Hit and run - four months in jail and no deportation

I'll just add that my visit was more of a success. Now just waiting on checks coming back from Interpol (in case I'm one of those UK extremists intent on blowing up anything that isn't British)

Sharia was one, plus the many trying to convert us to islam....

I had that the other day, these 2 guys turned up on my door and tried to convert me to some crackpot religion. The Church of Scotland they called it. Never heard such a load of nonsense in my life.

Why are you afraid of someone else's opinion? Why are you offended that someone has faith and would like others to share it? Are you offended by TV adverts trying to convert you to Tescoism?

As for sharia law- as some people alluded to, the UK already recognises religious "courts", in the form of the beth din. They can't overrule UK law, and they're purely voluntary- both parties must consent to it, so if either party doesn't want it, they have no power at all. They have no involvement in criminal matters at all. In fact, they fill the exact same role as ACAS and other conciliation services. This is what is being proposed for the so-called sharia courts.

But muslims are scarier than jews obviously so what's fine for one is terrifying and unacceptable and a threat to our way of life

Ban religion, punishable by being left in a ditch with your head laying by your feet, to die.

Forget religion being to blame. People would just find something else with which to create division.

Ban that as well, and ban bananas too.

You just wait until they gang up and take over. The entire basis of our civilisation and way of life will be destroyed.
All forms of bacons will be banned. You'll have to buy it from your crack dealer.

Sliced banana in porridge = oooft

im happy with the idea that you slice your bananas as opposed to eat the whole whilst cupping a pair of kiwi fruit like every other banana fan.

(also, how fun is typing banana?)

Agree in a way, however I don't want it shoved down my throat, plus if I went to a Muslim country and started preaching Christianity what would happen...bar an influx of stones...if we are to listen and accept there faith, they should be equally recepirical of ours...

Nothing is being shoved down your throat, I've never had anyone trying to convert me to anything. Do you have bunches of Jehovahs Musllims knocking on your door?
And what's this 'ours'?
I think religion is a crock of poo, and judging from church attendence figures, so do the majority of people.

Just to butt in

4 months is harsh, if you're related to Cilla Black you only get a £250 fine.

"Ours"?

As for the rest of it... Depends on the country. Islam is officially tolerant of christianity since they also worship the god of abraham, properly practicing christians are "people of the book" not infidels. Sure, in some places you'll be in big trouble but that's because of xenophobia and religious intolerance, not specifically to do with islam- there are places in the world where you'd get a shoeing for preaching any religion other than the one held.

And besides all that- since when was "These guys are dicks, therefore it's OK for us to be dicks too" a good argument? We're better than that.

As far as I'm concerned you've hit the nail on the head. We have a winner.
As a side note I sorted out the details for my ID card here (everyone has to have one). Will have it in my hands next week....conplete with pic of me with a kick ass beard (showing the natives how to do facial hair!!)

I have pointed out before that I have been booed by over 400 people in Brazil who thought I was English...who then cheered when I informed them I was Scottish.

That's international reputations for you (surreal experience though)

Wales and it's mountains are fine, it's the Welsh that are the problem.

Should put them all in Rhyl and build a big wall around it.
