This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
While everyone else is watching the stock market imitate a yo-yo the most important story of the day will go unnoticed by almost all. The home of the Magna Carta, The Glorious Revolution, John Locke’s treatise on the Rights of Man and that greatest of all political philosophers Edmund Burke has decided to very quietly start the repeal of Western Civilization: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article4749183.ece
ISLAMIC law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases.
The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence.
Thus does the Rights of Man die, with no one even noticing. To paraphrase myself economies go up, economies go down but surrendering Western Civilization is forever.
Although the wolf is at the civil government door, I’m grateful our Constitution is written down — unlike, our English cousins, whose constitution is unwritten and subject to the majority foolish in the House of Commons. Thank Ben Franklin, and many other great founders.
