One adores old money. Circumcision is the best thing the upper classes brought to the masses.

Born 1949. It seems generally accepted that the decline of circumcision in the UK started with the foundation of the NHS but I guess it was still more common in the late 1940s than it was later.

Also 'eyewitness account'??!! May I ask who is publicly admitting to having got an eyeful of Kate Middleton's dad's willy?

I believe the newly formed NHS (1947?) started out by funding the operation but very quickly realised the implications of cost. When they de-funded circumcision it then became the preserve of those who were rich enough to afford it for their sons, so it had the effect of re-enforcing a class barrier, which when you think about it must have been the very thing a socialist organisation would have wanted to do - very odd twist of history.

One absolutely agrees with you - I couldn't have put it better.

You have to be so careful what you say these days, in case it seems prejudiced, but in the 1980s circumcision suddenly became available on the NHS in Bradford because so many parents were having their sons circumcised by barbers, who didn't appreciate the need for the sterile conditions of the operating theatre, therefore the NHS relented in that area and a few others with high incidence of the same problem.

Let’s hope he had his son circumcised to match him.

What British men are packing downstairsMore than one in five British men are circumcised (helmets/roundheads), but a lot of our cut brothers have grown up feeling isolated. Categories
