No, Balhatchet, there is only one “nuance,” and you and I and Theresa May and all of Britain knows what that one nuance is: the people who practice female genital mutilation are Muslims, and you don’t want to offend them, and so you don’t prosecute FGM cases. It really isn’t any more “nuanced” than that, although you will batter your interlocutors with all manner of bafflegab to try to cover up that fact.
“Police Commander on Lack of Female Genital Mutilation Convictions: ‘There Are Many Nuances to This Crime,’” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, January 19, 2018:
The police commander tasked with tackling female genital mutilation has excused the lack of convictions for the crime by saying it has “many nuances”.
Ivan Balchatchet, the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s lead on ‘honour’ violence, female genital mutilation, and forced marriage, was responding to a letter from Jonathan Nicholas, a writer who served as a frontline police officer for 30 years, asking why there has yet to be a single conviction for FGM despite tens of thousands of recorded cases since it was criminalised in 1985.
“Thank you for your letters received dated 10th October 2017 and 12th January 2018 [sic],” wrote Balhatchet.
“May I apologise for the tardiness in my response, you can appreciate that as the National Policing Lead for this portfolio the need to prioritise resources to tackle all forms of Honour-Based Abuse, including Female Genital Mutilation. This includes working with both statutory and non-governmental organisations, in ways to prevent FGM and protect girls and women.”…
“There are many nuances to this crime type, which even third-sector charitable organisations, do not claim to share a nexus with your rationale of concerns for the lack of successful prosecutions [sic].”
Balhatchet’s remarks, while difficult to interpret with certainty, were widely interpreted as confirmation that the police do not consider it appropriate to punish those responsible for FGM.
This would be in line with a similar statement from West Midlands Police, which said it felt “Prosecuting/jailing parents [is] unlikely to benefit [the] child”.
Like West Midlands Police, Commander Balhatchet was forced into a rapid climbdown after receiving a furious backlash on social media, tweeting: “I apologise for this letter. It is not clear at all. FGM is the appalling abuse of children. It is unacceptable that there have been no successful prosecutions. Working with others, this is something that needs to change.”…
When Freedom of Information requests revealed that police were referring just 5 per cent of honour-based crimes to prosecutors — despite the number of reports surging by 68 per cent between 2014 and 2015 — Balhatchet said that “‘Honour’ based abuse is a complex crime”, and referred to potential issues within “community or family networks”.

Not wanting to offend Muslims has put the world in the mess it is in today….I want to know if anyone in the world’s governments understands this..They surely must not. Offending Muslims is not where the offending should be but offending Islam IS! Islam should be “offended” at every turn. Now can offending Muslims and offending Islam be separated?…Probably not but Muslims should be shamed into obscurity because of islam.
Any religion that portrays what Islam does should be banned but the only way it can be is to shun and shame those who have spilled rivers of blood FORCING their religion on others. Islam, the religion (so called) of FEAR and FORCE.
roger woodhouse says
A total lack of serious criticism by the establishment,politicians and the church of England is respondible for the dire state we are in .Islam must be exposed warts and all to the British public.Those wishing to leave that evil brainwashing cult must be protected Those unable to accept this must be encouraged to leave Britain and the western world.Islam unless radically reformed must be removed from our shores if there is ever to be peace here again
roger woodhouse says
Just as a matter of interest I lived in South Africa for twenty years. lt has a very large muslim community and I never once came across any cases of FMG*in fact I had never head of such practice.My South African wife who trained as a nurse there had never come across such a thing either.Is it then that the muslim we have imported from Pakistan and middle eastern countries are generally more backward that the ‘Indian’the British imported into South Africa 150 years ago or have they just become more civilised living in that country first under British colonial rule and later under the apartheid system introduced by the Afrikaaners.
Wazza says
It has become a given with the UK, anything goes if it involves Muslims, like we saw with Tommy R, he was persecuted and abused for showing who was committing most crimes and the outrageous cover up by the Cops and Gov’t.
FGM is not done by anyone else but Muslims, the more we read and watch what is transpiring in the UK, it sure looks like it is a lost cause, just like Germany, France, Canada and many others who embraced multiculturalism. What the heck can the decent Brits do, go all illegal and as should be perform a cull of these invaders, or just bail or as we see, just smile ad say welcome
FGM is for the insane and the reason behind it shows how these apes are regressing back into a primitive sub culture

Excellent examples, JawsV. Getting two in one sentence is pretty impressive!
(If Islam is a religion of peace, then surely the extremists would be extremely peaceful, wouldn’t they…?)

