And your point is?

Talk about first world threads.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Actually the upper classes can be as feckless as the whitest of trash. It is the middle classes who tend towards the pious. They might make all the right progressive noises about tolerance to those who embrace less than traditional family structures but really, when it boils down to it, the biggest proponents of the nuclear family.

I confess, that stance is far more in line with my own views and I have nothing other than contempt for the likes of Boris who think they can just procreate then move on without living up to the public vows they took but I am pretty staid socially conservative Gammon who believes that 'Traditional Family' lays at the very heart of how successful societies should function. I would even go as far as promoting the notion that adultery should be made a criminal act but concede I am towards the lunatic fringe when it comes to that stance.

And would happily see the term 'b******' once again take on its genuine meaning in our society, with shame attached to that label. But, as I have said, I am Right-Wing Nutter. What is Mapletrees excuse?

how would you enforce that Law ?

i reckon its better like this :
once somebody decides to dispense with their 'fidelity commitments' then it's ok for their spouse to dispense with their 'financial commitments'.

in the current climate only a lunatic man or a loser man would get married. Hence the marriage statistics are going down the Swanny.

Leonardo Di Caprio gets far more sex as a single man, as does any fella near the top of pile.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Some Catholic priest Mark Drew posted "how did Johnson get married in a catholic church when I can't marry my own parishioners?"

The media picked it up and 2 experts explained. It doesn't make sense to me but apparently it does to the Catholic church which is all that matters so the priest ended up looking like a mean spirited idiot who didn't know his own job.

Then there was some from the Labour Party moaning it was all a Johnson ploy to hide bad news, disgusting etc. In fairness to the Labour Party Starmer sent Johnson a nicely worded congratulations so making those in the party who complained look even more mealy mouthed.

I don't get why prominent people have to be so ungracious, don't like him say nothing.

Anyway why worry they'll be divorced in 5 years.

One more point

Always liked the idea of the IS style 'morality' police. Teams of Nuns to patrol the streets, punishing any breaches of the law.

As I said, I am a Right Wing Nutter of the worst kind but, in my defence, acknowledge its probably for the best that people like me never make it to the highest political offices.

Like to think of myself as a kind of ideas man, allowing others to temper my more extreme/purist ideals by way of making them more palatable to the great unwashed.

Nothing wrong with being an extremist, if you can openly acknowledge the fact!
