UK, you’re going Muslim, so why bother with courts of law?

Your local lying Imam will take care of things for you.

It’ll be sorta like the Queen of Hearts for Alice, “Off with their heads.”

You are so screwed...unless.....

Just formalizing what is already a reality. The courts are owned by the communists and the highest bidder already. Maybe they can have the private companies issue stock and have the kickbacks go to the investors.
