David Cameron mustn't take extra wives. Britain isn't ready for a polygamous PM
The London Daily Mirror ^ | October 18, 2014 | Nigel Nelson

Any man eager to acquire more than one wife faces seven years behind bars to deter him.

But where’s there’s a will, guys, there’s a way.

Just get married in one of 48 countries which allow a chap to collect spouses like stamps and then bring your harem home.

That’s because bigamy is illegal in the UK, but polygamy isn’t if weddings took place where it’s recognised. Afghanistan, say, or Iran, Iraq, Libya, and the Yemen.

You can even bag an extra wife or three in less disagreeable haunts like the Maldives, Morocco or Malaysia.

Your wives will also be able to claim benefits once they’re here.

Labour MP Barry Sheerman last week asked Home Secretary Theresa May how many such harems there are in Britain.

She passed the buck to National Statistics boss Glen Watson who also couldn’t tell him.

This seems odd, unless they don’t want to look too closely in case the race relations applecart is upset.

Or maybe they fear if Nigel Farage finds out he’ll have a vote-winning Ukip policy by demonising it.

So polygamy becomes another immigration issue politicians would rather avoid....

Our Supremes should weigh in on this. As Ginsberg famously said, “We have to consider the jurisprudence of other countries.” /S

The eligibility for government benefits is about all that separates multiple-marriages, from multiple shack-ups.

Yah... for our sake if not hers. But you have to admit, the SJC black robes come close. All she needs is a head bag.

... eligibility for government benefits...

Which is what homosexual "marriage" is actually about.

Well, that and Cloward-Piven.

Polygamy will be next.