LOL, good point. The Islamic hardliners should put the Quakers to shame.
But they don’t.
Jeff Allen says
I got such a kick out of your, “If Islam is a religion of peace, then surely the extremists would be extremely peaceful, wouldn’t they…?” quote, that I had to borrow it and send it to some on my islam thread. Here is a response I just received, which I thought those in JW would help me with as it might go toward educating this fellow about what islam really is all about:
“Like most forms of radicalism it’s a minority that pushes and occasionally like Germany in the ‘30’s they can get control but in world of 1.5 billion + Muslims this “terrorism” isn’t much of a mass movement. Percentage wise a bike like the IRA and I was in England in the 80’s where you couldn’t get a letter at a hotel for fear of letter-bombs..they blew up Mountbaden and the Tory convention hotel trying to Thatcher…OK the Arabs are whiners they had a hundred years of colonialism we Irish more like 400 years of English terror!!
The Taliban and ISIS are people or groups trying to take or hold power …in our efforts to help Afghanistan , Iraq, Syria, Libya etc the massive collateral “civilian” deaths from our intervention (just bombs & drones) are in the hundred of thousands isn’t winning the US friends of “everyone”…do these countries have issues YES and maybe if we didn’t interfere they MIGHT solve their own problems..
Having had to read the Old and New Testament and the Quran murderous quotes are in all three, bizarre punishments that in the 21st century should have no place or platform for support …”
Carol says
They need to be corrected e.g. “the extremists adhere to a violent EXPRESSION of Islam as is unmistakably encouraged by their ‘holy’ book.”
Jayell says
It is a long-established principle of the English language (probably dating back to 1066) that you use French-based vocabulary if you want to give yourself an air of cultured respectability and integrity. So you could be spouting any old claptrap, but drag in a word like ‘nuance’ and your utterances immediately earn total deference, as the probably well-connected Mr. Balchatchet (where did he get that name from?) is no doibt all-too- aware!
Tom says
It is either a criminal act or it is not, there is no grey area. If it is a criminal act then the police have a duty to investigate and arrest and if there is sufficient evidence to convict then charge the perpetrator.
Any “nuance” will be dealt with at the trial and sentencing stage. The police do not have the discretion to refuse to investigate based upon a subjective stance taken by them.
If the crime has been committed and sufficient evidence of guilt is found then the police MUST do their job or justice is no longer blind but becomes jaded. If that occurs the society is headed down a path toward anarchy and oppression.
Terry Gain says
Tom
You have expressed views about the responsibility of police which I share as well as they could be expressed. Immigration which turns police into cowards and causes them to turn a blind eye to barbarism is not in our best interest.
Carol says
Can the government eventually be sued by these children and would it make a difference if it had happened outside of national boundaries?
In her book “Infidel”, Ayaan Hirsi Ali describes the circumcision of herself and her two siblings. Her brother was seven; Ayaan was five, and Haweye was four. It was the more brutal ‘African’ style. She felt her sister ‘was never the same afterward’. All the children promptly began bedwetting after the experience.
Carol says
These girls are ‘shamed’ by being called names like ‘kinterley” (she with the clitoris). Imams and idiots also speak of how someday these appendages will hang in an unsightly or self-stimulating way from between their legs. Any anatomists who can contradict this (or are sample populations now too small?)
Matthieu Baudin says
“… No, Balhatchet, there is only one “nuance,” and you and I and Theresa May and all of Britain knows what that one nuance is: the people who practice female genital mutilation are Muslims, and you don’t want to offend them, and so you don’t prosecute FGM cases…”
Thanks Robert for putting this so forcefully. This cause needs advocacy and Jihad Watch hasn’t been shy to make this hidden crime visible and so advance the right of young girls to maintain their bodies in one piece. FGM is the castration of girls and is carried out in order to dull their normal sexual sensations with the objective of keeping them within the bounds of authority that exist within Traditional Islam. It really is an extension of the slave holding mentality and should be fought at every opportunity by people who respect their own conscience and value the right to life and limb.
Anne Smith says
I expect Balhatchet (the name seems sordidly appropriate in the circumstances) has been well trained on a Common Purpose course and is therefore able to spout and defend Marxist principles instead of normal British common sense, and has no shame in defending 7th century primitive practices in the name of “multiculturalism”.
If we want to sort Britain out Common Purpose must be closed down. It seems unlikely at present as our great Appeaser, Teresa, thinks it is excellent.
StellaSaidSo says
I agree, Anne. I don’t know if Common Purpose still publishes on their site the names of their ‘graduates’, but if there is a list, I bet Balhatchet’s name is on it.
Infidel Lass says
Technically, we don’t need our small toe. Let’s just start running around chopping appendages off children. The kids will be forever grateful to be mutilated by their own parents and of course, no need to serve time for it. Isn’t butchering them in their best interest? I mean, why let girls experience sexual pleasure when we can deprive them of it, you racist islamophobes?
Salome says
And we mustn’t lock up the parents who do this, because that would be bad for the child, so the parents can keep lopping off other bits with impunity. Meanwhile, if Mrs Smith hits little Kevin on the bottom because he’s chucking a tanty in the shopping centre, she’ll be in very very deep doo doo.
gravenimage says
Grimly true–compare and contrast.
Sarah says
Oh the irony in the male patiently explaining how butchering the genitals of little girls is a ‘crime with many nuances’.
You make me sick, Balhatchet. Resign you pathetic coward.
roger woodhouse says
This sums up the attitude shown by the police toward any crime involving muslims.We can trace this back to the ‘grooming’of white girls for the purpose of prostitution and sexual assault by muslim gangs as far back as 2002’.Our leftard governments are digging a hole for themselves for day the British become ‘motivated ‘sufficiently to take to the streets to rid themselves of Islam and all its disgusting baggage dragging them and our civilisation down.Most of them will thank us for doing so I suspect.
Sarah says
I agree. I think that a day of reckoning will eventually arrive for Muslims and their supporters in the UK (not to mention, across the West overall) and I can only imagine the shock that they’re going to experience when that day comes.
The sooner we get that show on the road, the better chances we all have of retaining our culture.
StellaSaidSo says
It will come to that, Sarah, if our govts don’t take decisive action soon. A major course correction will be required for our survival. Somehow, I can’t see Theresa the Appeaser setting the example. The West bought some time with the election of DJT, but we need another dozen like him, and we need them yesterday.

