But such a bill was not 'thrown out by parliament' was it ake?

The Bill to extend civil partnerships to mixed-sex couples was debated in parliament today (Friday 13th January) but ran out of time before a vote could be taken. In response to the debate Equal Civil Partnerships Campaign Manager Matt Hawkins said:

"In today's debate MPs from across the political divide spoke passionately – and almost unanimously – in favour of giving mixed-sex couples the right to get a civil partnership. MPs on all sides were in agreement that is the right, popular, and positive thing to do. Change will come – no matter how many minor administrative obstacles the government chooses to raise in objection: couples who have waited years for legal and protection financial protection are unlikely to be swayed by an argument about the number of textual amendments law makers will need to make just to give them the rights they seek and deserve. With over 71000 signatories on our petition for equal civil partnerships and MPs from every party backing our cause, we are confident that we will win through."

The Bill will return to parliament on 24th March.

But don't let little things like facts get in the way of your fantasies. And let us look a bit more closely about how this came about. It was because for many years gay marriage was not possible so a civil partnership was an alternative. That option was already available to mixed sex couples as common law marriage and the official ceremony was simply to formalise the arrangement. Your nonsense about homosexuals having more rights than heterosexuals was just that. Nonsense.

Does it make you feel any better to demonise homosexuals all the time?

I would be careful of believing all that ake puts, Dick. Heterosexuals have had the right to civil unions by marrying in a registry office for many years. There are also equal rights for anyone co-habiting rather than marrying and the recent alignment for same sex partners has merely brought the law into the 21st century. Homosexuals do not have 'more rights' than heterosexuals in this country and are never likely to.

Good Soldier, the anomaly has nothing to do with "equality", which is a complete myth in any case.....but more to do with "liberal" ideology and political power through the support of minorities.
If such a thing as "equality" existed the whole country would be up in arms over the dismissal of the Hetero Civil rights issue. I t affects millions more than the Homosexual "marriage" legislation and discriminates against them severely.

Where are all the people who allege homophobia now? Where are their strongly held beliefs on equality .....they are silent and will remain silent lest the truth shines out, that equality only applies to prescribed sections of society.

Don't expect me to join you in your "last tango" Dave.
I have no need to justify my views on homosexuality or racism, to this forum, I have done that for an exceedingly long time and explained my position fully.

I am not in the slightest racist and have yet to hear one coherent response in favour of homosexual "marriage", which does not improve equality but discriminates against heterosexuals.

Last week, a bill to provide Civil Union to heteros who do not wish to marry was thrown out by parliament. this of course means that homosexuals have more civil rights than heteros.
Why no outcry from "liberals" on this extremely important issue which affects many more people than the Homosexual marriage legislation?"

I agree that people should have equal rights regardless of their sexual inclinations, presumably transgender people do not have the same rights as homosexuals either.
this is probably because there are more homosexuals than transgenders in parliament, politicians apart from being corrupt tend to look after their own interests.
the uk parliament has been very good at losing dossiers on paedophiles and protecting the likes of cyril smith and greville janner,

I went to a Catholic all-boys school in Bolton. At that time, the numbers of migrants from Pakistan in Bolton was rising rapidly. When I think back, my school was infested by racism, antisemitism, homophobia and misogyny and the staff, mainly priests and brothers, were either complicit in the prejudices or ignorant of them. No-one was ever castigated for referring to Pakis, niggers, yids, puffs, queers, tarts or slappers. Your achievements with girls were measured by the amount of bragging you could do about which parts of their anatomy you'd managed to lay your hands on, etc. Seven years of that would corrupt the most saintly of us. It takes a lot of mixing with good people and a lot of wrist-slapping and reflection to extirpate those prejudices. In fact, you have to fight it all your life, which doesn't mean you have to carry the PC dictionary around in your head but you do have to do a lot of antenna-tweaking. Some people never make it. One or two post here, unfortunately. They usually flag themselves by the sniping nature of their posts, their inability to develop an argument and their intent on winning at all costs, even if that involves ditching rational behaviour.

Racism is evil but that does not make all racists evil - some certainly are.

That is exactly what I have been trying to get across. Thanks Jim. To some on here it seems that if you call someone a racist you are branding them as the devil incarnate. I do not believe that. Most people have a certain level of 'ism' be that related to sex, race or creed. We cannot help it. It is part of the human condition. What most people do though is resist the temptation to act on it. It is working and as new generations grow the 'isms' are being diluted and eventualy they will be all but a memory. I hope!

What politicians like Farage and newspapers like the Mail do is pander to those base instincts and, while they are not evil in themselves, they can bring forth evil in those who are particularly unstable such as Thomas Mair. The human psyche is a very complex and often vulnerable thing that cannot be categorised as wholly good or wholly evil. It is perfectly possible for a good person to commit acts of evil or an evil person to do some good. We cannot, therefore, dismiss a person as being evil but we can condemn any evil acts they commit and try to set them on the right path.

