I don’t know about you but I think the UK was a much better place BEFORE we imported those who carry out female genital mutilation (FGM). Let’s just remind ourselves of the savagery involved here.
Female genital mutilation is a procedure where parts of the external female genitals are cut, injured or removed for non‑medical reasons, and it is recognised internationally as a severe form of child abuse and a violation of human rights.
Got that?
Here in the UK, FGM is illegal; it is a specific criminal offence under the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 (and equivalent Scottish legislation). Anyone who performs FGM can face up to 14 years in prison. It is also illegal to take a girl or woman abroad to have FGM, to assist or encourage it in any way, or to help a girl perform FGM on herself, even if it is legal in the other country.
OK so for almost a quarter of a century it has been illegal. So how many have been prosecuted?
The answer – hardly any. A handful at best/
The first successful prosecution in the UK took place in February 2019, when a mother was convicted at the Old Bailey of carrying out FGM on her three‑year‑old daughter and was later sentenced to 11 years in prison.
Since then only a very small number of criminal FGM convictions have been secured in the UK; for 15 years there were no convictions at all, which was described by a parliamentary committee as a “national scandal”
This is not accidental.
NHS England recorded 14,355 attendances for women and girls with FGM in 2023-24, up 15% from 12,475 the previous year. So thousands of girls are enduring this barbarism and we arrest a handful of people. Why is this?
Well, the truth is that the communities in which this is carried out keep quiet about it. They choose not to go public and so a silence is maintained on the issue. What SORT of communities butcher their kids and keep schtum about it?
You won’t be surprised to know that FGM primarily affects migrant communities from countries where the practice is more prevalent, particularly in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. UK communities most at risk include those from:
-
Kenyan, Somali, Sudanese, Sierra Leonean, Egyptian, Nigerian, and Eritrean backgrounds.
-
Other high-prevalence origin countries: Somalia (98%), Egypt (87%), Sudan (87%), Sierra Leone (86%), Eritrea (83%), Gambia (76%), Ethiopia (65%).
-
Smaller risks from Ghana, Gambia, and some Middle Eastern or Asian groups with diaspora links.
These communities are concentrated in areas like London (highest rates in Southwark and Brent), Manchester, Slough, Bristol, Leicester, and Birmingham, but cases appear nationwide including rural areas.
The controversial question to ask is whether this is related to ISLAM!
Now we are told it is not mandated by Islam therefore it is more of a cultural practise than a religious practise. That may be true but it is also an inescapable observation that virtually all those girls butchered are Muslim. Draw your own conclusions.
The cliche goes “import the 3rd world, become the third world”
The update? Deport it.
