I fail to understand why polygamy is accepted for a certain demographic when it is against the law in this country and cousin marriage can only lead to birth defects because of consanguinity which will be a further drain on NHS resources. Yet another example of our two tier society!

Everything comes down to one simple reason because we are afraid of them.

They become instantly violent in an extremely short space of time .

Our politicians are afraid, or else they want the muslim vote, except Lowe & Habib who notably call it all out. And why do they become instantly violent? It's a vicious circle.

Because they only know one way - violence. Things like "Enlightenment" and "Reformation" can only occur where there is a certain amount of intelligence.

But those defects are extremely valuable to Muslims instant access to more benefits instant access to Motability cars.

The more birth defects, the better as far as Muslims are concerned .

No one ever asks how many Motability cars are used as taxis .

Have you ever seen it mentioned? .

Give it two or three years and there will be shock horror stories in the Sunday newspapers about how Muslims abuse the Motobility car scheme .

Women don’t matter to them. Crimes are hidden in the clan group. I saw this in Luton where rape within the family was protected. Opposition to marrying outside the clan is severe. A colleague faced years of opposition from family as she wanted to marry an outsider. She relented and her chosen/ arranged match resulted in numerous miscarriages and Doctors said she would never have children. Many of the Specialist Units in schools will be dominated by children born as a result of cousin marriage. Hardly fair on taxpayers.

Thanks for speaking out about this horrendous practice Matt. Not only does it massively increase birth defects and increase clan based, tribal thinking, it is destroying the culture and homogeneity of this country. That’s without considering the cost of the birth defects and the number of Muslims on benefits, either because they are female and aren’t expected to work or the defects and lower IQ makes them difficult to employ. These problems are only going to increase over time as numbers increase.

Our leaders and so called betters should be in prison for the damage they have caused. I couldn’t despise them more.

You got it right there TT… “destroying the culture and homogeneity of this country; it is undoubtedly so! Inner city Leicester… seen it, had to teach those with the defects, battled the tribal ‘cultural norms’, to no avail because ‘they’ know that they are protected by successive governments … it’s the trap I hope Reform don’t fall down and are wise to given their recent defections… not that I’m against the people it’s the perniciousness of the ideology that’s the worry.

It needs to be mentioned that the fact is that Labour believes it has a near monopoly of the Muslim vote and will not risk that. This is another proof that Starmer never acts in the best interests of this country, he always put Party first and that he will not be forgiven for. There should not be a definition of Islamophobia as it is not necessary (and anyway racist) if our laws are applied without fear of favour (which they're not). Muslim exceptionalism must be countered, there is no justification for the special pleading and treatment of Muslims; believe me what we have now is the tip of an iceberg if it left unchecked; we have a vast elephant in the room that needs action take. Vote Reform.

Great piece Matt.

The time has definitely arrived that the wider community must exert safeguards to protect itself from these malign influences. Ban cousin marriage, ban polygamy, ban religious slaughter of animals....these are our ' British' values..they must have precedent.

The Overton window has shifted towards action from passive acceptance. If measures like these are not taken we will be in for serious civil disorder. We should not accept the creeping tribal, Islamism.

Just look at what transpired when a football team from Israel were due to play in Birmingham...our police bowed to pressure from militant Islamists..non of this is acceptable, the push back must begin now.

Best wishes Matt, All

Religious slaughter of animals also extends to the Jewish kosher practice. Indeed, this is where Islam got if from.

We should remove religious exemption when it comes to the slaughter of animals. If they want halal/kosher meat, it must be imported and clearly labelled in large letters. It goes without saying that it must conform to our meat hygiene and quality standards. Anybody doing a bit of DIY slaughter in the back garden must, upon conviction, be deported.

As if. People doing a bit of r*pe aren't deported so no chance. Our knobbled leftard judiciary and our infiltrated infested civil service will make sure of that.

If immigrants (and we are talking about recent immigrants here) want to legalise incest the best answer for all is if they return to their home country. Allowing incest (it’s not cousin marriage it’s incest) is cruel to the deformed offspring who have miserable lives. Ban it. Ban it. Ban it!!!

Well said, Matt. One dynasty that practiced first cousin marriage a lot - even occasionally marrying their aunts and nieces, with a Papal Dispensation - was the Spanish Habsburgs. The last Habsburg King of Spain (Charles II) was physically and mentally subnormal. His surviving portraits, which are presumably intended to be flattering, are nonetheless grotesque.

Natasha's avatar

Yes, grotesque is the word. Queen Victoria's line also suffered i believe through the Royal practice of blue blood cousin marriages.

Alistair Kerr's avatar

Yes; in Victoria's case haemophilia was the main problem. It seems to have originated with her father, Edward, Duke of Kent.

I think a couple of children ended up in an asylum for life, cousins of the Queen or something, (Nerissa and katherin Bowes Lyon) there was a child kept hidden due to his epilepsy or something, (Prince John of Wales, sone of George 5th) and then George 3rd too. Possibly Harry...has difficulties too

Phillip's side were also descended from Victoria. Charles has been shown to be biologically rather inbred.

Maybe his "airhead" (by her own admission) mother and his inbred genes from his father have contributed to make the pathetic specimen that Harry appears to be.

His nanny said he was born angry and his school performance attests to his low intelligence and he's definitely impulsive aggressive. He certainly got the short straw in many respects. His good fortune he threw away for TW.

Yes he was, a third cousin to QE2. Yet Philip was very intelligent, astute, handsome capable funny.

If the people who indulged in cousin marriage were financially responsible for the consequences, then maybe we as a society could turn a blind eye to it. However, in our welfare state, others have to pay the medical and social costs. It must therefore be banned. Alternatively, scrap the welfare state and reduce our taxes.

It’s not about the money Bettina. If only one deformed child was born as a result of incest (cousin marriage) it would be too many and totally avoidable. It’s just wrong and disgusting in a modern society. What’s wrong with these people?

Their "culture". Which is incompatible with, and will destroy ours, given the chance.

Bettina's avatar

I agree of course - that's basic! However, some cultures do not even do 'basic' and we will not 'fix' that. It's not our culture to fix. The government however thinks all cultures are equal so we cannot even get to the starting block with that line of moralising.

Excellent article and summary.

1. Banning things pointless without sanctions

2. How much has it cost the NHS to treat preventable birth defects, how many children affected

3. Should the British taxpayer pay for preventable defects

4. Should those who engage in such alien practices be asked to move back to the country which supports their beliefs culture and behaviours.

5, Has Farage changed his position on sending r gang members back to their country of origin, again if it is culture specific is it right the British taxpayer should pay for long prison sentences.

6. AND does low iq, mood disorders/poor impulse control lead to other problems like crime, or welfare dependency, school assistance with yet more costs to our population.
