I don’t know what to say about this one. I can’t be flippant, I can’t be sad or outraged. Is this what so called humanity looks like and has come to?

Looking on a lighter side of the story, I like it how The Sun feels the need to publish a picture of the lift….:rolleyes:

I’m with Trumper on this one. My Mother had an expression, more to be pitied than blamed, and I think that covers this case. Whilst personally finding the thought of incest repulsive, I think there has to be an acknowledgement that it continues today largely unseen. In this case, I think education and guidance is what is needed rather than a punishment. There should also be an assessment of their intellect so that any guidance is appropriate to their levels of understanding. If a punishment is deemed necessary, it should be for engaging in sexual activity in public rather than due to the familial relationship between the participants.
It does, however, potentially open up a whole crate of cans of worms regarding the legality or otherwise of a number of sexual practices.

They are probably going to spend the rest of their lives being punished and chastised in some form or other,it has happened they didn’t hurt anyone else so i also feel guidance is a better way.

Charlie – I cannot see how punishing them would achieve anything. At some stage in their lives the people who have been teaching them morals have clearly failed. Therefore they need education to realise that what they are doing is wrong. Giving them a punishment isn’t going to improve their morals but more likely
to cause resentment.

Would someone run past me why he alone was added to the sex offenders register and not both of them (given that both are adults). Im sure i must have missed something somewhere
Indeed, in fact why put either on the Sex Offenders register? I always took that to be in place to warn people of the threat, the only person he was a “threat” to was his sister, and she was well aware of it, though I use the word “threat” reservedly as she seemed to be a willing participant.
Makes my skin crawl… Sorry, but it does.

If they were punished they would quickly understand.
By: David Burke - 6th May 2013 at 19:04
Charlie -if someone cannot comprehend that they are doing something wrong punishing them for being stupid hardly helps the situation!

Can you imagine the embarrassment of admitting the best shag you had was your sister LOL.Years ago i daresay it wouldn’t have made the news. How embarassing are these

While it is not an activity I would partake of myself why is it illegal?
It’s a bit like making suicide illegal. A bit pointless really.
Going to charge them with having consential sex while a certain cleric who wants to bring down the government can’t be touched?
BTW looking at their faces it’s probably the only sex they will get so go for it I say.

The way things are going I think you are absolutely right.
By: J Boyle - 6th May 2013 at 16:51
In 50 years it will be legal and accepted as a life choice.

Punished for breaking the law I should have thought, then it shouldn’t take too much “counselling” to explain what was wrong.
By: David Burke - 6th May 2013 at 15:14
What point would be community service be – they need some sort of councelling to understand what they did was wrong . Their actions didn’t have any effect on anyone else apart from bringing shame on their family.
By: charliehunt - 6th May 2013 at 12:21
Custody is pointless but a good dose of community service would have been more appropriate. What a miserable pair of morons!

Yes I know it was 18months old but read what happened to them!
By: charliehunt - 6th May 2013 at 10:36
Allowing for the fact that it was not reported in a “newspaper” if the basic facts are right I’d rather not know anymore.
By: AlanR - 6th May 2013 at 09:58
I suspect that there was a lot more to this story than was ever made public.
By: trumper - 6th May 2013 at 09:53
Humans are animals with basic animal instincts.We then add morals to our rules and lives which generally work.You go back in time -not too far in some places and sex amongst family members was pretty “normal” .Many a true word spoken in jest about the villages in the Fens [and of course elsewhere in the country] . What’s the saying a standing prick has no conscience.
These youngsters obviously aren’t the full ticket and need help .
Regarding Andys post above,i think i will go to prison.I’ve had enough of getting up at stupid o’clock in the morning,not seeing the family some days and having to put up with the great unwashed .

Looking at that photo, I can’t help wondering if they have “Learning Difficulties”

Well that sort of thing has always gone on somewhere or other.
What really p*sses me off much more on a bank holiday Monday morning is the sight of this skanky ***t getting off so lightly.
The multi-millionaire Lib Dem may on his release, devote himself to championing green issues. He is also thought to be writing a book.
All I can say to that is that I won’t be rushing to the local book shop to waste money on that sh*t.
