Good grief. They are out of their minds over there. How long until our Overlords think this is a good idea here?

[Clara Lou]

Britain is not so slowly going insane.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Looks like a lot of Britains will be having new overseas marriages.

[edcoil]

Why should england have its own country and laws?

[Little Ray]

No, the disease is progressing pretty quickly, if you ask me.

[camle]

one wonders if a mormon with multiple wives would be afftrded the same benenfits...

[ClearCase_guy]

Marriage should be between one man and one woman. If you open the door to other arrangements, then everything is fair game, and marriage means nothing.

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.

[what's up]

Is this story from The Onion?

[OilCanDan23]

stick a fork in England...it is DONE

[ZULU]

Marriage should be between one man and one woman.

EXACTLY.

And THIS is where Homosexual Unions will lead!

[La Lydia]

No, it is from a legitimate newspaper in the UK.

[melsec]

Good bye England hello Englandstan!

[Flag_This]

They should be allowed to have as many wives as they can afford... /sarc

...but if they could afford them, they wouldn't be trolling for state benefits.

[LadyShires]

My mid-morning coffee is now on my keyboard! Thanks for the belly-laugh!!

[allmendream]

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?

[Paleo Conservative]

And this is under a “Conservative” government.

“No, the disease is progressing pretty quickly, if you ask me.”

Maybe that’s why they call them “progressives”.

[I still care]

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.

[pallis]

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.
