That’s a child protection not a legal problem. This PMB encourages views my FGM as ‘exceptional’ in safeguarding which is arguably racist and will lead to further stigmatisation.

@NimkoAli @ChrisJames_90 @carriesymonds @ZacGoldsmith @PennyMordaunt @cj_dinenage @MichaelBerkele2 @claireperrymp @jessphillips @JohnnyMercerUK @sajidjavid Please read these and consider whether there really is a need for more laws. bmj.com/content/364/bm…. And this google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theg…

@FinancialTimes @ClareGerada But they're all Remainers and have joined yesterday's eight (from Labour) united against Brexit. That's not the kind of caring I'd loose sleep over.

@EveningStandard removed my comment questioning @ShaunBaileyUK & @NimkoAli's proposal to establish a register of girls 'at risk' of FGM. I suggested it might be racist. Wonder how long today's comment will last? standard.co.uk/news/london/to…

@EveningStandard obvs disliked my published comment in response to @ShaunBaileyUK that a register was needed for girls 'at risk' of #FGM and removed it. Why? Is his blatantly racist suggestion really that unquestionable and unchallengeable? standard.co.uk/news/london/to…
