The Home Secretary was on the telly this morning telling everyone not to worry, we won’t be having Sharia law in Brrritain. No, absolutely not. Apart from the bit about having four wives. Oh yeah, and the bits about Islamic banking and stuff. But apart from that no, we won’t be having Sharia Law.
You see, there’s a basic basic principle in Brrrritain, Ms Smith explained. Everyone in Brrrritain is subject to Brrrritish law and that there is one legal system in Brrritain – Brrrritish law.
How very reassuring. She certainly knows her stuff does Jacqui Smith. I mean, there’s no such thing as Brrrritish law and we’ve got 3 legal systems in Brrrritain – English, Scottish and Northern Irish – but that shouldn’t be taken as any indication that she’s a clueless fuckwit whose reassurances on Sharia Law aren’t worth the oxygen consumed in uttering them. Absolutely not.
Well, that’s me convinced.

Hmmm? “We’ve got 3 legal systems in Brrrritain – English, Scottish and Northern Irish”. I think you’re missing one vital third system, Wonko!
That should, of course, have read “fourth system”, rather than third. 🙂
Oh yes, *spit* European *spit* law.
Will Shariac laws not appeal to the ‘Bring Back the Birchers’?
Oh very reassuring of Jaqui Smith (not), I’ve lost faith in our leaders, and as for the Archbishop of Canterbury, I and many others will be losing our faith too.
