Not all polygamous relationships are "illegal" in the UK as this parliamentary briefing note confirms: "For a polygamous marriage to be considered valid in the UK, the parties must be domiciled in a country where polygamous marriage is permitted, and must have entered into the marriage in a...

We may be splitting hairs, however halal and Islamic finance are 2 examples where sharia is embedded into uk law. Polygamy is illegal in the UK but is recognised if performed in a state where polygamy is legal. Further, whether the state seeks to actively pursue polygamous relationships is...

It will be tolerated because it is being tolerated........it is not being stamped out. The report indicates that polygamous marriage under sharia is widespread.........the findings being the "tip of the iceberg". And if you don't think sharia laws do not have any equivalence under UK law you...

The report's evidence and the foreword by Baronness Cox indicates it is a significant issue now. Nothing has happened since the debates in the Lords and nothing will until the state decides to deal with it; in the meantime polygamy under sharia law will be tolerated despite it being illegal...

I don't follow, the "evidence" gathered sets out a number of examples summarised in the article where the principles of sharia law were operating de facto in relation to polygamous marriage. If the "evidence" is correct then polygamous marriage under sharia law is alive and well in the UK...

This bullshit was recently debated in the Houses of Lords........ http://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2014/12/new-report-on-uk-sharia-marriages-exposes-tip-of-the-iceberg

How many of that increase in British nationals going to prison are new British citizens? Since 2000 there has been over 2m British passports given away to foreigners..............which takes them off the immigrant balance sheet and puts them on the British national balance sheet. Unless we...

Sure, however its harder for unions to fight for higher pay when employers can ship in workers from the 3rd world. If the NHS was an ethical employer it would not strip India and African nations of their precious health workers and would not encourage this migration by dealing with agencies...

Yours haven't.......do you agree with Corbyn on TTIP or not? Remember TTIP is about the privatisation of state assets and operational concerns (like the NHS)...........socialists would be opposed, neo liberals would not. Further, TTIP is being negotiated by the unelected EU commission not the...

You may need more information, however the fundamentals are that wages for nurses will only improve if the bottomless well of health workers currently being stripped out of 3rd world countries by the NHS is turned off. For a developed westen country like the UK to undermine health services in...

I don't doubt your anecdote, I will give you one of my own. I know of a nurse who retired from the NHS as soon as she was eligible and was re-hired within the month so she can add her pay to her retirement income. I know of a copper who has done the same, and both indicated to me that it is...

The evidence would indicate more young people than ever want to be nurses........ http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ed-miliband-promises-10000-more-british-nurses--to-reduce-reliance-on-foreigners-10006538.html...

Where have I mentioned the EU in this exchange? In your link it continues into the disadvantages of this prevailing position so remmitance is not a one way street for the economic success and benefit of the Phillipines. This from the International Labour Organisation on Phillipine Health...

I dont think I am. The poorest Filipinos have an infant mortality rate of 42 per 1,000 births, compared with 19 per 1,000 births among the rich, according to a concept paper presented at a UP forum on universal health care last year...

In these days of international solidarity and concern for all humanity I am not sure that allowing some to "get ahead" is the moral approach. Only today its been reported that the NHS is concerned about not being able to recruit staff from outside the EU, and they want to be exempted from the...

I think there is a fair bit of infrastructure the Germans need to develop following Merkel's generous offer to the Syrians. http://www.arabianbusiness.com/saudi-offers-build-200-mosques-in-germany-for-syrian-refugees-605755.html I think this contribution by Saudi Arabia to help Germany out is...

I don't think so, one of the most grating aspects of Bellotti was his arrogance, and not least what many BHA felt about the direction of the club didn't matter. His comment about BHA fans to "stop whining" (after Bournemouth away I think) summed this up. He knew best, we all just had to lump...

I guess its more likely to be inevitable if we take in thousands of people that we have no understanding about their background. In contrast it's less likely if you don't take in anyone. I would further argue that any national Govt's primary responsibility is always to protect its citizens'...

Which murderers? As I understand it you saying the 2 murderers who beheaded Lee Rigby are no different from any other murderers? Feel free to correct me if I have that wrong.........

You made that point by referring to a bacon sandwich and in rising to your challenge I provided a link to an article explaining the difficulties Pork Farmers in France are suffering as a consequence of the EU sanctions on Russia. A problem so acute it is challenging the core principles of the...
