Five sharia courts have been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester and Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The government has quietly sanctioned that their rulings are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court. Previously, the rulings were not binding and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims.
Lawyers have issued grave warnings about the dangers of a dual legal system and the disclosure drew criticism from Opposition leaders.
Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, said: "If it is true that these tribunals are passing binding decisions in the areas of family and criminal law, I would like to know which courts are enforcing them because I would consider such action unlawful. British law is absolute and must remain so."...

Just so! And as God has Written
21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man,
And has condemned them thus....
[24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator....
And for a sign thus....
[26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections.....
Since the 60's the parties have all moved into a realm of merging or blending political ideology into one single dimension. It is a form of liberalising authority to remove the traditional leadership previously inherent within westminster, (etc), in Britain. This is also happening in other areas of society, eg judiciary. A programme on Radio 4, noted that if you looked at Westminsters work in the 1950's it related more to the overall running of the country, eg Defence, infrastructure etc. Today the parliament has its hands in every institution, like schools and hospitals to the detriment of same. The old localised "professional expertise" is administered in a bureaucratic way by modern political interference. Statesmanlike leadership is lost and not to be found in modern political party ideals. Look how difficult all three parties are experiencing to find a leader. But this is a sign of the times in all areas of society today in UK.
From a Christian perspective, it is a nation who has lost their way and God is not blessing them for it, why should He? They have dumped the Bible for human autonomy.

Where abouts is this place you call *Great* Britain, Jim?? What we really need over here is a new definition for Democracy, then a brain wash for all who dare to call themselves politician. Political leadership ended in UK four decades ago.

They may as well since Britain is getting rid of all authority, - political, judicial, social and of course moral.
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
