I have a significant issue with Sharia Law being practiced in the UK. It should have no legal standing here. UK law is the law of the land. Until the UK incorporates Sharia it cannot be allowed to stand.
It can be used in cases of mediation in instances such as divorce (much like any other mediation service) AS LONG AS BOTH SIDES AGREE WITH IT BEING USED.
Now can you see how utterly stupid it is to even think for one second that Sharia Law exists above UK law?

No doubt the Mail, Telegraph or Times will be asking Chris Philp if he still believes the decision is "woke nonsense" as he claimed a few days ago.
What’s the delay on this one?

Or the only religious court to have statutory standing, the Church of England ecclesiastical courts.

Even back then I was appalled by its tabloid tendencies and propensity for gossip rather than news.
Commenting on it in the vain hope that people there will stop is pointless.
