Female circumcision campaigner horrified as shoppers sign pro-cutting petition - because they're scared of being 'culturally insensitive' | Mail Online

 Horrified: Leyla Hussein, who was cut at the age of seven in Somalia, was left in tears by the experiment

A female genital mutilation (FGM) campaigner was left in tears after an experiment intended to assess the impact of political correctness on the fight against cutting saw 19 people sign a fake pro-FGM petition within 30 minutes.
Leyla Hussein, 32, who suffered female genital mutilation as a child, approached shoppers in Northampton with the petition, which argued that as FGM was part of her culture, it should be protected.

During the 30-minute experiment, 19 people signed the petition and just one refused - a result Hussein blamed on the all-pervading culture of political correctness.
