Fight for the Burden sisters, elderly spinsters who share a house and are demanding the same inheritance rights as civil partners.
The failure of the original legislation to provide for this proves, as if proof were needed, that the point of that measure was to privilege homosexuality on the specious basis that it is an identity comparable to ethnicity or class, or even to sex (which is written into every cell of the body).
That legislation must be amended immediately to allow unmarried relatives to register their partnerships, which already do not have to be consumated in the sense that marriage does, partly because of course they cannot be, a fact which speaks volumes.

"partly because of course they cannot be"
ReplyDeleteWhat? Seriously, what? Explain, please.
Well, it seems fairly obvious to me. A postman can never be a letterbox, or vice versa.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this? It's really shocking. You should post about it.
ReplyDeleteTell us how to fight for them.
ReplyDeleteWell, stop voting for the existing party/ies, for a start.
ReplyDeleteMake sure that you have instead a proper pro-life, pro-family, pro-worker, anti-war candidate to vote for: a morally and socially conservative British and Commonwealth patriot in the tradition of Lloyd George, Keynes, Beveridge, Attlee, Bevan and Bevin. If necessary, be that candidate yourself.
And yes, I do know that Lloyd George was an adulterer and that Keynes engaged in homosexual activity. Neither of these facts affects the nobility of the ideal.
Oh, that again. I thought maybe there was some sort of organised campaign for them that we could go and sign up to. No?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, "that again". It is the most important issue in Briitish politics today. Indeed, it is the ONLY issue in British politics today, incorporating all others.
ReplyDeleteThe Burdens must be desperately short of cash by now, so I'm surprised that there isn't some sort of campaign to pay their legal bills (unless I've missed it?). Anyone reading this who can take on anything else at this time, over to you.
Would your new political consensus have a place for people who wanted to sell their own daughters into marriage? I'd love to hear your take on the organisation in Derek's comment.
ReplyDeleteWhat consensus? The British political system is not based on consensus, and the Political Class's pretence (see Peter Oborne's article linked to today) that it is has caused, and will continue to cause, massive loss of liberty, democracy and constitutionality.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I am opposed to the sale of daughters into marriage, although the site does appear to be in the United States, and rather off topic here wherever it is.
Of course it's off topic. He was suggesting a topic.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought yours was supposed to be an international movement.
Oh, watch this space on that one...
