Two remarks that speak volumes

Two remarks in this Independent article about the Ugandan born Church of England vicar, The Rev Canon Dr John Magumba struck me. The first was that:

'The 58-year-old even told local church-goers that African worshippers did not feel comfortable around so many white parishioners so he set up separate "African services".'

Can you imagine the treatment that a white vicar would get from the Church and the media if he said that "Caucasian worshippers did not feel comfortable around so many black parishioners so he had set up separate 'Caucasian services'"? The double standard is almost beyond comprehension.

The second remark was this:

'Magumba later admitted to police Nigerians "would do anything in their power to come to the UK" and were "crying out" for marriage certificates, the court heard.'

Now why were these Nigerians so desperate to come to the UK? Maybe the next two lines provide an explanation:

'Non-EU citizens who marry EU citizens cannot be deported.

Nigerian men who married Polish, Slovak or Czech women - citizens of the EU - would then have the right to live, work and claim benefits in the UK.'

Can anyone out there defend John Magumba's actions and those of the last Labour government that have helped to get us to this position?
