Our thanks to Sean for this. An excerpt:

Pupils said the idea for the protest came from the head teacher, who originally made the suggestion, although one student said he did not think she was being serious.

They said they hoped the school would reconsider its shorts policy as a result of the protest and the head has indicated it might be considered.

Ms Mitchell said: “We recognise that the last few days have been exceptionally hot and we are doing our utmost to enable both students and staff to remain as comfortable as possible.

“Shorts are not currently part of our uniform for boys and I would not want to make any changes without consulting both students and their families.

“However, with hotter weather becoming more normal, I would be happy to consider a change for the future.”

Our thanks to Tim for alerting us to a piece published 16 hours ago on the Notts Police Facebook page. It reads:

Three arrested in child circumcision investigation

Officers investigating the circumstances surrounding a circumcision conducted on a child in July 2013 have arrested three people today (Wednesday 21 June 2017).

A 61-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent.

A 44-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm.

They have all been released pending further investigation.

Our enquiries are ongoing.

The maximum penalty for GBH with intent under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 is life imprisonment.

Now why might Notts Police have published this on its FB page? Perhaps to get a sense of public interest? We invite you to post your comments on the FB page and help leave Notts Police in no doubt about public interest in the matter. Thanks.

In the wake of Cassie Jaye’s The Red Pill, we look forward to another film we believe will make waves, American Circumcision. Release is planned for later this year. If the production values of this trailer (video, 2:31) are anything to go by, it will surely be a major success.
