Britain is not so slowly going insane.
Looks like a lot of Britains will be having new overseas marriages.
Why should england have its own country and laws?
one wonders if a mormon with multiple wives would be afftrded the same benenfits...
Which is precisely what they want.
A Muslim man with four married Goats - which is permitted under Islamic law - could receive £10,000 a year in income support alone. He could also be entitled to more generous housing and council tax benefit, to reflect the fact his household needs a bigger Barn.
Is this story from The Onion?
Good bye England hello Englandstan!
...but if they could afford them, they wouldn't be trolling for state benefits.
Islam itself says that you are only “allowed” more than one wife if you can support her equally with your previous wife(s).
I suppose if the government is supporting ALL of you....no limits?
And this is under a “Conservative” government.
I am beginning to really believe in Cloward Piven. This decision is wrong on every single level unless you really DO want to destroy western democracy.
Political correctness, multiculturalism, tolerance, Islamic hegemony are nothing but a gun to our head, and Britain can’t wait to have its brains blown out. It would have been better to let the Nazis have them.
Oh but remember how during the gay marriage debate, we are told it’s ridiculous to ask won’t this lead to legalizing polygamy?
I know a little about muslim polygamy. It is my understanding only the first wife has inheritance rights, etc. Muslim men often hide their 2nd wife from the 1st, and visa versa. Also it’s not uncommon for a muslim man to be shot when wife #1 finds out.
I don’t think the muslim practices justify govt benefits for wife #2.
And the British people calmly accept all this foolishness?
Really?
Joe Teacup has no problem with his tax money being spent this way?
I suspect there is a submerged rage in England that is slowly building. And when it blows, it will be very, very ugly.
I reckon polygamy is its own punishment.
Good grief.
Why are you posting a story from 2008?.
BTW, the extra benefits never happened.
Bump.
