No-Go Zones in the UK

[FIMN]

Does anyone believe they exist?

 

[Armbars]

No such thing

For this to be a fruitful and civil discussion (as always on Sherdog), what is the proper definition of a no-go-zone?

 

[PrinceOfPain]

Define the term.

 

[Bubzeh]

Straight from the off I can tell this threads got potential.

Somewhere that for a certain ethnic or religious group, thry cannot go without the threat of violence or harassment.

Open to other definitions but this would seem to cover it.

"No-go zone" is the fearmongering neo-definition of ethnic enclave, which is a thing that has been observed pretty much everywhere in the history of the entire world. Long island was once a "no-go zone".

 

[BudKing8806]

Of course they exist.

 

[FIMN]

Of course they exist.

Are you a no-go-zone-denier? You sound like a no-go-zone-denier.

I can't speak for London but in Sweden, for certain groups, there are indeed no-go-zones. Try wearing a kippah and take a stroll around the city of Malmoe if you dare. The same can be said of Paris, France.

Ambulance personnel don't dare entering certain suburbs without police escort but the same can be said for many of the people living in these areas, that are afraid of being outside when it's dark.

So it comes down to definition and it also varies depending on the time of the day.

District Judge Leo Pyle said: "There are no 'no go' areas in this land. There will never be streets or shops where criminals can go about their business with impunity. Every citizen is subject to the rule of law.
"There is no such thing as a Kurdish street," he said at Nottingham Magistrates' Court.

Are you a no-go-zone-denier? You sound like a no-go-zone-denier.

That's pretty rich coming from a no-go-zone-denier-denier

 

[BudKing8806]

Where?

My yard.

 

[nac386]

So is "no-go-zone" just another way to say "dangerous neighborhood"? It sounds like that is what you guys are saying. Who made up that term?

 

[curryjunkie]

Nope

If I sound quite rich, it's because I am quite rich. Thank you for noticing.

Also, it seems to be used as definition of high crime, high poverty areas, which is another entirely new social phenomenon. Which I guess makes places like Orangeville (Baltimore) and North Yorkshire "no-go zones".
