Transcript:
There are tens of thousands of cases of FGM in the UK and not one brought to justice. It's the failed policy of multiculturalism which has given rise to this abomination across the UK. In the UK elected officials and representatives have turned a blind eye to this practice in order not to offend minority communities and avoid being labelled as racist. Lack of integration within this communities and the political class are too afraid to speak out and are allowing these practices to continue.
It is these people who have let down thousands of young girls butchered in the name of a backward cultural custom. This evil practice must end. Politicians and the justice system must have the courage to act, protecting children has to take priority over zealous and outdated political correctness.
(Blue card response to question from LibDem MEP Catherine Bearder)
Well I actually wasn't here when that was tabled, I'm a new MEP. But the Liberal Democrats have a whole load of guilt to take on their shoulders with their failed policies of multiculturalism and political correctness. So I think actually that question from you is an absolute disgrace.
