The UK government is a secular authority, our laws are founded on secularism and will remain secular. Sharia Law is not allowed and will never be allowed to become enforceable in the UK.

That does not mean that people cannot come to the UK and worship whichever god or gods or giant turtle they see fit.

I didn't say Sharia Law I said we would have a Prime Minister who is Muslim, bit like America saying there would never be a black President ... there are already a lot of Muslims who are local MP's

So what if there was a Muslim prime minister? He/she is hardly going to be an extremist type.

That's the one that really winds me up. There are plenty of Islamic states with sharia law. **** off and live in one of those if it means so much to you

One slight difference, 100% of us (Brits) have to work and add to the country. No work we go home with 0 help from any governments out here.

When was the last time a British Expat asked for asylum in an Arabic country?
