Oletko puhunut J.D. Vancelle tÀstÀ? Olen puhunut J.D. Vancelle. Puhuin hÀnelle eilen ja sanoin, ettÀ hÀn oli vÀÀrÀ. TÀmÀ ei ole mitenkÀÀn tehtÀvÀÀ massimigraatioon. Yksi asia, jota olisi selvÀÀ, on se, ettÀ tietysti vuoden 2000-luvun alussa ja post-Brexitin aikana migraatio on mennyt pysymÀÀn, mutta murha on myös mennyt pysymÀÀn meidÀn maailmassa. Ja kaksi asiaa. HÀn, joka haastoi tÀmÀn haasteen, oli brittinen, syntynyt ja kasvanut tÀssÀ maassa. Miksi?
MitÀ sanoit hÀnelle? Sanoin hÀnelle, ettÀ hÀn oli vÀÀrin. Olimme yhdessÀ yhdessÀ, mutta olemme yhdessÀ vastanneet. Olemme yhdessÀ vastanneet aiemmin hÀnen nÀkökulmastaan alueestaan. MinÀ en tunne sitÀ nÀkökulmaa, ja itse asiassa alueellinen kivilisaatio on aina ollut avoimessa maassa, vaikka se olisi Byzantin-maa,
Levantin maailma, Silk Road, on aina vaikuttanut viestinnÀn kivilisointiin, joten en ole samaa mieltÀ hÀnelle. HÀn tietÀÀ sitÀ, ja voimme keskustella siitÀ. Mietitkö, ettÀ hÀn oli rohkeudessaan? Mietitkö, ettÀ hÀn oli rasistinen? Mietin hÀnelle, ettÀ perhe on kutsunut rauhallisuuteen. He eivÀt halua, ettÀ seurauksia kÀytetÀÀn Henriksen kuolemassa.
Ja toinen asia, joka muistaa hÀnet, on myös online-alue ja kuinka tosiivista se voi tulla. Olemme siis olleet rohkeassa keskustelussa. Olemme olleet ystÀviÀ ja ystÀviÀ. Olemme pystyneet tekemÀÀn sitÀ. Ja hÀn on vahvoja nÀkökulmia.
A lot of your listeners will think that the status of common law marriage actually exists.
And that means that if you've been living together as a couple for several years, that if your partner dies or if you split up, you broadly have the same right as a married couple.
And it's a myth.
The truth is, at the moment, in terms of inheritance, in terms of savings, in terms of financial assets, you don't have the same rights.
And so it is important, I think, that we finally move to a situation given that 3.5 million couples now...
are basically cohabiting and that more children are born to cohabiting couples, 51% than children born to married couples.
Young people are putting off marriage because on average it costs 20 grand to get married.
It's a lot of money and it costs a living crisis.
So for all of those reasons, it's right that we give cohabiting couples rights and
And this consultation is about the basis of those rights for the first time.
Well, any unmarried couple who can prove that they've been living in a committed relationship for three years or longer or live together and have a child will benefit effectively from what we are now proposing, which, as I say, is to give those couples a legislative basis and
on which to the courts and they can make provision in the event of one of those couples passing away or the couple splitting up or indeed the couples having kids and therefore having to reach judgments about inheritance and assets and other things.
when the Law Commission looked at this, they recognised that the new context that many of your listeners would understand, the blended family, does raise new complications for families up and down the country.
They settled, and we're consulting on the basis of, if you've been together for five years, then the partner should be able to inherit in the event of
One of the partners passing away.
And if you've been together for two years and have children, then that partner also should benefit to avoid destitution and the things that can flow from not doing that.
