I’ve said before that I live next to Govanhill which is regularly on the list of high immigrant population “no go areas” and it’s fine.
Also full of skint lgbtq+ people and voted Green at the elections.
Try and argue that with folk who believe in them and you’re an out of touch metropolitan elite though
Ironically I live in an area with a low white British population and plenty of LGBTQ too (we have permanent
flags painted on the high street) and it’s also home to some of the key players in the BBC pay-for-gay-asylum scam expose
Maybe it’s different out in the provinces but when people say no-go zones in London they usually just mean the crime is done by brown people instead of white people

Govanhill had a double whammy as it was Nicola Sturgeon’s constituency so people used to make up the most horrible rumours to see what would stick.
Worst one I heard was that Romanian folk were prostituting their kids, it was investigated and nothing was found yet the rumour remains.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. FPtP needs to go, it is designed to maintain the status quo, doesn't allow for diversity of thought, enforces voter apathy, and is not a fair voting system.
On a separate note, as of last Tuesday I'm now a British citizen.
Phew just in the nick of time

Congrats on becoming a Brit. Now go join a queue and drink some tea.
On FPTP I've gone back and forward on it. On the one hand people tend to vote for more mainstream 'centrist' parties so their votes aren't wasted. On the other, if you had PR people would be less afraid to vote for extremes because 'every vote would count'.

A no go area isn't a no go for all, I'll walk around the rowing lake all day long. I wouldn't let my wife or kids to walk about there though.
The rowing club were told by the police, an old school friend, that they should stop the early morning rowing by the girls/ women unless the men are also in attendance. It's right by the hotel that is solely housing illegal Immigrants.
The locals have reported lots of issues but nothing is being done. Even me and my much bigger friend were screamed at as a guy was informing us what to do when you find a dead body, he followed us on the footpath as we were kayaking down the Nene.
It's like saying I don't believe anyone has any issues with speeders as we don't get any in my town.
Dave!

You'll find yourself shedding a tear on the queens birthday, this is perfectly normal.
You also now have an opinion on brown sauce.
Dave!

As with any racial profiling, it’s more like saying that all drivers are maniacs doing 150 outside schools because you’ve caught a couple of people doing that.
