Listening to www.2gb.com.au at the moment (think 'Gauntie' on Talksport) and the announcer is working himself up as I write.

Gordon Brown's spokesman said the prime minister "believes that British laws should be based on British values".
So Canon Law was/is British.......................

Re: Shariah Law in the UK is "unavoidable"....
On of the counter arguments being put forward is that Shariah courts already operate within the Muslim community here. The rulings of the Imams are observed by the petitioners - eg in marital & financial disputes - and the affairs are settled without the intervention of UK law, and without UK law being broken...

Is there such a thing as British Law? Surely it's either UK or Scots???

UK Law for what used to be 'central govt'. Devolved issues.....more parochial.
Statutory speaking
You know it anyway....are you taking too much scrumpy and listening to the Wurzels?

Re: Shariah Law in the UK is "unavoidable"....
more to the point even though sharia law is observed by the communities here it holds no legal standing in the uk courts... for instance a divorce goes through the imam... it still has to go through a civil court to actually be legal...
so it's kind of like getting the parents blessing before asking for their daughters hand in marriage... not legally necessary but it helps
