HAT TIP TO TAM THE BAM FOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISMHusbands living in a "harem" with multiple wives have been cleared to claim state benefits for all their different partners. A Muslim man with four spouses - which is permitted under Islamic law - could receive £10,000 A YEAR EXTRA 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 property.
Ministers have decided that, even though bigamy is a crime in Britain, polygamous marriages can be recognised formally by the state - provided they took place overseas, in countries where they are legal.
New guidelines on income support from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) state: "Where there is a valid polygamous marriage the claimant and one spouse will be paid the couple rate (£92.80). "The amount payable for each additional spouse is presently £33.65.
Potentially the bill could reach over £10 million.
Sometimes you just have to SHAKE YOUR HEAD in wonder at the FUCKING CRASS STUPIDITY OF PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT.
IT'S NO WONDER THEY'RE QUEUING UP TO COME HERE!

This has been going on for well over a year. Perhaps the last time it got into the press it was because a single local authority had agreed to it, now it looks as though HMG has too.
Fine, I'll convert, call myself Ali Baba, get three more wives and sponge the arse off you lot.
Banned, for fuck's sake where are you going to get three more wives. One's enough for any mam, think of the nagging!
I posted on this way back in February. Here's the Mail article.

DL, what never ceases to amaze me is that women don't want more husbands. I support their stance wholeheartedly. :)
Thanks for the hat tip DL.
Like banned I can't understand why this isn't reported more in the MSM. Only joking. It doesn't fit in with the agenda of our media.
Other things I've seen this week that haven't really been mentioned are the top BBC executive caught up in Operation Algebra or the nuclear scientist in Geneva who did a Kelly and decided to jump from the 16th floor of a tower block.
This is blatant discrimination said Europe Minister Chris Bryant. Why can't men have 4 husbands aswell ?
Bryant is to marry his gay lover next week in the Speakers special chamber. He met his lover in a gay bar in Soho while on constituency duties.
The Queen has given her consent. Said The Lord of the Ring. "I'll back Bryant to the hilt if not deeper and congratulate him on this fantastic news."

Subrosa, I can claim clemency in this case because I did not start blogging until April when I copied my style from yours. So it's all your fault! I can understand why you would need 4 men about the house because you are obviously to busy to get your own tea and a wee cuppa from time to time. Two at home and two out working. Solution. :)
Tam, that's because the fuckers don't want you to find out the important things. Just sit at home at the telly watching celebrity come dancing or whatever the plebs watch. I am following that prog at the moment about great Scots in the fields of medecine and engineering. In their day they were the people who were looked up to not some fucking big whore with plastic tits shagging a cage fighter, whatever that is.
If Chris converts will he be allowed 4 man-wives ?
Banned, at least he'll be able to make up a 5 a side footy team. Manfester Delighted!
Ansel, just as a coincidence I have neuropthy as well and I get DLA. If you want I'll get in touch and give you a few pointers as I've been over the course in the last 2 years.
Bloody hell DL,that would be FANTASTIC.We really are in shit street here,and no one has helped us at all.
