I can't apologize to those who reckon even discussing FGM (female genital mutilation) is racist and should be legalised in the UK, but I'll quite happily take the flak. I don't think there are any such-minded folk on Mumsnet, but I found two people in my office today who think it should be allowed in the UK for 'cultural reasons'.
Here's a news story covered widely today, though strangely not found on The Guardian site;