How in the world do much like this manage to look their daughters in the eye? If Sharia were to become the law of the land, would they submit to the “nuances” and put their own little girls under the knife as well?
Lu says
That’s when the tipping point is reached and the fire and furry of You the People in UK will speak out – but not just speak, act as well.
Bill says
Balachet was asked the wrong question. A better question would be: “Would you want this for your daughters”?
Carol says
The ENTIRE female body is ‘just an appendage’ to men of his ‘sensibilities’
R Russell says
The UK is becoming more sharia complaint every day. Without a Christian revival there is no hope
Lu says
I am afraid that any such revival is well overdue and the society is slipping into chaos and lawlessness.
Look – if police chief can state the above (basically turning blind eye to crime!) with full impunity, if it is not causing a public uproar in the media and hearings in the Parliament, then overall apathy and capitulation is all there is – and what we see here.
Revival is a spiritual thing as I understand you. The state of affairs in UK can’t be rectified by a spiritual movement – the country is beyond that point.
All this is sad beyond any measure.
Carol says
If muslims don’t like the interference then they shouldn’t be parted from their OWN lands. Our governments have no right to anesthetize and attempt to separate us from our own values and to thus make us somehow COMPLICIT in this barbarity.
In the everyday world we share, WE ARE OUR VALUES.
gravenimage says
Pious Muslims are told to force the entire world to submit to Islam.
Too bad so few civilized Infidels know this.
revereridesagain says
Christianity is unlikely to bring an evangelical spirit to the issue of preserving the right to sexual enjoyment for women unless it could be directly linked to conception.
JawsV says
Only Catholicism. But Catholics never practiced FGM.
Carol says
Original doctrine re contraception had to to with what was or was not “natural” rather than with the “sanctity of life” (which is what we’ve since assumed or been led to believe). I doubt FGM would be considered “natural”. They’ve also since admitted that marriage is not JUST for procreation so it seems we can interpret that as we like.
Carol says
Per Google: The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that amputations and mutilations performed on innocent people without strictly therapeutic reasons are against the moral law. Pope Pius XII taught that circumcision is morally permissible if it prevents a disease that cannot be countered any other way.
and:
Thus, a circumcision is a non-therapeutic amputation and mutilation. Therefore, for Catholics, non-therapeutic circumcision at any age is immoral according to the teaching of the Church as expressed in the Catechism. Eugene IV. Bull of Union with the Copts.
Carol says
…Natural Birth Control methods are acceptable in Catholicism.
John Stefan Obeda says
RRA: You remind me of this passage Genesis 18:12(ESV) “So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, ‘After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure.” I believe that the pleasure that she has in mind is not only the pleasure to have a child, finally, but the pleasure that there is that God has given to her to become conceived. How sinful it is for Islamists to take away this pleasure from women that God Himself has given to them.
Carol says
Sarah would have been in great trouble if she conceived after she AND her “lord” were old and worn out. Also, a clitoris has nothing to do with having babies. The lovely Ayaan Hirsi Ali, in fact, recently had her first!
MFritz says
It’s actually not that complicated to understand!
Translation: “We, the British police, watch every public space with dozens of cameras, we monitor every car on a highway and the internet too. If you are a white person and have an inconvenient opinion, we will get to you. Alas, this matter is about brown people and these are needed by our globalist masters. So we turn both eyes away and pretend that we respect the very same laws that we normally don’t care about a bit if you were a white person… with an inconvenient opinion.

