Default Oh dear more bad news...

Killing your wife will become illegal due to a new law.

Quote:
under reforms to the murder laws, it was announced earlier this week that men who kill their wives - and there are 100 such incidents a year in Britain - will no longer be able to use provocation, such as persistent nagging, as a defence.

Does that also include wimmin not being able to use 'mental cruelty' i.e. the swine forced me to live within a budget, denied me the latest handbag/shoes/dress so I stabbed the miserable scroat defence

How racist can you get!! Who are we to impose our morality on cultures from the east. If they want to maim, torture, disfigure, kill, and finally throw, one of their wives into one of our canals (after first placing neatly into a suitcase), it's not our place to interfere.

I note there is nothing about women who kill their husbands.

Ah yes but they are changing the law on self defence so you dont have to prove you were in fear of your life so just put a bread knife in her hand after you have thrown her down the stairs. It might help if you cut yourself up a bit first.

I did not say this I was not here.

Why not agree with your mate to kill his wife and he can kill yours - that way each person is not killing their wife. Sorted!

That would be tricky for me, as I avoid public transport

Won't that make all sticks that are thicker than your thumb legal?

Can't see a bit problem with that myself
