99% of women and girls in Somalia have been mutilated in the following way: the clitoris is cut off, along with the inner labia. Then the inner flesh of the outer labia is removed before both sides are sewn tightly together, leaving a hole no bigger than a matchstick for urine and menses to trickle through.
All of this is done in childhood, and without any form of anesthesia whatsoever. Sometimes the little girl is given a scrap of leather or a stick to bite down on. The cutters use old razor blades, or sometimes a piece of broken glass.
This is only the beginning of a girl’s pain.
Most wedding nights in Somalia are aided by “the little knife” — that is, the new husband slices his bride open so that he can penetrate her now cut and bleeding scar tissue. Some men, however, simply batter their way through, tearing that tiny hole open by sheer force. When a woman goes into labor, she’s cut open more widely, then sewn back up afterwards so that when sex resumes she will have to be cut open yet again.
This practice leads to countless deaths from infection and a drastic increase in maternal mortality, but Somali men still refuse to marry uncut women, forcing mothers to have their daughters cut or face social stigma. Uncut girls are seen as dirty; the term for clitoris is a playground taunt in Somalia, and girls who are not cut are usually ostracized by their peers.
The Somali government recently debated the legality of this appalling custom, and the parliament largely split along gender lines. Female MPs roundly condemned FGM, while male MPs insisted that having a clitoris made a woman more difficult to penetrate, and quoted the hadith in which Muhammad condoned the practice. These are educated men who nevertheless claim that cutting a girl is necessary in order to control her sexuality, and that an uncut woman will be promiscuous and untrustworthy.
In spite of the Somali government’s continued support for FGM, foreign aid continues to flow into Somalia unobstructed. The West should refuse to give the Somali government so much as a single dollar until they outlaw FGM and take positive steps to combat the problem.
One tactic that has been highly successful involves showing Somali men a video of a girl being mutilated. Because FGM is seen as women’s business, most men have no idea what it entails. Men who watch this video are horrified, and the most common reaction has been “Not my daughter!” This proves that FGM is not hopelessly entrenched in Somali culture. Western pressure and resources could make an enormous difference in the lives of Somali women and girls, and put a stop to this barbaric practice.
@sharrond62 We need to stop tolerating this- no wonder children are confused.
What they need is love, boundaries and discipline.
Not an introduction to fetishes dressed up as normal.
Can we turn back the clock 30 years please?
Try making sunflower oil at home and you'll understand everything wrong with seed oil.
To make butter, you pour cream into a jar and shake it for ten minutes.
To make dripping, you roast a joint of beef. It makes itself.
To make olive oil, you crush olives and the oil runs out.
To make sunflower oil, you squeeze a sunflower seed as hard as you like, and nothing comes out.
Corn is about 4% fat. Nobody has ever bitten into a corn on the cob and had oil run down their chin.
To get oil out of seeds like these, a factory crushes them, washes them in a petrol-based solvent, cooks the solvent off, treats the oil with caustic soda, bleaches it with clay, then steams it at around 240 degrees until it stops smelling.
Every fat people ate for two million years could be made with your hands, a fire and a knife.
Seed oil needs a chemical plant and a fire certificate.
If your great-grandmother couldn't have made it in her kitchen, it has no business in yours.
🚨 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LUCY POWELL CAUGHT TAKING THOUSANDS FROM THE UAE GOVERNMENT!
Just in case you missed the latest Gulf money scandal taking over Downing Street, let me expose the latest politician caught in the web.
Education Secretary Lucy Powell pocketed 3,500 pounds in luxury hospitality paid directly by the United Arab Emirates government.
She also happily accepted free tickets on five separate occasions from Manchester City, the exact same football club Burnham protects from financial cheating charges.
Labour elites are raking in luxury foreign freebies while forcing brutal tax hikes onto working class families.
Retweet this immediately to expose the corrupt influence ring operating right inside the Burnham cabinet. 🇬🇧🔥
The only class of drug that ever cured anything is the one the industry walked away from.
Antibiotics cured. A course, a fortnight, a well patient who never came back. Pneumonia, sepsis, a scratch gone bad: the things that killed your great-grandparents at 40 became a week off work.
The last new class of antibiotic to reach a patient was discovered in 1987. Nothing since.
In 2016 AstraZeneca sold its antibiotics business. In 2018 Novartis shut its own down, and Sanofi followed. The biggest companies on earth left the one field in medicine with a 100% cure rate.