Maybe the very-appropriately named “Ivan Ball-Hatchet” should undergo some FGM (Fools’ Genital Mutilation) of his very own, just to show the right spirit of “community cohesion” / “commitment to diversity” / “societal enrichment” etc etc ?
Since he plainly has no objection to the torture and mutilation of children – or at least, not to the extent of actually doing his job and preventing it – surely the very least he can do is to join in the “shared experience” ? And if not, why not ? As the song goes: “If it’s good enough for them – it’s good enough for you etc…” and It would certainly lend an almost-unprecedented verisimilitude to his next round of touch-feely, moist-eyed “I feel your pain…” -type platitudes….
I’m not entirely certain what a “Ball-Hatchett” looks like, but in a “pro bona publica” – (which I had always previously understood to be the Latin for indecent exposure…) – case such as this, I am more than willing to assist: I expect that I could knock up a reasonable facsimile by combining an ordinary hatchet with a spare ball-pein hammer- (again – very suitably-named…) – and send it along ? And it would be absolutely no trouble at all to find the usual motley array of broken glass, rusty razor-blades, kitchen-scissors etc.
You go for it, Mr Ball-Hatchett – you’d have a ball ! (Or possibly not…..)
Johnny Cuyana says
PC., UPVOTE for you … for your message and the intertwined very good dark humor; most appropriate.
In the meantime,
Short story #1: In my younger years, bewildered, I would shake my head… when trying to rationalize the rapid development and deployment of the NAZI party ideology. How, in a western society such as the Weimar Republic, as flawed as it was, could such an about-face — a rejection of so much of foundational Western values — come to pass? These days, with examples such as this misguided and corrupted UK National Police Chief, I no longer wonder. Certainly, I am reading between the lines, but, for this particular individual, I see a person with a broken moral compass who is vigorously pursuing his career path — damn any and all others, including his fellow countrymen — for purely self-serving interests. [IMO, when western societies become more confused — i.e., less resolute in the understanding and support of their foundational values — breaches such as this are to be expected … and, in this case, the death cult mohammedans, who will eagerly apply the coup de grace, will be more than happy to fill the vacuum created].
Short story #2: in university, I took a course in ME History — presented by a great professor, Dr. Friedman — where, among other things, I gained most of my appreciation — steadfastly held, even to today — for our 2nd Amendment to our USA Constitution. To our class, Dr. Friedman brought several Jewish members of our local community who had lived through the pre-WWII Nazi era. They were in our class to recall, in the context of our coursework, their specific experiences. No, I can’t recall their exact words, but, without a doubt, their overall message was: so many years later they still had a hard time comprehending how rapidly, once the NAZI’s got their foot in the door, that all of their lives literally went to hell. Beforehand, for them and many other Germans, life was so good and the future appeared so promising, but, almost overnight, it fell apart utterly. Note: as the NAZI’s took hold, one of their main objectives was to take away ALL GUNS — and to preclude them from even working in ANY and ALL gun manufacturing, repairing and selling activities — from any and all Jews.
These days, in view of this mohammedan invasion — where, despite the “low actual numbers of such vermin”, the important factor is that this death cult holds values 180-degrees against those of the West — I have no problem seeing where, possibly, with the “able” assistance of self-serving traitorous morons such as this UK police official — which includes many more of such ignoramuses in even higher positions of authority in the UK and elsewhere — that the foundations of our own present-day Western world could deteriorate substantially and rapidly … after which, who knows?
God save us from such self-serving anti-freedom morons.
John Stefan Obeda says

The “It could never happen here” mentality is alive and well.
The less we are used to being on guard for our freedoms, the less we notice the threats against them. I’m sure that’s why it won’t happen in the USA as easily as in Europe and Canada.
I mean to say, which other countries have a population so familiar with their founding document which contains explicit statements telling you to be ready to fight against your own Government if and when they become oppressive?
To even mention the idea of armed resistance to your own government in the UK or Canada marks you out as conspiracy wackonaziracists.

