London's "No-Go" areas.

[BStrong]

How such lies get started:


"A Christian Nation cannot put up a Christmas scene of the baby Jesus in a public place, but the Muslims can stop normal traffic every Friday afternoon by worshiping in the streets [of NY]… Something is happening in America that is reminiscent of what is happening in Europe . This is Political Correctness gone crazy…"

The reality:

"The photos were taken in New York City but this is not a weekly event. Once a year the Muslim Foundation of America organizes a Muslim Day Parade event that includes a gathering of Muslims at the corner of Madison Ave and 41st Street for Zahur prayer."

This has been an annual event since 1985 and the 25th annual event is slated for September 26, 2010."

And the annual event is ongoing.

So, maybe not totally unlike St Patrick's Day, or something.

Very unlike - public urination and puking seems to be one of the great St. Patrick's day traditions.

The Italians love their Columbus day celebrations and even in PC heaven S.F. we shut down the streets for Columbus Day:

Really? Not heard of that here.

Just try travelling anywhere by public transport on December 25th.

 

[MikeG]

Regardless of whether it is or isn't, doing so is a pretty traditional form of protest here.

It certainly is in France.

I'll play the Quatermass gambit.

Hop along to Hobbs End.

ETA
Now that is a real no go zone!

Crouch End can be a bit dodgy.

Even Deadpool learnt not to mess with Paddington:

Okay, this may be drifting a tiny bit off topic.

Crouch End can be a bit dodgy.

That area of North London in general.

Meh. It's only once a year, and "everyone" is at home, anyway.

It certainly is in France.

I thought burning dead sheep was the traditional form of protest in France.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

That area of North London in general.

I'm sure there's no truth to the rumour that no-one noticed anything out of the ordinary when they were filming!

 

[Planigale]

Baylor probably does not realise that there is an actual Angel in the London beneath Islington.

Moutons brûlée en camion? Sounds a bit haut cuisine to me.

Though not quite as weird as Brentford Although I hear Penge is very nice

Good grief, man, have you not heard how, as a junior barrister, Horace Rumpole successfully defended the Penge Bungalow Murders trial, alone and without a leader?!

 

[jimbob]

Thinking about it, I'm sure there are no go areas described in that documentary series. And all within the M25.

 

[Mojo]

Although I hear Penge is very nice

Many people say that, although they’ve never been there themselves. A no-go area?

That road, of course, having been designed by a demon from hell.

 

[Lambchops]

I love this thread.

 

[Lothian]

Warning. Avoid Paddington. It is a no go area.

 

[MikeG]

Many people say that, although they’ve never been there themselves. A no-go area?

First of all, Penge is so bland that plenty of people will have been there without ever realising it. They won't have noticed. Secondly, the only reason to go there deliberately is if you live there.

There was a quirky little book published many years ago called Penge Papers which probably gave Penge the only publicity it has ever had.

Meanwhile, in other news:

BBC News: Hate crimes - Rise in offences linked to religious beliefs

"There has been a surge in hate crime directed at people because of their religious beliefs, new figures show.

Police in England and Wales say there has been an increase of 40% compared with last year's figures.

Most religious hate crime - 52% of all offences - was aimed at Muslims."

Which, considering Muslims make up less than 5% of the population, is quite impressive for Baylor's fellow travellers.

Official Statistics: Hate crime, England and Wales, 2017 to 2018

Bloody Buddhists. Typically failing to pull their weight as victims. Stop chanting and start getting targeted.....
