Wow I never knew it was so long ago.
Glad something is being done about it.
Next step male genital mutilation.
I hope so!Wow I never knew it was so long ago.

Next step male genital mutilation.
I guess men should just get used to being second class citizens.

You are either a female with issues or a male with a lack of something else.

We know that FGM goes on.
Why don't we therefore have legislation that says 'f
k the cultural fallout, your child will be checked by a doctor at age xx and you will be prosecuted it they are found to have been mutilated'?
How would this be in any way more intrusive than the 'cough' test?
Sounds good to me. There may be an issue with establishing where it was done. If you check the girl at say aged 12, the family have probably had several holidays back to family Sudan/Egypt etc and could claim it was done whilst over there.Why don't we therefore have legislation that says 'f

I doubt you could prosecute them for doing something legal in a foreign country just because it's illegal here. In the same way I couldn't be prosecuted in the UK for doing 140 on the autobahn.
But that issue aside, yes, check the girls and bang up the parents.

We have legislation stopping sex tourism, so copy and paste that.

the zionist politico-military-industrial complex won't allow that , whereas FGM is done by those dirty muslims
</tinfoil hat mode> ( see hypocrsiy over Halal vs Kosher)
there is no indication for routine male circumcision and it's certainly not the norm in the UK although I understand that it is still considered the norm in the US .
while MGM is not as destructive as FGM it does cause nerve damage and serve no valid clinical or hygiene purpose.

What's your problem? I thought crimes going unpunished was a bad thing or are there other parameters that need fulfilling?You are either a female with issues or a male with a lack of something else.
Please ignore, my bad.

That's different to visiting a country and doing something there that's completely legal, although illegal here. Can you be prosecuted for it back here? Maybe you can. Be interesting to know.

It is illegal for a British Citizen or Resident to carry out FGM or cause/help to be carried out and doesn't matter where it is/was carried out.Martin4x4 said:

just a shame all the PH sociopathslibertarains would rather dismantle the NHS and schools health provisions that might just be able to achieve this in a none coercive manner.
How does that work then? Is this the mechanism by which any health professional who isn't directly suckling from the public tit loses all his morals?otolith said:

Is this the mechanism by which any health professional who isn't directly suckling from the public tit loses all his morals?There is no inherent reason why the NHS should be a direct provider of health care but dismantling the free at the point of equal access systme or marginalising it in an US American style system where the primary survery is Wallet Airway Breathin Circulation ( and no EMTALA requirement for a medicla screening exam and initial life saving first aid traetments does NOT provide a safety net of care )...
I don't see anybody proposing stopping healthcare being free at the point of use, not even those who think state funded health care should use private sector providers. The only calls for charging I've come across are from a few GPs who think a small charge for an appointment would deter the time-wasters, but I don't think any of the major parties support that idea (and I doubt much of PH would either, once they realised that only middle class people would have to pay it).

The only people who ever mention doing away with free at the point of use healthcare are Labour, who make baseless claims that it's the Tories' wicked plan to do so.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
