No Borders... Here's One Of The Reasons.

[Ninurta]

As in 'The Blue Pill' thread, here's the 'new' rules being introduced in the UK.

It is now illegal for your partner to do these 11 things in a relationship Domestic abuse
no longer simply means physical violence in the eyes of the law.

'Recent changes to the law have now made psychological abuse within a relationship illegal.
The offence of coercive control now recognises that domestic abuse can take several forms
and is not strictly limited to physical violence.

Changes to legislation The changes now outlaw a number of things that were not previously
covered by existing legislation, meaning emotional abuse of a partner is now also illegal.

Coercive control is the psychological abuse of a partner, which can be committed through threats
and restrictions, as well as physical violence, and carries a maximum sentence of five years in
prison.

In Scotland, changes to the Domestic Abuse bill were passed by Parliament earlier this year, making
psychological abuse and coercive controlling behaviour within a relationship a criminal offence.

The bill was amended to include behaviour that could not easily be prosecuted using the existing
criminal law. The laws have now been enforced in England and Wales, with the amendments making
the following 11 acts towards a partner illegal.

1. Sharing sexually explicit images of you –either online or not
New laws surrounding ‘revenge porn’ make it illegal for someone to share intimate photographs of
you with anyone, whether that is on or offline.

2. Restricting your access to money
Even if they are the breadwinner, the law says one partner cannot stop the other from accessing money
and should not give them “punitive allowances”.

3. Repeatedly putting you down
Constant insults from a partner might not be typically thought of as domestic abuse, but under the new law,
persistent name-calling, mocking and other forms of insulting behaviour are now illegal.

4. Stopping you from seeing friends or family
If your partner continually isolates you from the people you love –whether this is in the form of monitoring
or blocking your calls or emails, telling you where you can or cannot go, or preventing you from seeing your
friends or relatives –it is against the law.

5. Scaring you
Your partner might not physically assault you, but if they are doing enough to frighten you, they are committing
an offence. Women’s Aid says this can include, but is not limited to:
*Making angry gestures Using physical size to intimidate
*Shouting you down Destroying your possessions
*Breaking things Punching walls Wielding a knife or a gun
*Threatening to kill or harm you, your children or family pets
*Threats of suicide

6. Threatening to reveal private things about you
Whether your partner is saying they will tell people details about your health or sexual orientation, repeated threats
to reveal personal and private information is a form of abuse.

7. Putting tracking devices on your phone
The Crown Prosecution Service says it is illegal under the new legislation to “monitor a person using online
communication tools or spyware”.

8. Being extremely jealous
If your partner persistently accuses you of cheating, simply for looking at another person, then this could constitute
grounds for prosecution. Humberside Police say “extreme jealousy, including possessiveness and ridiculous
accusations of cheating” all come under the new legislation.

9. Forcing you to obey their rules
A relationship should be a partnership, with neither partner having control over the other. If you are forced to abide by
rules set by your partner, it could mean they are committing a crime. The Crown Prosecution Service says these
include rules which “humiliate, degrade or dehumanise the victim”, while Women’s Aid says examples include your
partner telling you that you have no choice in decisions.

10. Controlling what you wear
Your partner taking control over any part of your life is highlighted in the new legislation, including restricting who you
see and where you go. Controlling what you wear or how you look could also now be grounds for prosecution under
the changes.

11. Making you do things you don’t want to
Your partner forcing you to commit crimes, neglecting or abusing your children, or forcing you not to reveal anything
about your relationship to the authorities all count as abuse. Forcing you to have sex when you don’t want to, look
at pornographic material, or have sex with others also falls under this bracket.

Tackling domestic abuse head-on
“These new powers mean this behaviour, which is particularly relevant to cases of domestic abuse, can now be
prosecuted in its own right,” said Alison Saunders, director of public prosecutions at the Crown Prosecution Service.
“Police and prosecutors are being trained to recognise patterns of abusive behaviour which can be regarded as
criminal abuse. “We will do everything in our power to tackle this abhorrent crime.”...'

Holy shit!

Over here in the Colonies, when they get out of hand we just divorce 'em - throw 'em to the curb and get an older model ( newer models seem to be all defective - quality control is slack). What we DON'T do is have them thrown in the brig for 5 years for doing dumb shit we should have had the back bone ourselves to correct!

Seriously - all 3 of my previous wives would be doing hard time, making little rocks out of big ones under these rules. If I ain't got the gumption to pick up my shit and get on down the road when they can't be gotten along with, then maybe I SHOULD be the one doing the time, so I could learn how to handle adversity!
