Flexible Approach to Law

You may have noticed that the Archbishop of Canterbury has recently suggested that British law could be made to have a more flexible approach toward religious nuance. While many people have ranted and raved at the mention of Islamic Law few people managed to contemplate what the Old Bish actually suggested which was, in my view at least, a relatively mild alteration of the view of law in order to cater more for matters of religious conscience which differ from the broadly Christian ethic that most British law is based on. As a basic idea, I see nothing wrong with this except that if such flexibility was to allow for cultural nuance rather than merely religious nuance it would make more sense within the modern democratic framework of upholding the rights of minorities.

But, of course, this frightens many people into thinking that the law would become too fragmented with a world full of people with their own ideas of what laws should govern them. It doesn't have to be very complicated; you set criteria which governs what flexibility is allowed and as long as the claiment's preference does not fall outside the criteria then it is valid in law. You don't necessarily have to keep extensive records of all sorts of differing ideas.

Some law already works in this way despite claims that there can be no flexibility where "core values" are concerned; unfortunately for those that claim this, they are already in error.

And on the subject of Christian values, I am not a Christian(or a muslim) and would prefer my government to be based from secular concerns while catering for religious and cultural differences as far as is practicle, instead of things being the other way around.

Wildlife Corridors

Wildlife corridors are belts of land which join one reasonable patch of habitat to another. There should be far more effort in producing and suitably managing these corridors. Also, there should be viable patches of habitat dotted around all large areas of farmed land.

These areas of wildlife habitat do not have to be redundant; they could be farmed, sustainably, and therefore benefit both the human community and the local wildlife.

You may feel the need to steal land from other animals but you do not have to steal it all!!!!!

Marriage Contracts

There is a growing debate in Britain about the Law governing couples, married or otherwise. I may have a solution!?

Turn marriage ceremonies into a non-legally binding event and create Domestic Contracts and Emotional Contracts. Domestic Contracts would cover money, belongings and residence etc while Emotional Contracts would cover other issues. This is not properly thought through so may require revision!

Prison

There is far too much emphasis on punishment and there are nowhere near enough constructive opportunities for those in prison. For the majority of people sent to British prisons the system does not work.

Single cell accommodation was invented many years ago: where is it now?

Why should prisoners be discouraged from attending classes and groups which are available by being paid more for doing work activities?

Perhaps many people who are sent to conventional prisons would benefit from being somewhere more useful to both themselves and the public in general.

Prisons need to be successes, not failures.

More positivity, More proactivity!

Village Life

The village concept is better.

No more sprawling monotony!
