Muslim husbands with more than one wife to get extra benefits as ministers recognise polygamy | the Daily Mail

Re: confussed
 

I'm afraid there are those on here who will only see that you posted the link from the Daily Mail. The fact several other papers have reported it will not be sufficient to claim that racial propoganda is not being printed :rolleyes:

I'm sure Blazey will tell us she knows loads of English people who have multiple spouses :D

Re: confussed
 

its not about being racist its about bein fair, blazey can say what she wants, its her opinion, just like every one else has one

Re: confussed
 

Sorry I can't really comment on this as it could get me in bother with the mods.:mad: they really are taking the p***

Re: confussed
 

Another example of one group being above the law of the land, which can only sow the seeds of racial disharmony.

I wonder what Greg Pope and other Accyweb supporters of the present government have to say about this? Nothing, as usual, I would imagine.

Must say, though, I wouldn't want to be in the same position...the thought of four Mrs H's giving me grief when I roll in at midnight after going to watch the Stanley, fills me with dread! :eek:

Re: confussed
 

Many years ago when I worked administering Income Support I did see some claims where a 2nd wife was being paid for as an 'Adult Dependant'.
So this provision is nothing new

Re: confussed
 

This country is "BARMEY.".....

Re: confussed
 

I acually think this country where this could happen Margaret. I once worked with a German, he was living over here with is second wife but was claiming for two children from his first marrage who were still living in Germany, insidentally he used to brag that he never sent the money home but spent in on his fags every week.

Re: confussed
 

Fifty years has made a huge difference. In 1960/61 immigration from the Asian/Indian countries really took off. Most of the immigrants were men and a lot of them had families back home. For the purposes of income tax allowances they could only claim for 1 wife, even if they had several, and they had to obtain an affidavit from a local magistrate in Pakistan or where ever to say this was their "first" wife. The wife usually made a thumb print on the affidavit as, usually, they couldn't read or write. This country didn't recognise polygamy at all and any other wives were considered illegal.

Re: confussed
 

absolute rubbish!!
yet again one rule for one and another for us, and they wonder why we dont intregrate.

Re: confussed
 

seems they are saying they will recognise it if they wed in countries were polygamy is legal, FINE,then they should sod off back to the country they wed em in n support em there,:(

Re: confussed
 

Quite right cashy wht ever happened to when in Rome

Re: confussed
 

**!!** &#*!*#4! !*!*!*&

I really do despair. Here we have a government of supposedly intelligent people and they come up with this “CRACKPOT” idea.

How many more times do we have to remind this government that this is a Christian country? Meaning that one man can only have one wife in this country. If he happens to be a Muslim and has three more wives in his Muslim country then that is his responsibility and nothing to do with the state here.

It’s almost the same as migrant workers receiving Child Benefit for their kids in their home country. IT’S LUDICROUS!

The next election cannot come soon enough.

Re: confussed
 

Omg that is terrible!

Re: confussed
 

Re: confussed
 

So what if Im American, does that mean I can carry a gun over here legally as its legal in my home country ? Not only are we getting our laws from Brussels we now have to recognise everybody elses ??? If it wasnt for all the mother in laws Id convert myself

Re: confussed
 

At this distance it is hard to understand why your govt. would do this. Doesn't make sense. Nor does it make sense that they can get away with it without massive protests, and with the assurance that if they do s**t like this they will be tossed out in the next general election.

Re: confussed
 

I am surprised at the response to this, I would have thought most people knew, this has been going on for years in a different guise, in 1977 (I think), a lady from the benefits office in Rawtenstall complained that a person had been in on Tuesday, speaking english, claiming benefits of £230, part for people not in this country, he was back again Thursday with a different id, again claiming for people in another country and given an over the counter payment of more than the first one, the complaint was met with a retort from her manager of ' just pay him, it is much cheaper than going to his country and checking on him'. So yes it is a disgrace, but has been going on for years, the other concern is, this is another nail in the 'white christian' coffin!

Re: confussed
 

No comment then, Nu Labour supporters?

Re: confussed
 

do you honestly think it will be any differant if the other lot win?:confused:

Re: confussed
 

Re: confussed
 

I said in another thread that I agreed with Shakermaker when he expressed the opinion, 'The BNP are a bunch of misinformed racists'. This may well be so, but it is looking increasingly like a vote for the BNP is going to be the only way to give the other political parties in this country the kick up the arse they so obviously need.

Re: confussed
 

Hey.. here's a direct link to the BNP mission statement. call it a favor from me to all the true blooded perfect Viking members on the forum!

Mission Statement | The British National Party

Re: confussed
 

As someone who has on more than one occasion said I support this government, by the very fact that I vote Labour, and as someone who isn't afraid to speak my mind, I'm quite happy to say that I this is wrong. Just as I also think we were wrong to go to war in Iraq, which again I've posted my disapproval about on this forum.

There's certainly no wall of silence, at least from this red under the bed.:D

Re: confussed
 

Is the stoning to death for adulterers to be allowed in the U.K., because that is practiced in some Muslim countries, and in not doing so we aren't allowing religious freedom here?

