Yeah, as someone living here, this is nonsense. We put violent rioters in prison. Punishing criminals does not violate freedom; it's a condition for it.
Well, let me tell you a little story I witnessed, indirectly. A Christian woman named Hatun Tash uses her own Qur'an for debates at Speaker's Corner, had it stolen by a Muslim, and the cops arrested her, instead of the perpetrator. It took a Christian activist group to get the police to admit their injustice, and she was compensated for it. Being a good Christian, instead of keeping the money for herself, she gave it to the Christian activist group that cleared her name. The UK is Marxist in culture. The English can't be proud, for it offending the Scots and the Welsh. Talking about Anglo-Saxon history and culture is white supremacy. Higher learning institutions give no credit to Anglo-Saxon contributions to the word, with debates often about oppression from the British. I heard of Sharia Law being legally imposed or accepted by British authorities; the two tier policing system.
lol
So, you're saying there was a slight miscarriage of justice which, on appeal, was rectified? I'm sorry there was a problem but, by your own account, it was fixed.
The UK cannot be both Marxist and living under Sharia law; they're diamatrically opposed. In fact, no where is Sharia law legally imposed, whatever you may have heard.
It is not true that you can't be 'proud' of being 'English'. There is a St. George's Day parade in many towns and cities, including London, where it is led by Sadiq Khan, the mayor, who is both proudly Muslim and proudly English. Like most people, he sees no contradiction.
It is not true that talking about Anglo-Saxon culture is considered white supremacy. Schools and universities talk a great deal about figures from Shakespeare to Alan Turing to Millicent Fawcett (I'm picking three examples at random) all of whom were Anglo-Saxon. No one feels the need to point this out, because it would be fucking weird, but like all cultures everywhere, we mostly talk about people from our own culture. The idea this is banned or frowned upon is imaginary.
Slight miscarriage? She was thrown in jail based on no evidence. This 5'2" lady has been beaten and attacked with a knife and no suspects caught, but apparently, a Muslim stealing her Qur'an gets handcuffs on her. She was even told that Muslims are a protected class and she can't debate them in Speaker's Corner.

Tom Holland, a writer, and historian of popular history complains as well that he is silenced from talking about English history, instead, he is pressured to talk about the other wonderful cultures as a public figure.
How can you be an indirect witness? You either saw something or you didn't.
No, pretty sure this is a capitalist country. Care to explain further?
Who did you hear this from? Where and when was it imposed? Because I heard they've got Muslamic ray guns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIPD8qHhtVU

The funny thing is, that Sharia "Law" isn't really law, according to British legal experts. UK is a capitalist economy. The culture is quite Marxist. Marxism isn't an economic system. Socialism and communism are theoretical economic systems that never passed the stink test.
From your first link:
"The council has no legal authority in the UK and cannot enforce any penalties; "
Muslims follow their religious leaders like Christians follow their church ministers. Neither have legal powers.
What is legal by British law does not matter to Sharia. Just like Mormons with multiple wives. It is illegal, or not legal, by federal and state laws, but that does that stop Mormons from having multiple wives and grooming children for marriage? No. British Muslims turning to Sharia Law shows they are not assimilating and think British laws are inadequate, which is what the article suggests. I had a conversation with a Muslim who disagrees with US laws and thinks Sharia Laws are better. Sharia Laws are interpreted by elders or leaders of the community. Islam is very heavy in laws and their laws are not based on John Locke, or Immanuel Kant, or whatever.
Claiming Muslims follow their religious laws even when illegal is completely different from your original claim that Sharia law is being legally imposed by British authorities.
I didn't say by British authorities. What is your definition of British authorities? The British Imams? Well, they are British and they are authority figures. Prove me wrong.
You claimed, "legally imposed". Muslim religious leaders have no legal authority as your own link proved.
You say that, but honor killings keep happening.
Yes a religious group condoned murder. The OP claimed it is legal. "Sharia Law is being legally imposed." Is a lie.
And I'm not fooled by the "I heard" he added to the front of his statement to attempt to dodge personal responsibility for promoting the lie.
The murders are investigated, and those responsible are found guilty and jailed.
If the UK were Marxist, Muslims would be banned- as would Christians.
Again, not Marxist.
