The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Anarchy in the UK!

Apparently these people need to get their head out of their asses and into a history book. To look and what happened the last time a church was handed large amounts of political power.

The archbishop of Canterbury has ZERO political powers. He floated the idea of Sharia law being recognised as part of the UK's justice system and has been roundly criticised by everyone. IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

As opposed to America where they dont shut down my internet, just fine me 1.5 million every time I do it?

I think I like the rules over there better.

which in all reality you will NEVER have to pay back.

It is one thing to have a judgment against you, it is quite another for them to enforce it though the courts and collect.

How much have the Goldman's collected from OJ?
How many women fight to get child support?
How many people get sued in small claims and yet never pay.

where as turning off your internet permanently is a flick of the switch.

uhh no, that didn't happen and that's not what would happen if things went ahead.

You're right, anarchy is a far too optimistic result to hope for if things "went ahead".

uhh, what?

There would be no Anarchy. There would be no "sharia laws integrated into UK's Legal system"

I meant that anarchy would be preferable to having "sharia laws integrated into UK's Legal system".


It has not been suggested by anyone to do that.

I hate to split hairs here, but the Archbishop of Canterbury is still technically a person. I'm glad you're so optimistic, but you've literally said the exact same thing three times. Positive reinforcement?
