To think UKIP have finally lost the plot?

Their "integration agenda" recently launched says that they propose to "Implement school-based medical checks on girls from groups at high risk of suffering FGM. These should take place annually and whenever they return from trips overseas".

So - if someone deems your unfortunate daughter to be a bit brown and at risk of FGM, she gets to have her genitalia checked every time you cross the channel. Lovely.

Fascinating that Nuttall hid from journalists after the launch rather than answer questions about it.

I couldn't hide my rage when I read this. Disgusting. They have really lost the plot with this one!

[toffee1000]

Only just lost the plot...??

[RaptorInaPorkPieHat]

Well I'm not sure they ever had the plot to begin with, but yes, this is certainly a new low.

[KenAdams]

No words

[AwaywiththePixies27]

YABU to think they've only just lost the plot. They never had it ti begin with

[wasonthelist]

It's terrible that they are so crass, because there are issues to be addressed. Just not like this.

[originalbiglymavis]

Have they merged with the Monster Raving Looney Party then? What with that and the gorillas...

[BillSykesDog]

That's awful. They couldn't do it without consent anyway.

I do think it might be worth identifying at risk girls and educating them about it though. A lot of them are keen to do it and so don't speak up but might be more willing to do so if educated on the risk. I don't know if this happens anyway. Girls should be empowered to say no.

So check to see if a poor girl had been mutilated against her wishes to achieve what exactly? Absolutely disgusting party.

[Ceto]

Somehow only a bunch of inherently sleazy people could conceivably think this was acceptable.

[wasonthelist]

Have they merged with the Monster Raving Loony Party then?

No - at least the Raving Loonies are funny - and oddly some of their policies have actually become law -

State-sanctioned sexual assault.

[originalbiglymavis]

Actually that was a bit mean. I quite liked them as light relief.

[Bangsheadontable]

I've typed and deleted a dozen vitriolic responses. They have always been insane, but only a group of men with bizarre sexual predilections and a sense of ownership over women's bodies could even conceive of this, let alone articulate it publicly. I fear for the women in their families.

[VladmirsPoutine]

One of them has also likened homosexuality to beastiality.

[RufusTheRenegadeReindeer]

cool Are you accusing posters here of 'virtue signalling ' or UKIP

[Bangsheadontable]

Cooljazz. Examining the genitals of girls because they a) are of colour and b) have travelled isn't "doing something about FGM", it's state sponsored sexual assault devised by perverted and racist men.

[toffee1000]

CoolJazz seriously?? But UKIP are basically advocating looking at a girls' genitalia. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES is that EVER ok. Ever.

[cowgirlsareforever]

I was very angry that they want to ban the burqa. How dare they tell women what they can and can't wear! This however is abominable!

[Ginmakesitallok]

Let's assault girls to check whether they've been assaulted....

[mirime]

What do they think should be done if a girl refused?

[Batgirlspants]

It's utterly distasteful and disgusting.

however we do need far far tougher action against FGM and far less brushing it under the carpet.
