The point being it's purely a social stigma, and as a one off has very little if any health consequences.

As someone who comes from a big extended family (dad was 1 of 8, mum was 1 of 6), I have a couple of good looking female cousins! 

 

What about cousins once removed. I.E. Your cousin's kids? Asking for a friend... 

Jesus christ, foxestalk finds new depths.

 

It's crazy how you can follow a forum and see poster's who seem relatively normal over a series of years, who then pop up with that one opinion or point of view that just bowls you over.

 

For me it's not a 'social stigma', it's your family.

Some of this chatter tops Greta Thunberg in the ''birds you fancy off they telly' thread.

@The Bear?

 

Normal?

Muslims can marry their cousins hence a high proportion of disabilities within their community.

I'm opening a book on how long before @Raj gets banned.

 

2-1 the next 30 mins

5-2 the next hour

9-2 - sometime today

3-10 - never, he's part of the inner circle

Unless the Bear's cousins are a plethora of hard bodies MILFs like Kym Marsh, Mel Sykes and Kirsty Gallacher then I'm afraid to say he's had his biggest shocker since he posted a 15 year old in celeb beauties

I have never once looked at a cousin of mine and pondered how good looking they are. Feels very Deep South America to me, very odd 

We all end up at a family wedding or something where you see a smoking hot lady from out of town (or never seen in your life).  Think, fookinn'ell until one of your parents or uncles say " oh thats your cousin from my grandfather's brothers grandchild" . The fact they said "cousin" is an instant erection loss haha.

I'd say that 90% of native born Brits would fail this criteria.

Stop sharing news and tell us if you want to shag your cousin

[The Bear]

I'm not saying I ever would, that would be a bit weird. I'm saying there's nothing THAT wrong with it if some people decide to do it. I certainly wouldn't judge them harshly if I found out one of my mates was marrying his cousin.

It’s sounding a lot like you want to **** your cousins mate. Deviant.

With the higher number of births via donated sperm they'll surely be a mismatch in the future. I believe there are many people out there who do not know who their father is and there's plenty of guys who are serial donors.

It’s more than that. You need to pay >£17k in to be a net contributor. So more like 95%

Slow news day on here.

 

Down this way on the Isle of Sheppey, I think cousins are fair game.

Jerry Lee Lewis went a bit further well age wise.

 

 

Yes, Jerry Lee Lewis married his first cousin once removed, Myra Gale Brown, in 1957 when she was 13 and he was 22. The marriage caused a massive scandal when it was revealed during a concert tour in England, leading to the cancellation of his tour and near-ruin of his career. Myra Gale Brown, now Myra Lewis Williams, later wrote a book about the experience and the abuse she endured.  

Key details of the marriage:

They were married for 13 years before Myra filed for divorce in 1970, citing physical and mental abuse. 

Lewis's fame afforded him protection, and the story became a cultural reckoning with power and gender dynamics. 

Myra Gale Brown later wrote the book Great Balls of Fire: The Uncensored Story of Jerry Lee Lewis and her own memoir, The Spark That Survived, reclaiming her narrative. 

Myra Gale Brown: was only 13 years old when she married Lewis. 

Lewis was 22 at the time and was still legally married to his second wife when the marriage to Myra took place. 

The scandal broke when British journalists uncovered the truth during a tour, causing public outrage. 

Lewis's career imploded, with concerts cancelled and his music removed from radio airwaves. 

The couple had two children together, though Myra was only 14 when she gave birth to their first child. 

 

 

Probably best not to use the USA as a yardstick.

What is Trump waffling on about?!? ….. he’s half slurring his words. He sounds half drunk.

Never claimed any benefit is the clincher for me.

 

So that's...

 

Job Seekers Allowance 

Universal Credit

Child Benefit

Statutory Sick Pay

Housing Benefit 

Pension Credit 

Maternity Allowance 

Carer's Allowance 

PIP

Winter Fuel Allowance 

Attendance Allowance 

Bereavement Support 

 

And, oh yeah ...

 

State Pension.

 

There's more besides, but I'm guessing most people have accessed at least one of these and we should be deporting all pensioners.

 

That's the Winter Fuels Allowance sorted, at least!