As other people have said, this liberal namby pambying just adds more fuel to those seeking disharmony, and drives moderate people to far right political parties.

Totally, totally unproductive, in that this nannying interferece leads to more divisions in society.

Re: confussed
 

well ya could just have me changing me mind on this one.:D;)

Re: confussed
 

Yolanda .. you have the intelligence to find this article,but then you claim not to understand.. you aint thick are you? ..so why do you ask for other people to explain?.:rolleyes:

Re: confussed
 

Polygamy is illegal in this country. Anyone claiming to have more than one wife in this country should be arrested and if appropriate deported or taken through the legal process for polygamy.

Simple isn't it.

Re: confussed
 

OK, Mancie, I've read it and I totally disagree with it. As someone who is in a mixed marriage, I've got a particular reason to despise the principles of the BNP. But what exactly is your point? Do you think that it's racist to object to the story behind this thread? Because I happen to think that this sort of thing is the best recruiting sergeant the BNP and thier ilk could hope for. Perhaps you'd like to give us your views on this situation...or are you like so many of this government's supporters (Garinda excepted!)...terrified of speaking on subjects like this because you might be considered racist?

Re: confussed
 

would be kicked off if I wrote what I am thinking.... when are we going to say: enough is enough:

Re: confussed
 

Well my mum used to tell me that i was a cleaver girl, of course im not thick, is just a way to write a thread to make it interesting.
Anyway so, after all ur comments, is there anything it can be done to prevent this or we just have to let the goverment do it???

Re: confussed
 

This is what 'cleaver' girls do- :D

Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother 40 wacks
When she saw what she had done she gave her father 41

Re: confussed
 

Well they don't seem particularly keen on upsetting people who commit 'honour killings' either so who knows how soon we'll have hands chopped off for stealing and stonings for adultery.

Re: confussed
 

Pardon the pedantry but, actually, the criminal offence concerned is Bigamy.

Re: confussed
 

These extra 'wives' are not legal wives under british law - only under Islamic law - so bigamy is not being committed.
When Income Support payments included them in the past, they were treated as Adult Dependants extra to the one Wife.
Adult depandants could be, for example, an elderly aunt or sister, who was not capable or eligible for any income/benefits in her own right.

Re: confussed
 

An aunt or a sister is a relative. These women are not relatives and not "wives" under UK law, so the man should not be able to claim for them. If I had a couple of live-in girlfriends, apart from my wife, would I be able to claim benefit for them? I think not!

Re: confussed
 

If I remember right, some men claimed for women who weren't relatives and were described as 'looking after the children'

PS such claims were RARE!

Re: confussed
 

I'm sure they're still relatively rare, but it's a question of principle. Incidentally, I see that Greg Pope hasn't appeared to defend his government's stance on this...but, then again, how can you defend the indefensible?

Re: confussed
 

for the person who left me negative feedback if u are gonna live feedback have the guts to sign your name, no need for negative u moron

Re: confussed
 

No pasa nada chica..........You can communicate in English far better that the 'Nerd' who left you negative feedback.....Spanish would be lost on them and probably basic English. :mad:

Re: confussed
 

thanks for that, that has put a smile on my face:)

Re: confussed
 

Its not like me to defend Greg Pope, but I believe that is not the political parties at fault its actually the men in wigs where the problem is. We are still using laws which were made for the 19th century and to be quite honst its not the easiest thing in the world to change them. When anyone tries to change anything like this, the dogooding branch of British society comes out screaming the usual "HUMAN RITES" crap or its their culture init. Well I think its about time that the powers that be started looking to the rites of the indigenous population of this country, not continually pandering to those people who have come to our country to make a better life for themelves and their families. Enough is enough, I've had my rant now I'm going back to sleep:D

Re: confussed
 

This government passed the Human Rights Act in 1997, thereby opening the floodgates for all manner of spurious claims that would otherwise never have seen the light of day, so they have largely brought this situation on themselves. However, I still think that if the will was there, the goverment could end this anomaly if it wanted to - the problem is that it's so PC-obsessed, it daren't.

Must say though, I always get a little nervous when people start talking about "the rights of the indigenous population". Are you suggesting that people who have come from elsewhere should somehow have less rights? As far as I'm concerned, every citizen of this country, white, black or brown, British-born or born elsewhere, should have exactly the same rights...no more and no less!

Re: confussed
 

Could not agree more with the second part of your post
Wynonie, but in reality it doesn't work like that, we livein a christian country but are made to feel outsiders and are put down for being christians, not by oher religions but by our own pc brigade, and this is only one instance. Is it any wonder that people who were born and bred in this country are leaving in droves. believe me If I were 20 again and things were like they are now, I'd have been out of here like a shot

Re: confussed
 

Right, Jaysay, I've decided to take the "If you can't beat 'em..." approach and I'll shortly be asking Mrs H if we can import two "female adult dependents" from Peru. I'm sure she'll see the wisdom of this...

Re: confussed
 

How come I never thought of that, sounds like a good idea to me:D

Re: confussed
 

Re: confussed
 

Ya can't do that:D
