A Peg for Cultural Relativism
The Council of Europe's activities concerning marriage and migration coincided with Japan's, which, in 1985, allowed foreign men to live and work in Japan through marrage.
This gives an appearance of equality with the UK and trumps my complaint to the European Commission of Human Rights in 1977 about the UK allowing foreign and Commonwealth men to live and work in the UK through marriage even though I (and other Englishmen) often cannot live in their countries through marriage.
In order to make a complaint a peg is needed. But that particular peg was not the problem.
Each country has its own problems. It is this cultural relativism that the Council of Europe was set up to address.
Winston Churchill was one of the inspirations behind the Council of Europe. It is inconceivable that he would have supported it had he known it would facilitate the occupation of the UK by foreigners.
