I think marrying your cousin is revolting.

British law states clearly cousins cannot marry...only 2nd cousins or more.

Then again British law recognised the legal status of a Muslim man's plural wives a few years ago. According to precedent polygamy is now technically legal in Britain after that ruling

A doctor once told me about some of the problems they have to correct at birth...including being born with no anus...I can't see how this is a good thing but they seem to think it is and nearly half their marriages are to cousins.

That is why there's only 300,000 real locals in this country...

Same in Ireland, i think its also against the RC religion in general that you can not marry your first cousin

Marrying first cousins is legal in Scotland...my brother married a first cousin, but only after undertaking genetic tests in Edinburgh. They married and had two children...but are now divorced...now so common in Britain.

The % of British Pakistanis married to cousins is very high-@ 50% if I recall

Listen you need to visit Featherstone if you think this is bad !

(To the tune of The Adams Family)

Your mother is your sister
Your father is your brother
You like to shag each other
The Feathersone family !

De De De De....Inbreds !

They look at you stupid (through their 3 and a half eyes) if you only have two arms !

The Norfolk of Ireland then?

I used to live in Clare and some of those Tiperary folk always seemed a bit backwards, from around those parts?

Too right mate.

Bradford in the Midlands? Where the fook did you study your geography?

Bradford's reet oop north ( and unfortunately far too close to the self righteous arrogant next door neighbour that tries far too hard to out do itself , the spawn of the devil - Leeds.) in Yorkshire. West Yorkshire to be precise, near to Halifax, Huddersfield and a bit further north than Sheffield ( south Yorkshire ) and in between Manchester and Hull.

And , errr no, I haven't married my cousin.
