THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Attorney General sends warning to EU that is must play within the rules

The European Union is “subverting” the rules in its attempts to intervene in matters that should always be decided by the UK, the Government's top law officer has warned.

Dominic Grieve, the Attorney General, warned that EU attempts to seize ever-greater powers from member states like Britain are damaging the Continent’s prosperity and alienating its population.

Mr Grieve warned the EU that the UK “will not shy away” from taking legal action to protect its interests.

He said he has been “astonished” by recent EU attempts to grab new powers over the British justice system and accused Brussels institutions of “seeking to reduce the freedom of action of sovereign member states”.

Speaking in Brussels, Mr Grieve said that “the UK plays by the rules and we expect others to do so too”. » | Peter Dominiczak, Political Correspondent | Monday, December 02, 2013

Government Has Neglected Threat of Radicalisation, Says Grieve
THE GUARDIAN: Shadow home secretary says government has been 'lax on fanatical preachers, silent on sharia courts'

The government was accused today by the Conservatives of being "silent" on sharia courts, which must be given no authority over criminal and family law matters in Britain.

Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, made the criticism as he warned that the government has neglected the threat of radicalisation.

"For all its tough talk on terrorism, the government is dropping the ball on security and radicalisation," Grieve said.

"Lax on fanatical preachers. Silent on sharia courts. Let me make our position clear. Sharia courts can be given no authority over criminal and family law matters in Britain. Our law must reign supreme. The next Conservative government will make sure it does."

Grieve, who told the Guardian last week that multiculturalism has downplayed the identity of "long-term inhabitants" and failed to provide a coherent identity for second and third generation immigrants, believes that sharia courts can have a role. He likens them to the Jewish Beth Din, which are acceptable because their rulings do not conflict with English law.

The shadow home secretary said that Jewish people are entitled to have "arbitration under Jewish customary law".

He added: "The same can perfectly properly comply to sharia law as long as the consequences are also not repugnant to English justice. That's very different from saying that you should allow sharia law to be applied to Muslims in Britain on say crime or domestic violence or anything else ... Somebody has been trying to suggest that they have that sort of imprimatur of respectability. And we have to be quite clear that we all live under one legal system."
