The real Gem and Molly, adopted separately, were good pals together and good fun. Both gone some time ago. Their photos are on the wall (the Rogues Gallery) so I can smile at them every day.

The lack of regulation of ritual circumcision is an utter failure of safeguarding.
When it comes to children, circumcision should only be performed by doctors, and only with medical necessity.
