Criminals in Cahoots

Feminists in Britain (e.g. the Fawcett Society) are celebrating 90 years of women (over 28) having the parliamentary vote and 80 of women over 21 having the parliamentary vote. In view of this it is appropriate to celebrate the centenary of the Women's Anti-Suffrage League. This was founded by the novelist Mrs. Humphry Ward in 1908. There should have been no need for it. As Mrs. Ward pointed out in her letter to The Times of 23 May 1917 Frenchwomen were suffering but they did not campaign for the vote. The struggle for the vote by women is relevant to native British "culture" in a way that it is not to other people's. This is to make the case for cultural relativism. Mrs. Ward argued that (British) men would come into competition with women and that the outcome was in doubt. It can only be in doubt if (British) men fight back. What is at issue here is that even if British men can live and work in other countries through marriage that is no (good) reason why foreign and Commonwealth men should be able to use marriage as a means of living and working in the UK.
This is to repudiate the Council of Europe's stance. It determined this issue in 1982and 1985, the year that the Japanese changed the law so as to enable foreign men to live and work in Japan through marriage.
Instead of solving the UK's problems - feeling a stranger in one's own country; young men greatly outnumbering young women; overcrowding (in England) - the Council of Europe's approach is to exacerbate these same problems in Japan.
Th UK has additional problems. These include the widespread use of the English language. The Japanese regard their language as a protectin against foreigners. English, by contrast - because of the achievements of our forefathers - is a draw for foreigners. English language schools are a visa-acquisition facility.
The so-called "equality" laws enable foreign and Commonwealth people to deprive native British men of work and promotion. Women also benefit from such laws. British women, through marriage, enable foreign and Commonwealth men to deprive Englishmen, Scotsmen, etc. of work and promotion. This is a partnership of criminals in cahoots.
Human rights are universal and about human dignity or they are nothing more than a semantic device to bring about or justify a law. The Council of Europe as the guardian of human rights in Europe (as laid down in the European Convention on Human Rights) was certainly not established to enable people from non-member states to set up permanent residence in Europe.
Rather, my complaint to the European Commission of Human Rights about this issue (which is the cause of my not wanting children) in 1977 was exactly the sort of complaint it was established to investigate.
Though the Council of Europe's activities on this issue mirrored those of Japan there is no mention of Japan in the Council of Europe's literature. This shows that what takes place elsewhere is not relevant to a normative assessment concerning marriage and migration to the UK.
