Interesting. But the following quotation from National Secular Society human rights lead Dr Alejandro Sanchez is disappointing, to put it mildly. I know from campaigning against MGM at Speakers’ Corner over a number of years that Muslim males (both men and boys) are profoundly ignorant about the issue (Jewish males tended to be more knowledgeable about the harm but were nonetheless committed to it, including secular Jews, ironically). It follows that Muslim boys would inevitably bow to pressure to be circumcised.

“Boys must be protected from ritual circumcision until they are old enough to decide for themselves whether they wish to undergo the procedure.”

Would Mr Sanchez have stated the following? Surely not.

“Girls must be protected from ritual circumcision until they are old enough to decide for themselves whether they wish to undergo the procedure.”

Interesting. It includes this appalling paragraph in relation to Richard Reeves, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of Of Boys and Men:

Reeves warns against relying on the conventional wisdom, saying that “if there’s a problem, there has to be a villain.” He says we can’t blame either feminism or the women’s movement for the challenges men face. “This is definitely not the fault of women …”

Our thanks to John for this. The end of the piece:

It [J4MB: The panel’s report] added: “The panel found that Mrs Clark had demonstrated a fair and objective understanding of the nature and gravity of her misconduct and had demonstrated steps that she had taken, including additional safeguarding training, to avoid the risk of a repetition of such conduct in the future.”

Decision maker, David Oatley, said: “I have agreed with the panel that there are extensive mitigating factors present in this case [J4MB emphasis: extensive mitigating factors for visiting a spa while being paid to work from home?!!!] and that there is a strong public interest in retaining Mrs Clark in the profession. For these reasons, I have concluded that a prohibition order is not proportionate or in the public interest.”

Our thanks to Jeff for this very silly piece in the Mail (£). One of the co-writers is the gloriously named Samantha Brick, the writer of an article over 10 years ago about how utterly hopeless women are in the context of an all-female company. 6oodfella based a wonderful video on the article, A Harrowing (Hilarious) Tale Of An All-Female Staff (22:28).

Good to see the man jailed, albeit for only five years and seven months.
