UK NHS Encourages First-Cousin Marriages
Armstrong Economics ^ | 6 Oct 25 | Martin Armstrong

Posted on 10/06/2025 6:50:00 AM PDT by delta7

The Islamic state of the United Kingdom updated health guidelines to appease new residents. According to the National Health Institute, there are “benefits” to first-cousin marriage “despite birth defect risk.”

The United Kingdom has fallen.

The once-trusted national health agency stated that the benefits of inbreeding outweigh the disadvantages due to “stronger extended family support systems and economic advantages.”

“Genetic counseling, awareness-raising initiatives and public health campaigns are all important tools to help families make informed decisions without stigmatizing certain communities and cultural traditions,” the NHS added. The nation would prefer to permit inbreeding and create a population with irreparable deformities than to “stigmatize certain communities.” Tax-payers should fund “genetic counseling” since science, logic, and basic morals have no place in the UK in 2025.

“In the general population, a child’s chance of being born with a genetic condition is around two to three percent; this increases to four to six percent in children of first cousins.

Hence, most children of first cousins are healthy,” the article also claimed. Inbreeding conditions include deafness, thalassemia, hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, congenital heart disease, and more. Since both parents share a common ancestor (grandparents), their children have a 25% change of inheriting any recessive mutation.

Joe Rogan recently shared that around 70% of the Pakistani community living in the United Kingdom are married to a blood relative. The statistic was not sensationalized for views. The Journal of Medical Genetics published a study decades ago indicating that the rate of first-cousin marriage among Pakistanis living in the UK was 55%. The rate is likely higher now due to the unprecedented population uptick.

Illegal? No. Immoral? Studies indicate that incestual marriage is far more common in people with lower education and income. Siblings conspire to arrange these marriages without the consent of their children. Young girls are commonly forced into incestuous marriages to support their families financially. None of this coincides with Western values or morals.

The fact that the nation’s top health organization would encourage these unions is deeply concerning. The genetic risks are well-known in the scientific community. Children of cousin marriages have a 400% higher chance of living with an IQ below 70 compared to children of non-related parents. The risk of a stillborn during pregnancy is also significantly higher. The NHS has lost any remaining shred of credibility or dignity.

British Health Secretary Wes Streeting has called for an apology on the issue of the NHS report. “The first I heard of this was when I saw that report. I asked immediately, ‘What on earth is going on here and what are they playing at?’ The advice has been taken down, but why was it ever there in the first place? Medical science and evidence are clear,” Streeting told LBC radio. “First-cousin marriages are high risk and unsafe, we see the genetic defects it causes, the harm that it causes,” Streeting added.

The NHS has been forced to apologize after public backlash. Yet, this is the same agency that declared that breastmilk from trans individuals or “chestfeeding liquid” was safe for newborn babies. Is promoting child marriage the next step to cultural pandering? The world has witnessed a once great kingdom commit societal and cultural suicide—it’s over.

I find it amusing England and the EU set out to collapse Russia, but they are now the ones collapsing.

All the other Western nations allied against Russia ( 44) need to take heed.

In Jane Austin's last novel Persuasion, the protagonist Anne Elliot is in love with Capt. Wentworth, but is convinced he is no longer available, so she thinks of marrying her first cousin "Mr. Elliot." She eventually decides against it, not because he is her first cousin, but because he is a scam artist. (Of course she ends up with Wentworth.) Also, Edvard Grieg married his first cousin, and they were happily together for I think about 20 years before he died. They had one miscarriage, no born children.

Every one reading these comments probably has at least one first cousin in their last 100 family generations.

Not recommended.

But, not exactly rare, either.

100 generations?! That would be reaching back into the pre-Christian era.

—————
Of course, besides all of western MSM lies during senile Joe’s rule, it has the potential of destroying the Western financial system. This war has upset the world’s trade and commerce, destroyed the West’s SWIFT system, caused many nations to start dumping US debt instruments, and pushed the USD to lows,and much more.

Gold started its rocket launch the first day of the war, and now ALL the world’s Central Banks are dumping Treasuries and buying historic amounts of Gold. The historic highs of Gold ALWAYS signals financial upheaval….stay tuned and Prosper.

Sound like Rosie O’Donnell might still have a chance at “love.” I knew there was a reason why she took off to Ireland.

Why not allow child marriages too? Marrying girls barely into puberty is a thing in many Muslim countries.

Elite bloodlines have intermarried for centuries - to keep wealth “in the family.”

These are the families that control wealth in the trillions, maintaining covert networks of power.

The smart families did so in a careful manner, to avoid producing genetic abnormalities.

The truly evil ones kept it close, and those elite lines suffered the physical and mental affects of staying “pure.”

The world is ruled by psychopaths and pedophiles.

Allow them to marry on condition that they both agree to sterilization. Adoption is encouraged if they want children.

The UK is imploding from within.

"Figures show that up to 20 per cent of the children treated for congenital problems in cities such as Sheffield, Glasgow and Birmingham are of Pakistani descent, compared with 4 per cent or lower in the wider population – and treating these problems costs the NHS billions.

Give ‘em a few years to complete their surrender.
