It's always debatable and people always have the conversation after serious incidents.
I guess that's the British way of answering questions.
As opposed to what???
I've recently become acquainted with the term 'mansplain'. In a subsequent conversation with an Anishnaabe pal of mine, I used the phrase 'whitesplain', and he seemed ok with it. Now, I think we have to accept an action we might call 'Amerisplain', in which we are expected to sit back and absorb the wonders of all that which is American (whether we like it or not).
I'm not American.

I know you have armed police, but they have to be called in. ALL of your police need to be armed though, not just the specialized ones that are called in for hostage situations or when a terrorist strikes. The guys patrolling the streets or responding to domestic calls should always have the quickest and most efficient way of defending themselves, out of respect man.
It is just outright silly and disrespectful when half a dozen unarmed cops have to counter a blade wielding maniac with a dumpster.
I don't see how this is relevant to the topic at hand
It is a direct response to your post.

You rally against people you feel are reluctant to give up the lie about no go zones, but you feed the lie that America is full of poor Black people.
While it is true that Black people have an increased risk of being poor in America, that does not translate into "the US is full of poor Black people". Nor does it mean that the majority of Black people in America live in ghettos, wear their pants around their ankles, are members of BLM, and speak in Ebonics.
Yet this is the lie that is continually perpetuated. Just like the lie of no go zones.
You want to stop one lie? It is easier if you don't have to pick sides and just stop all the lies.
The basic numbers don’t change when we look at people living in extreme poverty, in households making less than 50 percent of the meager poverty line. Of the 20 million people who live at this alarming level of want and deprivation, about 42 percent are white, 27 percent black. These data have political implications that racial stereotyping usually shroud from public view. Many white people who don’t live anywhere near poverty, even many who consider themselves liberal, think blacks compose most of the poor. Large numbers of these white Americans feel no emotional connection to the problems poor people face. They perceive poverty as a problem of some other community, not their own. If those white Americans who felt this way actually had to confront the demographic reality of poverty, if they came to understand that white people make up the single largest group of the poor, how white America thinks about poverty and policy might start changing. Well-meaning white Americans have for decades been aware that black people face the risk of poverty than whites. But “poverty,” we all need to understand, is more and different than “race.”
Poverty More than a Matter of Black and White
Muslims are a race?

Anyone else find it really funny that the OP started this racist thread (let's call it what it is) and yet nobody has so far came out with anything about a real no go zone.

Of course not, but the British state saw fit to pretend it is one. It does not matter that the faith spans all races, even if I t is far more racist to pretend they are a race.

It's British law.
It's not pretence.

Good thing you weren't around when Alan Turing was forced into hormone treatment for homosexuality. Hey, it was British Law.
And there you go again hating on the uk just for the sake of it, really do you just not like the British??
Do you know the British government have since pardoned him and issued a full apology.
But this thread is about no go areas in the uk run by Muslims, not historical treatment of homosexuals.

I was only pointing out the absurd argument that because something is law it is right.
I have nothing against the British. I have no time for the state-sponsored euphemism and political correctness plaguing a once enlightened culture.
So by your logic if I can just argue that it was not murder because the definition of murder is wrong from my point of view..
You can disagree with it all you want but the law is the law, in the UK we regard race to include faith, nationality and culture. That is a fact, does not mater what you think of it

Uh, no. That's not my logic.
It is also a fact the idea that a religion or nation is a race, especially when that religion or nation is multi-racial, is complete nonsense, and it does not matter what you think about it.
Again you might disagree it but that is the fact of the matter
If you came over hear and called me a Jewish Scottish c**t, you could expect to be charged under race laws, with out mentioning the colour of my skin. Doesn't matter if you agree with that definition or not.
Am pretty confident most racists probably don't like the legal definitions.
However I think we are kind of digressing.
The idea of no go Muslim controlled areas in the uk is a myth