It is bloody hard work at times though ;-)

So - there we have it Keith
Once again you refuse to produce your so-called examples of people who have claimed that all male Pakistanis are culturally implanted to have sex with underage girls
They don't exist - no public person has ever made such a horrendous statement and you have never produced an example of the ever having done so - it is totally all your own work.
Even it were true, it would still be a profoundly racist statement
What you are claiming that you hold such a racist view (it is obvious you still do) because a small handful of totally unknown (up to this subject being raised) individuals and a politician, told you it was true that all male Pakistanis are implanted to rape children by their culture - no research, no survey figures, no documented evidence, no qualifications of any of the individuals concerned in the field of cultural or religious science, no overall expertise - just a claimed opinion that you refuse to share with the rest of us.
And you dare to hold two threads to ransom on the obvious racism of Ukip and Farage
Utterly and completely insane!!
Ake
Racism is evil but that does not make all racists evil - some certainly are.
It is estimated that one third of the British people could possibly hold racist views and have expressed those views at one time or another - that does not make them evil, it makes them misled.

No. He just questioned that NHS should pay for it.

he wanted EU citizens who can come to this country at present and receive the same NHS healthcare as everyone else to be forced to take out five years of private health insurance, blatant discrimination against poorer citizens.

No. He did not specify EU vistors. Many have a reciprocal arrangement anyway.
He said all visitors should have health insurance, and that would include EU visitors without an arrangement.

Steve, sorry but I could only find this reported in the Mail.

"Foreigners will be banned from entering Britain unless they have health insurance, under Ukip plans announced today."

"A flagship policy will be forcing migrants, students and visitors to show they have approved medical insurance before they are allowed into Britain as part of the crackdown on 'health tourism'.
The party's health spokesman Louise Bours will claim the move will stop up to £2billion being lost every year because of foreigners using the NHS to get treatment or prescriptions."

Everyone travelling abroad should have medical insurance.

The current situation,

Pay for UK healthcare as part of your immigration application.
You may need to pay a healthcare surcharge (called the 'immigration health surcharge' or IHS) as part of your immigration application.
If you're applying online or through the premium service centre, you'll pay the surcharge as part of your application or when you book an appointment.
If you're applying by post, you must pay the healthcare surcharge online before you send your application - you'll need to include the IHS reference number on your application form.
Your information will be shared with the National Health Service (NHS) in England if:
you've paid the healthcare surcharge (or are exempt from paying it)
your visa or immigration application is granted
You'll then be able to use the NHS. You'll still need to pay for certain types of services, eg prescriptions, dental treatment and eye tests.
You should bring your biometric residence permit with you when you access healthcare in the UK.
Visitor visas and short-term visas
You don't have to pay the healthcare surcharge if you're applying from outside the UK for a visitor visa or any visa that lasts 6 months or less.
You don't need to use the healthcare surcharge service or get an IHS reference number for your visa application. Instead, you'll have to pay for any healthcare you get through the NHS at the point you use it.

I believe that Farage is racist and a twat but to declare someone is evil because of their political beliefs is even beyond you surely, ake? Your argument that because he is a racist he must be evil is as flawed as your belief that because someone is homosexual they must be a pervert.

This is what this whole thread was about. I delivered the proposition that Theresa may (no pun intended) be starting to show that the Tory party, under her leadership, can change. I know I may be in conflict with some of my friends on here for that proposition but it is early days and she has yet to prove herself.

That you think I am trolling is entirely irrelevant. It has already been pointed out that it is you that display the traits of an internet troll. Also, as has already been pointed out, you have not contributed an original thought to any thread for a long time and can only seem to cheer others on from the sidelines. I am not sure what else that makes you.

I repeat, Farage is, in my opinion, a racist twat, but evil? Nah, too many people can see through him and he is too conceited to be a real threat. He is no Hitler no matter how much he aspires to be.

UK nationals living in or retiring to, for example, Spain, can normally expect to be treated in exactly the same way as a Spanish national and that is also reciprocal. Travelling to countries expressly for treatment may not be covered. But that isn't what Farage meant, as otherwise he wouldn't have had to say it. He means all health care for five years and nothing for AIDS sufferers, even if they didn't come here expressly for treatment. Great if you're rich. Shitty and unaffordable if you're poor. Discrimination, Keith. At the moment anyone who is ordinarily resident in this country can use the NHS the same as everybody else regardless of nationality and how long they've been here. If you've never been here, arrive by parachute and break your ankle on landing, you'll get exactly the same primary care for free as everyone else. Remove your blinkers and THINK about the implications of Farage's proposition. Farage planned that speech carefully with his spin doctors and knew exactly what sentiments he was appealing to. And so do you. Admit it.
