And the thread is about standards in the UK. I am not saying that the things that happen in the UK are more "worth of condemnation" as you put it.

The UK cannot stamp out all abuses by different religions in the 4 corners of the world, but they certainly can/should stamp out disgusting practices in the UK.

Big difference.

The UK is often accused of meddling in foreign countries, I am suggesting that they protect British citizens in the UK who are suffering these rituals.
sorry, but the UK has so far been unable to stop child brides, forced marriage, FGM, the killing of young children because they may have devils living in them, the abuse and murder of young children, forced prostitution, murder, rape, robbery etc etc etc
And thats just within their own borders.

lets put own house in order before telling other people what to do

I thought that was the main point she was making.

Nice to know you still consider the UK "our" house, anyway.

Just ain't fair like.
Those who have retained UK residency keep getting shot down for talking about Spain.
Double standards I say.

as you know full well - there isn't any.

I know alot of people gripe about the Brits being so easy going and so on, but most so called "friendly countries" actually treat foreigners like terrorists, have a very short fuse when it comes to foreigners, including tourists and businessmen who are bringing in much needed currency.
But it doesn't matter, cos the Brits still keep on pumping Aid into the country.
India is a good example, they have said that the money from the UK is a mere pittance and they don't need it. But it still gets paid, people still come out to partake in education & health programs.
India lets them. Then they have a hurricane/typhoon, flooding, mountain collapsing, tsunami - and the well worn begging bowls appear.

India's new aircraft carrier Vikrant is reported to have cost $5billion and according to KPMG consultancy, India will spend $112 billion on capital defence acquisitions between 2010 and 2016.
And they will be using mainly Russian Mig aircraft and Russian helicopters.
but out of a sense of reparation for past wrongs Britain still keeps pumping them money

India isn't the only country Britain sends aid to that doesn't need it, perhaps it is just a "guilty conscience" for "past wrongs" in the days of the Empire........

Perhaps it is just a bribe to gain business, would you not think?

These are "imported" issues and to speak out about them is considered un PC and bigoted/racist.

Who by ??
They are things that happen in the UK on a daily basis, across a variety of religions.
It is fluffy bunny talk to push them to one side, cover them with secrecy and try to sideline those who may wish to bring them out into the open.

Political Correctness is a catchall for those who want to cover their eyes, their ears and ignore things they can't accept.

and as to being imported, most have been around for a few centuries, some were still being practiced in the early 1900's.
Victorian England was no utopia.

It is rascist Me Me if you condemn all those who follow a certain religion or are a different colour.
It is not rascist to condemn those who acts are illegal in the UK whatever their colour or creed.
To me they are not muslm, jewish or ultra christian chld abusers they are just
ABUSERS carrying out illegal acts.
Focus on the act not on the religon and race of those carrying it out.
All muslims are not child abusers and potential bombers just as all the Irish are not potemtial members of the IRA.
