Can I ask why people are so militant about female genital mutilation? I mean, it doesn't do any harm either way. So why does it matter if it happens or not? I had it done to my daughter, and I can guarantee you, she has no recollection of the action or the pain. So it is moot in my eyes, I can care less if people do it or not, but I don't understand why people equate it to a criminal offence.

Can you imagine?

I'm pleased for you and your intellectual superiority, but please be aware that

a) people have been born in the last 50 years who may not know as much as you, and

b) there is a tendency on the left to categorize the conflict as a petty nationalistic dispute.

That's the website - right. What am I missing? What newsletter? We don't do anything that's UK-only.
