Forced Migration

In the early '70s there was a letter in one of the first issues of Time Out by a Mr. Bannerjee, to the effect:-
I am an Indian. I want to restrict immigration into the UK. Labour won't do it. The Conservatives say they will, but they won't. So what else can I do but vote for the National Front?
Mrs. Thatcher destroyed the National Front in 1979 by promising she would restrict immigration - specifically ending the concession whereby foreign men can live in the UK through marriage.
The National Front vote collapsed, but she did not keep her promise.
On today's BBC Radio 4 News David Cameron described forced marriages as "bizarre". He should more accurately describe Mrs. Thatcher's failure to honour her election promise as immoral and undemocratic. Furthermore the Council of Europe acted illegally (I believe) by not investigating my complaint on this issue made in 1977; and it acted illegally in 1982 and 1985 by determining in favour of three women whose husbands were not allowed to live in the UK, because there is nothing in the European Convention of Human Rights concerning marriage and migration.
Today's Daily Telegraph reports (page 16): "David Cameron will today promise legislation banning forced marriages ..." The 300 forced marriages each year are only "the tip of the iceberg".
85% of forced marriages are by men wanting to live in the UK, and would not take place if Mrs. Thatcher had honoured her 1979 election promise (and the law had not subsequently been repealed).
The main Leader in today's Daily Telegraph comments on the "200,000 British citizens a year departing these shores." "... unchecked immigration over the past decade is creating a country many Britons no longer feel comfortable in."
