A Red Dawn

[Dec27]

If you're referring to post#296 then no, i don't think she's telling 'the truth' about the issue at all.

What part isn’t true ?

A DWP spokesman said: 'There are fewer than 1,000 polygamous marriages in the UK and only a small percentage of these are claiming social security benefit.
"We recently reviewed the rules regarding benefit payments to customers in a polygamous marriage, which conclude that the rules in place since 1987 provide the necessary safeguards to ensure there is no financial advantage for claimants in a valid polygamous marriage."

You’ve done nothing but waste time avoiding the tweet.

I’ve drawn my conclusion from it.

Likewise you've wasted our time not allowing us to discuss your philosophy because you can't put it in writing.

if I said something like, "this is how I see the world" but failed to explain how I see the world.
If you asked me to explian how I see the world, I could refer you to Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
You could, quite rightly accuse me of not understanding his theory of relativity, so how can it be my philosophy?
I've just adopted his philosophy even though I don't understand it.

This is where I think we are with you. You've adopted KH's ideology, not because you agree with it. You can't agree with it because you don't understand it.
You have adopted her ideology, not because you understand her ideology, but because you admire her, for whatever are your private reasons.
So I want to discuss your ideology, not hers. If you can't explain what your ideology is, you're proving that you're a typical gullible lemming.

However, there is an important nuance:

• The statement “there is no financial advantage” refers to the special polygamy provisions in legacy benefits.
• The House of Commons Library noted that Universal Credit does not recognise polygamous marriages, and as a result some polygamous households could actually receive more under Universal Credit because later spouses claim separately as single people.

It was simple Billy, you’ve been a massive prick about it all.

I won’t be reading your waffle on going.

I've also enjoyed you exposing yourself as a troll.

He's never been anything different.

But even then you were incapable of explaining it.

I don't actually see the problem with that. It's just people living in a weird household arrangement, claiming as single people. Like they would do if they were friends living together.
