FGM: 1,026 new cases in 3 month in the UK

This is already done. So is the status quo all that is needed? If not, what else can we add?

Accept that it's a facet of Pakistani and African culture and be more pro-active about it.

Also, counter to what Greyblades said a lot of Pakistanis are actually Indo-Iranian, ethnically speaking, so they don't qualify as "brown" - and Greyblades needs to stop incorrectly applying an American racial slur, too.

Whatever you did with the Welsh, Scots, Cornish, and Irish seemed to work for some time.

That must be why the Welsh will refuse to speak English to the English in Wales just to be perverse, why the Scots just held a referendum on breaking up the UK, why the Welsh set fire to English holiday homes and why the Irish have been killing the "English" and each over for the past hundred years.

Oh... wait...

Don't even get me STARTED on the Cornish.

Firstly: flippancy, look it up.
Second, American racial slur? The hell? Saying black and white people is just acceptable terminology but brown people is a slur? And since when was the term Pakistan specific?

That's why I said for some time. Now, the Welsh are reverting back to using Welsh, but that means they used to speak English a lot in the past.

Because until the 1960's the only language not allowed to be spoken in law courts was Welsh. All other language speakers could get a translator whilst Welsh speakers would get fined with contempt of court if they spoke their language.

It is only in the last fifty years that a lot of bans on speaking or writing or learning Welsh have been lifted.

Learn to understand the hatred, then live through it.

Better yet, live in a better country.

In other news, I see the Catalan politicians have "SNP disease", they belief that gaining a majority in the legislature means people wants independence.

In other news, I see the Catalan politicians have "SNP disease", they belief that gaining a majority in the legislature means people wants independence.

But unlike Scotland, they'd be in a better financial position than Spain generally - Scotland requires oil to be at $100+ for some time to come unless they find sudden sources of revenue post-independence.
