Revealed: Green party proposes circumcision ban.

Our thanks to Ian for this (Spectator, £). Extracts:

“The Green party is considering a new policy to ban circumcision, The Spectator can reveal. The party’s Health Policy Working Group (HPWG) has launched a consultation seeking views on whether parents should only be allowed to consent ‘to an irreversible surgical procedure on a child if that procedure is medically necessary’. The HPWG is also requesting opinions on whether ‘non-therapeutic male circumcision should only be performed on children who are old enough to make an informed choice’. [J4MB emphasis. Children cannot be ‘old enough’ to make an ‘informed choice’.]

The policy proposal, launched ahead of the Greens’ Autumn Conference, is likely to provoke significant division within Zack Polanski’s party. Circumcision is an integral part of Judaism, with Jewish boys traditionally undergoing a ‘brit milah’ on the eighth day after birth. It is also a common procedure in the Muslim faith. Russell Langer, Director of Public Affairs at the Jewish Leadership Council, said: ‘Circumcision is a vital part of Jewish life and an essential link to our religion and heritage. This is also a practice shared with many of the Muslim faith. Any suggestion of a ban on circumcision will have a significant impact on our communities and the future of the UK as a tolerant society which respects freedom of religion and belief.’…

Responding to this year’s health consultation, the official Green Party Women group decried the proposal as ‘controversial and goes completely against stated need for cultural sensitivities’. [J4MB emphasis. Needless to say, the women wouldn’t take the same view on ‘cultural sensitivities’ in relation to FGM.]”

Our website Campaign for Merit in Business was created in the light of the considerable evidence of a causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate financial decline.

MEN STOP DRINKING – daily Zoom video meetings (reminder)

If you’re a man with a drinking problem and you’d like to be abstinent, you should check out my initiative Men Stop Drinking.

There are many routes from problem drinking to sobriety. The fastest and most effective option – the option I used myself – is disulfiram (Antabuse), a drug licensed by the FDA in 1951 (75 years ago). Paul Elam and I recently co-wrote a short book, ANTABUSE: The one-stage program for alcohol abstinence.

I host Zoom video meetings daily (Monday – Saturday) for men with drinking problems. They start at 7:00pm (19:00) GMT/UTC and last at least an hour. Details of the philosophy behind the meetings, and guidelines for them, can be found here. You can join the meetings by clicking here.

The meeting time has been chosen to give convenient access to men living in the UK and other European countries, and as far west as the Pacific coast of the United States.
