British Welfare System Recognizes Sharia Law 

If British courts capitulate to Sharia, at least they’ll have company.  The government is already waving the surrender flag for taxpayers:

The British government has cleared the way for husbands with multiple wives to claim welfare benefits for all their partners, fueling growing controversy over the role of Islamic Shariah law in the nation’s cultural and legal framework. 

That’s right.  Even though bigamy isn’t legal in England, the nanny state will still sign checks for the entire household.  Wouldn’t do to offend after all.

If BBC programming is any indication of British culture, the battle is already over Sahri’a might be an improvement.

Now they’re turning off street lights across the…England, after midnight to meet “energy targets”. A figura ative and literal Dark Age is under way.
