@MichaelBerkele2 @NimkoAli @ChrisJames_90 @carriesymonds @ZacGoldsmith @PennyMordaunt @cj_dinenage @claireperrymp @jessphillips @JohnnyMercerUK @sajidjavid Maddison lists ONE court case that Social Services (unusually) was not involved with?

@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…