It is not up to the Police Chief to nuance a yes /no question. Did this take place or not, this is all that needs to be discovered and investigated. If yes Prosecute. The Police Chief is not a Social Worker. He’s head of Law Enforcement. Do that job only. If confused by your role step down. The criminal code is NOT nuanced on FGM what other groups do you work with since you mentioned it? You are the lead and responsible Agency, period!

Unpardonably, thousands of Muslim girls have undergone and will undergo F.G.M. in Britain. This atrocity will be at the hands of professional”Cutters” or N.H.S. Doctors,working ‘surreptitiously’. Eventually, these thousands of now adult Muslim women here, will seek lawyers, demanding payment for their forced abuse and British taxpayers will reward them with HUGE sums in recompense. I can imagine a Muslim husband, one of whose wives had undergone F.G.M. realising the cash potential of ‘going to law’. Then, I can imagine thousands following suit…………..
Carol says
That would seem to fit well the pattern of taking money out of our hands and endowing the Muslims with it, wouldn’t it?
You can’t help but wonder when we’ll all be told that our “safety nets” have collapsed.
gravenimage says
Few of these atrocities are committed by NHS doctors, even Muslim doctors–most FGM is done by “ordinary” Muslims with broken glass or rusty razor blades on the kitchen table, or by their thuggish counterparts back in Dar-al-Islam, where the poor girls are sent under the guise of visiting family.
StellaSaidSo says
Do you have any stats on this, GI?
Muslim doctors have been performing this ‘procedure’ in the West for YEARS, as a nice little cash earner. It is reasonable to assume that, in some cases at least, Muslim doctors in UK have a day job with the NHS.
It is the kitchen table DIY cases which end up at Emergency clinics, leading to the assumption that the majority of FGM cases fall into this category. But we have no way of knowing how many operations are performed by doctors, on the quiet and without complications, unless the victims speak out.
Peter says
The only nuances are the instruments used to perform the religious, misogynistic procedure that deprives women of one of their fundamental human rights..
StellaSaidSo says
Two years ago, I asked my local MP what her government intended to do to stop the practice of FGM.
She said she didn’t think FGM was a problem in Australia ‘because it’s illegal’.
Like that ever stopped anyone from exceeding the speed limit.
The same MP is on record claiming that Islam does not discriminate against women.
She’s a lefty of course. Thick as a plank, but knows everything.
MFritz says
Yeah, politicians love to “argue” that way.
“Massachusetts has banned bump stocks and is ordering residents to surrender them to the officials.”
Well, I’m so VERY sure all the criminals will just do that. Because once something is illegal and considered “evil” and “wrong” people will just stop doing it…
LeftisruiningCanada says
True.
They love to revel in the supposed power of the State.
Garfield says
FGM is illegal…. But they do nothing about it. So there are a separate set of laws for Islamic supremaciasts?
Also, what is the “nuance”? It is how MUCH of the girls genitals are chopped and gouged off?
When talking to people about Islam, maybe we should start saying that gee, FGM sure is a confusing aspect of Islam and ask huh, why do you think its acceptable? If you think Islam is nice, you think FGM is nice, right?
People who want to portray Islam as some sort of benevolent mysterious group full of pious, kind men and modest sweet women need to SERIOUSLY WAKE UP. Islam is a death cult, a supremacist political ideology, rampant with antisemitism and hate towards gays and christians.
Islamofacists don’t want anyone to look at their hate spewing and lies bcs that’s what their criminal enterprise is built on: ignorance. The can’t continue to siphon off unearned money and resources, keep getting way with rape and FGM if their real belifa are exposed.

It’s clearly a bunch of the usual BAFFLEGAB!
While puzzling over the ‘nuances’ between merely scraping over the top (e.g. as many Islamophile articles soft-peddle and which the two Michigan doctors up on charges claim they adhered to) I began wondering how this version of FGM reconciles with videos wherein hairy imams espouse the kindness of more encompassing surgeries e.g. potentially troublesome, lengthy clits should be cut down to size before it’s too late!! Perhaps these ‘surgeons’ might consider cutting out the central part of the “stalk” and then sewing the rest back together – if only in order to accommodate the nuances of Western feelings? Maybe there should be a ‘moratorium’ on this?
