And the problem of the large number of birth defects arising from it should be no surprise to anyone. Crikey, even the BBC did a programme on it a few years ago (which included a father saying that his sons were deformed and brain damaged had nothing to do with the fact he had married his first cousin, but was down to the will of Allah).
Even in the middle ages England forbade marriage between cousins, for the sake of the children such a ban needs to be re-introduced.
Such a ban would be hard to enforce if the ceremony took place in Pakistan....
Corbyn is the epitome of snoozeville in everything he says and does...he's like the sad old bloke on the bus who uses his pass everyday and goes into PoundLand to buy one thing...
It is his complete lack of charisma that I find utterly grating rather than his policies..
And, I can say this cause I'm a Manc....but those rough, hard faced, gobby, Manc, female bruisers that Corbyn keeps trawling out.... perhaps Coronation Street, or serving behind a chip shop would be a better fit?
You're not female though, so don't say it
Surely you remember the Boddington's AD some years ago? A beautiful women....then opens her mouth......
Unfortunately the Manc accent comes across as particularly rough when it is spoken by a women. My Manc accent has become more extreme the longer I have lived away from Manchester, it creeps up on you again....
Mr. Llama, I agree, but it won't be. Not culturally sensitive enough.
There's also a vastly over-represented proportion of Pakistani ethnicity amongst children with learning difficulties, for the same reason.
The problem is exacerbated because you have cousins marry, then the next generation do the same thing, so before too long the genetic similarity is more sibling than cousin.

Clarification required here - in Punjabi Sikh culture, cousins are regarded as little different to brothers and sisters (hence the term 'cousin-sister'). No keeping it in the family there.

In my wife's family village in remote Tuscany those who didn't leave the village have been left in a smaller gene pool...when we go back to the family home it is striking just how many disabled children there are in the village....
Regarding Hammond, people are reading far too much into Theresa May's comments. That was as full an endorsement as anyone will ever get from her.
Do you think Hammond, Boris and Rudd are all safe? I can't see her going for a massive shake up after the election...
Well she's not exactly having much trouble with the current cabinet, she is already clearly dominant and after an election win will be more so. So why rock the boat.
On the other hand, we consistently expect May to go with the cautious option, and she consistently surprises us, so I wouldn't be surprised to see her go for a full shakeup. I think Hammond would be moved. Rudd has always been an ally of May's I thought, can't see her going - maybe she becomes Chancellor. Boris seems likely to go too - he would be offered a post like Culture Secretary and instead choose to return to the backbenches. He was only taken on as a means of neutralising a potential enemy. He's not really shined in the FO so can probably be fairly safely removed post-election.

That what was did for the Spanish Hapsburgs, whose line died out with the dribbling idiot Charles II. He was his mother's first cousin and his father's great nephew.

So, Mcluskey, is now saying Labour will lose badly. Please someone, anyone tell me what the point of the whole Corbyn experiment is or was? Surely the Unions would prefer say a Chukka in Number 10, someone they could bully a little bit, than no-one at all?

I think this is a site/vanilla issue, rather than something to do with your individual settings.

I think you're right...Boris has fulfilled his short term purpose and be discarded...and May will surprise us with her re-shuffle which will set her tone for the next five years...
FWIW...I'd love to see Fox go because he is the only one out of all of them that sets my skin crawling....the rest are relatively non descript...
Maybe Hunt to FO, or even Chancellor. He's the only one (aside from DD) that seems any good?
If Tissue Price wins, it would be nice to see him get some role. I've met him, and he genuinely seems to possess a brain the size of Canada.
Mr. Rex, wasn't there a French chap... Charles the Simple, perhaps? He thought he was made of glass at one point or other.
Charles VI the Mad is the one you're thinking of. He did at one point have a delusional episode when he thought he was made of glass. He was King at the time of Agincourt.
regarding Hammond - he was the much-needed cool hand grey man when Dave was around. As the Cons now have the very epitome of a cool hand grey person, then there is less need for him.
And why the vitriol towards Rudd? People misunderestimate the quality of cabinet members, in whatever role, and moving to whatever role, at their peril.
Regarding Hammond, people are reading far too much into Theresa May's comments. That was as full an endorsement as anyone will ever get from her.
the level of immaturity on here is sometimes quite staggering although I think its largely as a way to let off steam for those whose political positions are so out of tune with the public at large who of course barely know who any of these people are let alone concerned for their welfare.
Mr. Rex, wasn't there a French chap... Charles the Simple, perhaps? He thought he was made of glass at one point or other.
...
That would be Charles VI aka Charles the Mad, he was the fellow who signed the Treaty of Troyes in 1420 making Henry V of England his heir. That he was absolutely barking is not in doubt but I am not sure that was due to the close blood relationship between his parents.
Do you think Hammond, Boris and Rudd are all safe? I can't see her going for a massive shake up after the election...
I doubt if she'll do a massive shake-up, and I don't see any reason for her to shift either Hammond or Rudd, both of whom are doing a good job. Her style seems to be to administer the occasional semi-public tellings-off to her naughty pupils, but I think it's a mistake to conclude from that that she's about to expel them.
Boris, though, is a different matter. She's strong enough now to sack him if she wants to, but he seems to have settled down somewhat and she may regard him as effectively neutralised. We shall see.
Corbyn is the epitome of snoozeville in everything he says and does...he's like the sad old bloke on the bus who uses his pass everyday and goes into PoundLand to buy one thing...
It is his complete lack of charisma that I find utterly grating rather than his policies..
Charisma is overrated IMO as a desirable characteristic in leaders, though undoubtedly useful in winning elections. Tony Blair? Donald Trump? Vladimir Putin? I know that Mike and others feel the decisive point about leaders is that they win, but I like leaders who pause for thought and give long, nuanced answers instead of soundbites. I accept that it's a minority taste and that that's awkward.

That said, this is very similar to Watergate. It's not the crime as such, it's the temperament of the President that is suspect....

looking at the chart confirms exactly what she said.
The inflationary impact of the currency move should start to fall out of the figures in July, and it's worth noting that the US has lifted interest rates three times in the last year while we have cut once.
As an aside, the Euro is down about 10% against the dollar, the yen and the AUSD since the vote. I wonder how much of their recovery is down to our vote.

I suppose you cannot help your feelings....I liked Al Gore a lot and he suffered from a charisma bypass. I think that 2000 election devastated me more than any other. I liked the uncharismatic Hillary too, and easily favoured her to Obama. But, because I liked Hillary I nearly lost a lot of money on the last election, saved only by throwing a ton of money on the Michigan betfair market in the early hours.....

Or 'briefed by the people who actually know what the reality is', as we normally put it.
Ask anyone who knows anything about IT security and they'll tell you that the government (of any country) mandating backdoors in software for their own use has two effects:
1. The bad guys use different software 2. The software becomes distrusted by the general population if the backdoor becomes known about - for example internet banking and shopping services.
In other words, it doesn't affect the really bad guys, but it does affect pretty much everyone else.
MI5 and the police will always want to be able to read everything everyone is sending to everyone else, it's the job of the politicians to balance that against the rights of the average citizen to not be constantly spied upon by their own government. Mrs Rudd is a particularly good example of house training, but Mrs May wasn't much better in the same role.
