculation as to what that subject was. It turned out to be feminism.
A female Labour MP was inspired by it to press for a similar act for women as the Race Relations Act. This resulted in the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. (The Conservatives having unexpectedly won the 1970 election, due, it was widely believed, to Enoch Powell.)
The SDA governed the activities of the Equal Opportunities Commission which campaigned vigorously against the Conservatives' 1979 election manifesto policy of ending the concession whereby foreign men can live in the UK through marriage. (That policy did not, of course, forbid foreign husbands from living in the UK - as was sometimes claimed - because there are many other visas.)
On 7 July 1983 the House of Lords determined that the SDA 1975 did not apply to immigration control.
Therefore the EOC acted illegally.
If the SDA had applied to immigration control then the EOC acted illegally by not supporting my complaint that the British Government allows foreign and Commonwealth men to live in the UK through marriage even though I (and other British men) often cannot live in their countries through marriage. Because the EOC was bound by law to support complaints by men (as well as women). But the EOC's response (13 March 1978, ref: 20S 2793/KA) was that my complaint "does not come within the ambit of our work."
On 12 May 1982 the European Commission of Human Rights found in favour of 3 (foreign) women whose husbands were not allowed to live in the UK. Right in the middle of the Falklands Conflict! So "human rights" were being used to enable foreign men to occupy these islands while 255 British servicemen were being killed. (A similar number - we are told - have subsequently committed suicide.)
In December 1982 the House of Commons voted on allowing foreign husbands to live in the UK through marriage, but the Bill did not pass because many Conservatives believed they should honour their election promise.
In January 1983, however, Mrs. Thatcher said the Conservatives had to be united because there would be an election that year. Despite some continued opposition - one Conservative MP described it as "insane" - the Bill then passed.

A Clear & Specific Aim

An epetition to "Block Donald J Trump from UK entry" got over 546,000 signatures. This was in response to the Republican presidential candidate's suggestion that all Muslims be denied entry to the US. Parliament debated it, but rejected it.
Migration Watch's epetition "No to 70 Million" got over 145,000 signatures. It achieved nothing because it had no specific request in addressing overpopulation in Britain.  My request to Migration Watch that it support my epetition on marriage being used for immigration purposes was rejected because it "muddies the waters"!
"End Immigration Concession" was signed by only 290 people. 

Appeal!

I am trying to start a new petition. I need 5 signatures to get started. If you are British or UK Resident please send an email address for me to forward it to. I'd be very grateful if anyone does.

"End Immigration Concession"

My epetition "End Immigration Concession" read: "In their 1979 election manifesto the Conservatives promised to end the concession whereby foreign men can live in the UK through marriage. But Mrs. Thatcher's Government did not keep its promise.
England is overcrowded and he UK has more young men than young women.
The official figure in 1979  was about 10,000 men using marriage as a means to live in the UK. Therefore at least 300,000 men are living in these islands as a result of Mrs. Thatcher's Government not keeping its promise. Foreign husbands are enabled, thanks to equality laws, to deprive Britons of work and promotion.
It is also clearly unjust that some people have the privilege of having two (non-EU) countries in which to live, while others do not."
This petition closed today. Only 290 people signed it.
By contrast, epetition "Stop allowing immigration into the UK" got 216,949 signatures.
Parliament's response was "We are building an immigration system that works in the public interest...." There was no specific request of Parliament, so the petition achieved absolutely nothing.

A Useful Language

"Migrants Smuggled to UK for Just £100". Today's front page headline in the "Daily Mail".
My beef is not just with the criminality but with the word "migrant". This word gives them legitimacy. It implies they are going to stay and have a right to do so. That this word is wrongly used is shown by e.g. "Migrants returned to Turkey". For "migrant" read "people" (or "young men", which they usually are). Why come here, and not Russia or China? No ID cards, hard-working lawyers, the usefulness of the English language....

The "War" to Bring Young Men Here

Wars are mainly fought by young men.. If I were a foreign young man facing conscription I know what I would do. I come to Britain as a student. Of English, of course! To stay here permanently I would find someone to marry. Then I would have free health care, free education for my children....
And I would be able to do all this because of the campaign that succeeded in defeating the Conservatives' 1979 promise to close this loophole. That was a war fought not by young men. They were busy being shot at in Northern Ireland and on and around the Falklands. I used to want children, but not since 1962 when it was obvious that following the Commonwealth Immigration Act men from the Commonwealth would now seek someone to marry so as to stay here.

The Common Good!

"The Archers" (BBC Radio 4) storyline on domestic violence has attracted the attention of TV. BBC 1's "Countryfile" says that 2 women a week throughout the UK are killed by domestic violence.
Allowing foreign men to use marriage to live in the UK is the main reason there are more young men than young women. This in turn results in some men marrying women they don't really want to. "The Times" had a Leader about this c.1979. My epetition "End Immigration Concession" is for the common good. It closes in 3 days. I would like to thank everyone who signed it, particularly the women.
