Britain is unravelling at an exponential pace.

It is quickening. It is feeding on itself. Cultural rot is feeding off cultural rot.

So had the U.K. (a most of the several states here in the U.S. have) undone the wisdom shown in common law of regarding long enough cohabitations as legally equivalent to marriage?
As Christians we ought well object on spiritual grounds to failing to solemnize marriages before God, but if the law stablizes cohabitations by treating them as marriages, much of the social harm is undone.

Marriage is detrimental to qualifying for welfare. Welfare is the single biggest reason, followed by low morals, no values and no ethic for work.

The extent of the nihilistic rot will make the U.K. (and Europe in general) easy pickings for the jihadis.

Another case of life imitating art.

Because sooner or later they will notice the vacuum and Islam will be there.

Does make you wonder though if the birth rate among first, second, and Nth gen muzzies is so high, then how can 75% of British births be outside of marriage? What does Islam say about single moms and sex outside of marriage, or does it matter?

Its a natal emergence.
I read that the only maternity hospital available under the British healthcare system is situated alittle east of the town of Marrriage in South Wales.

Critics believe the trend is further evidence of a deterioration in family values under Labour. It will present David Cameron with a pressing social problem if the Tories who have pledged tax breaks to less well-off married couples win power at the general election.
And after Labour completely, totally, and unquestionably fails, there's the Liberals,the Greens, and even wackier left-wing groups waiting in the wings to lead the country towards that brighter utopia.

Who needs a husband when the State provides? Who needs a wife when there are plenty of promiscuous women?
But who needs a set of parents? -- the children.

What does Islam say about single moms and sex outside of marriage, or does it matter?
Islam is very strict regarding sex outside marriage (AKA fornication or adultery ). But I hasten to add that Muslims today comprise less than 3% of Britain's population ( about 1.6 Million out of 60 Million based on the the most recent census ).
This is Not enough to make a dent on the widespread native Anglo-Saxon out of wedlock birth. At least not yet.

THREE-QUARTERS of children in some parts of Britain will be born to unmarried mothers within the next parliament, official figures indicate.That is a heck of a lot of birthing going on in a innadequately sized building! Must be a fairly nasty place!

It’s beginning to sound like places like the UK are increasingly being populated by adult children.

It’s 75% in some parts. Those parts would be where there are native Britons. Where there are more Muslims, the out of wedlock birthrate is lower.

Ya, Britain is pretty much finished.
It is even worse when you consider how bad things are, and then consider that 2/3rds of the country still support center left or far left political party’s. I believe the conservatives currently only have the support of about 33% of the voters, with labor and the liberal democrats mostly getting the other 66%. I’d guess by election day the Tories and right of center party’s get maybe 45% of the vote, but that is still not even a majority.
It really is pathetic how far the Brits have sunk, yet they seem disinterested in really doing anything much about it. I do wish the useful, productive Europeans would just abandon Europe and come to America. We really need to get all the conservative, traditionally minded people in one place and make sure socialism can’t take root in it.
