Stop benefits to families who have more than one wife living in the UK.

Petition Details

People are living in this country and receiving benefits for more than one wife. the Government is cutting benefits to everyone but it seems not to these people. why should the tax payer of the UK pay for anyone to have more than one wife when it is illegal for British men to have more than one wife

Additional Information

More details

If people require more than one wife they should pay them selves for the privilege. it makes a fool of our state fund. We have disabled and pensioners all having cuts and ex service men living in streets it makes no sense that this has not be addressed. STOP THE FUNDING