In 2018 a small company got a new antibiotic approved against a superbug the old ones could not touch. It went bankrupt within the year, because a drug that fixes a patient in ten days and is then put back on the shelf cannot pay for its own trial.
Resistance now kills more than a million people a year, more than malaria, more than HIV, and the pipeline is empty, because the spreadsheet says fill it with something taken for life.
So the same companies put the money into cholesterol, blood pressure, reflux, mood and weight. Conditions nobody is cured of. Drugs nobody stops.
A cure destroys its own market. A manager grows it. They read the two numbers and chose.
Every operation you will ever have depends on an antibiotic working. The industry decided that was not worth the money, and spent it on a tablet you take forever for a number.
The drug that works was shelved. The drug that manages was funded. The leaflet calls that healthcare.
The one cure still on the market is on your plate, and it is the thing on the plate with the warning.
FOLIC ACID:
If only 5% of men signed the petition it would currently be at 1,500,000signatures
If only 5% of people with stents signed it would be 85,000
If only 5% b12 deficiency signed it would be
152,000
Combined total: 1,600,200
Something very odd going on.
People have lost their fucking minds over food.
I honestly don’t care what anybody eats. Live on cereal, vegan sausages and oat milk if that’s what you want to do.
But don’t tell me that eating real food is the dangerous option.
I eat meat.
��That much red meat can’t be good for you.”
I eat eggs.
“Every day?!”
I cook in beef fat.
“You need to worry about your cholesterol.”
I don’t eat bread.
“You need carbohydrates for energy.”
I don’t eat fibre.
“You must shit bricks.”
Apparently I’m about three fry-ups away from death.
Meanwhile we’ve got fake meat made from a list of ingredients that takes half the packet to print.
Milk that didn’t come from an animal. Protein bars with fake sugar and seed oils. Breakfast cereals with synthetic vitamins added back in and low-fat crap covered in marketing words like “healthy”, “plant based” and “high protein”.
And that’s normal?
Nobody bats an eyelid.
But put a steak on a plate with four eggs and suddenly everyone has concerns.
The brainwashing has worked so well.
People will confidently tell me that meat is dangerous while pushing a trolley full of shit that didn’t even exist 100 years ago.
And they’re absolutely certain about it.
They don’t use their fucking brains anymore to question anything.
Look at how many people are obese. Look at how common type 2 diabetes and fatty liver have become. But let’s focus on heart disease because it’’s supposed to be caused by cholesterol. Nothing to do with amount sugar and carbs they are shoving into their bodies all day long.
They have somehow decided the problem is beef, eggs and butter.
Open your eyes!
Something has gone very wrong with what we’ve been taught to call normal.
How the hell did we get to a point where real food became extreme and factory-made food became normal?
Rant over 🤣
So interest in Synthetic Folic Acid peaked around the world on Google except in the UK where it is being mandated into all our flour where it fell. Really ?
I think we are being played and I am questioning as to why the petition is for a full Parliamentary debate on the mandate is not increasing faster.
Please sign the petition and let’s stop the mandate
My objection to Folic Acid being put in my food
Is the same as my objection to bovaer in cattle feed
Nothing is free, everything has a cost. I do not want to pay for your wacky religious belief that you are doing 'good'.
Trot on.
This is the CEO who's chemical company is now making the Folic Acid Drug that is going in all our food.
So it is thanks to Mr Dimitri "BOVAER" Vreeze of the W.E.F
That we are all now FORCED to buy industrial supermarket food, spiked with a DRUG his company made!
AND here we have it!!
The C.E.O of the company that is making the FOLIC ACID drug, that is now in all our food, is this lovely chap!
Dimitri De Vreeze
Who is also an "Agenda Contributor" for the World Economic Forum.
Did any of us vote for this man to POISON our food?
His company DSM FIRMENICH were also responsible for BOVAER!
I hope people understand this now!
Folic acid increases the risk of prostate cancer by three times.
Folic acid is not the same as naturally occurring folate.
Stop the contamination of British food with folic acid
Minister Lisa Nandy says the Govt plans new law requiring major tech companies to build government-mandated “protections” directly into phones and tablets
So how will people use the internet without surrendering their identity information?
We don’t want to ID the internet - and we don't want our personal devices turned into government-controlled checkpoints

Andy Burnham just increased the foreign aid budget to £21 billion a year.
That’s money we don’t have that we have to borrow to give to other people
Yesterday, the interest rate on long-term British debt hit 6%
That means the daily repayments on just one year of foreign aid is
£3,452,000 PER DAY
