@DrChrisParry In the interest of open mindedness: what purpose and function does the Sharia court have? What powers of sanction?

Yep. We abolished religious courts 500 years ago.

808mm rain this year (farm average 600mm), with more than 1/2 of this since September. Farm is very wet! Probably a drought in 2024🤞🏼. Happy New Year all. 🎉🍺🤪
