? You're going to go with the rise of the Nazi party?

That's a bit 0 to 60 isn't it?

How is the rise of the Nazis connected to the 'thin edge of the wedge'? To be fair, I don't think it relates. Their rise had many many causes.

I could see the sense of civil partnerships.....but it was a slippery slope to marriage.....I'm not really seeing how it excluded straight people to be honest....I think all that was just a bit pedantic.....No one was required to get married in a Church.

Anyway as I'm not a fan of gay marriage....should I have argued against the introduction of civil partnerships because of the slippery slope reality?

I see now.....yeah, while anti semitism was far more out there back then I see what you mean. Mind you we know that Hitler and co hid the extermination camps from public knowledge....and destroyed much documentation...but those who cared to know probably did find out.

Though I feel few of us would seriously support going from stripping citizenship to death for what's been reported......that's not normal western culture.....though once she put herself willingly in a war zone death is the chance she took.

Fair enough, good points.

Makes you wonder why the government bothered to fight it.....probably cost.

Wouldn't say it's the thin end of the wedge. It's happened to one person who has a dual nationality, has left the country to join IS, it's got international media attention, the decision was esculated to the home Secretary, and is likely to get challenged by the courts. It's certainly not a decision that's been taken lightly.

I'd argue that thin end of the wedge issue that impact society are more likely to be things that creep in undetected, such as minor antisocial behaviour, bigotry, and crime that goes unchecked then gets worse and worse. Or other little bits of intollerance, like saying everyone with an opposing point of view is a Nazi or Communist which trivilises them.

Or did she become pregnant, after 4 years, to use the child as a reason to be allowed back to the UK, knowing the child would be British.
Had we renounced citizenship at the time of her departure, the child would not be British. It would have a claim to Dutch nationality but hopefully the EU will be dead and buried before it is old enough to travel.

They are all living next door I counted them in personally.
