tbf, the British press fuels this nonsense. In recent weeks the Daily Mail produced one article that suggested a particular (84% white) suburb was a "no go area" for white people, and another that suggested it was a "posh and leafy suburb" that was top of the list for house hunters nationwide :-/

Police have been told to avoid certain areas in uniform when traveling to and from work. In other areas the police think twice about entering, as people are likely to throw things at the car etc. I have this from a friend in the UK.
If that doesn't qualify as a type of "no go", I don't know where to draw the line. In any case, it's shocking.

"a friend in the UK"... what an excellent source of factual unbiased information.
It's also bullshit (and if it isn't prove me wrong with actual facts, not apocryphal stories from "friends" ).

Well I can't go and actually name my friends on a public forum, can I. So yes, it's unverifiable. But if you live there, it shouldn't be hard to find someone outside of your London bubble with this opinion.
Please name me one place in the UK where police don’t go.
This is exactly the same 5 year old BS that we heard from Trump times.
Even the USA ambassador was embarrassed and grilled by the journalist in the Netherlands to provide one example of “politicians being burned” and “no-go zones” in the Netherlands.
