    Does your culture and what it expects you to do contravene English law

    a) No fine - do what you want
    b) Yes fine feck off to a country where it is legal

    If you stay and do B it is illegal and judges should jusge it based on the laws of the land not on anything else.
    Indeed, as happened not so far away here.

    I don't see anything different as far as complying with the law is concerned. Of course, the first is nowhere near as serious or heinous as the second but that should be reflected in the sentence, not the determination of guilt.

      Bloody Welsh and their forced marriages and bigomy. I bet the other wife was a sheep, just to keep in with their so called culture.

        Actually the sheep myth came about because of people stealing livestock to eat or sell

        The punishment for being caught shagging sheep rather than selling them, was a fine rather than losing a limb in those days and hence the myth about sheep shagging was born
        Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

        No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

          Sounds a bit racist...

              Just pointing out the irony of it.

                It might be if Wales were a real country.

                    Which further compounds the irony.
                    It comes to something when the level of trolling on this forum has been reduced to inconsistent feckwittery. At least SAS could maintain his position across multiple threads.

                      Why so serious?

                      I didn't realise that General had a rule about consistency - the mods had better watch out...

                      By the way, it's becoming more and more clear that you don't understand what irony is. Do you need a link to a dictionary?
