Not surprised, just look at the Royal family and a lot of brits.
Looking retarded and inbreeding goes together

I’m not advocating for cousin marriage but I thought the increased risk for offspring of cousins wasn’t really much higher than normal marriages. It’s brother/sister ones that are really high

This is false. They were related, but not that close.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were first cousins.

Did the King write the article?

I’ve seen in in immigrants in the US in a hospital (these immigrants would look at home in Birmingham UK if you get my drift).

I will never understand this board's fascination with immediately naming Alabama everytime cousin marriage is brought up.
When Oklahoma played Alabama in the 2014 Sugar Bowl, my wife and I ended up on the morning of the game at Happy's Irish Pub on Poydras just down the street from the stadium.
We had been there the night before for a private party, so it was familiar.
Bama fans greatly outnumbered Sooner fans that morning. I got into a conversation with a father and his son.
I was a little drunk, and I asked them "Is it true that you guys marry your cousins?". It just slipped out.
About that time, I got the feeling I was about to get my arse beat. But they both laughed about it and ended up buying my wife and I shots.
I know, cool story, bro.

Don’t think that’s right. They were both descendants of Queen Victoria, but I don’t think they were first cousins. But there is no question that the inbreeding has fricked up that particular line.
They were 3rd cousins on one side of the family (both were Queen Victoria's great-great grandchildren) and 2nd cousins, once removed on another side (Danish royals).
I would be remiss if I didn't remind folks that, before the U.S. Civil War, cousin marriage was relatively unregulated in the United States. Most folks never/rarely traveled more than 30 miles from where they were born. Communities were much smaller. If you wanted to get married and have children back then, you had to at least consider distant cousins as potential mates and many did (I mean, do the math). First cousin is a high risk proposition, however, and a high risk roll in the genetic lottery.
In extremis, if few/other options were available, more distant than 2nd cousin would be a reasonable guideline to maintain some sort of genetic diversity within a family tree.

Pakistanis in the UK have a high inbreeding rate. So the media is doing insane things to make the Muslim invaders seem normal or good.

Yeah, wasn’t it great when Queen Victoria married all her daughters to related European Royalty and introduced hemophilia to all the royal bloodlines?

Brits had seemingly moved past this. Immigrants haven’t.
I’m seeing it in US hospital.

I was responding to the person who claimed that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were first cousins. They weren't.
By the way, first cousin marriage is fully legal in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and several other states.
It is a felony in Oklahoma.
