Registered 11 years agoNo argument over where to spend Xmas. Both benefit from the full inheritance. More likely to be able to share clothes as you'll probably be the same size.
Quite a few upsides, actually.

Registered 3 years agoMore Tories voted against the Bill than for (from the BBC):
The Commons voted in favour of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, by 400 to 175, a majority of 225, at the end of a full day's debate on the bill.
Early voting lists show that 136 Conservatives opposed the bill.
Of the remaining Conservative MPs, 127 were in favour, 35 did not vote, and five registered an abstention by voting both in favour and against. -

It is not more difficult. Adultery is not a ground because it is a specific legal term involving heterosexual sex. But it would be accepted under the unreasonable behaviour ground. Which again makes it identical to divorce. This is 100% about semantics. Not that I'm dismissing its importance, it is just an odd issue for Cameron to bet his hat on.
I'm not certain about the absolute specifics, but I do know it is more difficult to dissolve a partnership than it is to divorce a marriage. I believe that adultery is not grounds for disollution, for example.
Beyond that, language has power.Pissy pants.

Registered 6 years agoWas it part of the Lib Dem deal? Besides that I guess he wanted to try to shake off the old 'nasty party' image. Which went really, really well after all.

Registered 4 years agoNope, it actually was in the equality document that the Tories published prior to the election ( though to be fair they said they would discuss the issue, not necessarily legislate). It's something the Lib Dems have always been in favour of, and it just feels like the next logical step after civil partnerships.
I do wonder about Cameron's motives for pushing it though.
Regardless, I look forward to it getting on the statute books now and finally booking the wedding!Now with 80% more Cthulhu!

Registered 3 years agoHe's so misunderstood her argument you have to question his ability comprehend anything.
Listen up Duncan. She says it's unfair for a multi-million pound company to exploit her misfortune by making her work, for their profit, while being paid by the taxpayer. Also Duncan she is working below the minimum wage so if that is the case the minimum wage doesn't apply to the unemployed. You are now beneath the law. Also just as a side note how much does a degree cost nowadays? It would seem easier just to go straight into the career of shelf-stacking then wouldn't it if they are both equal and worthy career choices.
But I appreciate your input Duncan and congratulate you from working your way out of such childhood poverty to become a cabinet minister. -

Yep, while robbing the tax payers from earning tax, by preventing someone else doing the job properly, you know.

Registered 6 years agoThat's the thing that really galls me about it all: IDS comes out defending the 'dignity' of menial labour (PLU syndrome applies, naturally), but it's not actually about the job at hand - it's the fact the company concerned gets free employees, the government gets to float warped stats, and the employee concerned is expected to grovel with delight at the fact they're 'employed' and not even paid the paltry wages normally given to such tasks. Bullshit. -
