I live in a one bedroom £675,000 flat in Tower Hamlets. Haven’t been able to leave my front door in months to visit the artisan bakery at the end of my road or the the sprawling Royal Park 5minutes walk away. It’s a disgrace, there are Neo aristocratic street thugs walking around with Oliver Peoples glasses and tote bags everywhere - god knows what they are keeping in those totes.
I forgot to add. In addition to the above. I along with thousand other financial service industry employees have had to move to remote contract as guess what, our employers European / Global headquarters are in Canary Wharf, Tower Hamlets 😢
@ld21 Not necessarily. I passed that ball fast. You're likely to get a visit from Five, who fell flat on their faces when they discovered we were bigger than them.
@@SabhohHa ha 😂, it's literally criminal to be English 🏴. Tbf I'm a southerner and I've never had any issues in Liverpool, people were friendly.
I'm a Jock and lived around there. I never had a problem, not once in five years. There's a good mix of folk there from everywhere, the salt of the earth in my experience. The gov't as usual are talking bollox.
Never heard a Scot 🏴 refer to themselves as a 'Jock' before. That's normally what the English 🏴 would call them and they take offence, but love calling us Gammons 😂. I have a Scottish 🏴 friend who I grew up with in Tower Hamlets, I never understood why she wanted to live here when Scotland 🏴 is supposed to be far better 🤷.
@hey12542 Yeah, we pinched the word "Jock". We own it now LOL, you hear it in the army a lot. I ended up in London for work. I was determined to hate it, didn't want to be there, I had a right cob on, I can tell you. I've lived in a few cities and always settled in no problem. But I did NOT want to go to London. Three days in the east end, and I loved the place. Biggest shock of my life! It was the people who made all the difference. I was made so welcome, and they treated me like one of their own. Shoreditch, Hackney, "Beffnal" Green, I actually miss the place. A lot of it's gentrified now and really changed. And, believe it or not, I never once had any trouble using Scottish Pound notes!
@@liammalarky3483 London is so diverse with people from all different places that's what makes it so great. Being a Londoner and growing up in Tower Hamlets with people around me who were not all English 🏴 I got to experience different cultures and I've tasted food I would never have known existed, my Scottish friend really wants me to go to Scotland 🏴 with her to try haggis as she now eats pie mash and green liquor cause I kept banging on at her to try it 😂. At first she kept saying 'I'm not eating green snot, now you can't stop her eating it 😂' my dad was a Geordie who moved to London before I came along and he was the same about the pie and mash 😂.In London we are all about diversity and enjoying the differences between us. I've read many things online from people who seem to dislike London, but I do think that's more the political aspect of it. I say to people who have never been 'come and visit and experience London for yourself, some people love it and some hate it but to me it's home and there's no place like it, I do think like anywhere you are you have to keep safe and try to avoid any dangerous situations around you. Hopefully you'll be back again in the future 👍🏻. Scottish notes should be easily accepted in England 🏴. I'm not sure why some places refuse it but I think it's cause they may have never seen a Scottish 🏴 note before ha ha 😂
@hey12542 jellied eels, pie n mash = food of the gods. I, too, was reticent at first, but when in Rome n all that. So I tried it, and it was amazing. Yes, you definitely have to try haggis, tatties, n neeps.
Bull 💩 and you know it. In 2019 Tower Hamlets residents stated that crime and Anti social behaviour was their number one concern. I doubt very much things have inproved much since then.
Yeah it's still absolutely fine, you realise normal people live in those estates. Yes teenagers hang around on street corners trying to look hard, but it's still fine. Lived in London all my life. Where are you?
Not too nit-pick, but the minister said that "parts of Tower Hamlets are no-go areas". You appear to have visited the touristic and commercial centre of Tower Hamlets in an attempt to falsify his claim, whereas in fact you should have visited the worst parts. Also, you have interpreted "no-go" literally, whereas the minister meant that it was inadvisable to go to certain parts of Tower Hamlets, namely ethnic enclaves, if you were not part of the community. Indeed, I believe it was in Tower Hamlets that a mob of Muslim men tried to enforce Sharia Law. Still, facts and logic be dammed. Tories bad, multiculturalism good.
"Ethnic enclaves" in this case are just rough council estates/ ghettos, ubiquitous across most major cities globally. Those patrol wankers were a bunch of bigots who surfaced over a decade ago and were rightly convicted and that stuff has never resurfaced. Believe me, London has it's fair share of problems but to define any part of it as a "no-go zone" is nothing short of fear-mongering.
I live in Bradford and have searched in vain for the "no go" areas the city is apparently riddled with. I've tried asking the people who complain about them for directions or a map but so far no replies.
I love the way the American couple have got our slippery Tory weasel politicians sussed out, no problem. Just goes to show this sort of waste of space political pond life is universal.
The art on the lamposts are beautifull, almost every shot in this vid has very nice art and I don't mean some bad graffiti, there are lots of genuine pretty art/ graffiti.
I haven't lived in Tower Hamlets, but my parents have and I have visited the area a few times. I think that 20-25 years ago the north was quite rough (and probably before that the south), but it's improved quite a lot since then. I mean its somewhere people buy anti-theft devices for their car and watch their valuables (heck, I've been to parts of England where people still don't lock their front door), but I've been there and I am perfectly comfortable walking around the area.
surprised you thought this video was adequate. the title is clickbait even. The MP didn't say brick lane specifically. you didn't cover any ground in the borough.
I live in Shoreditch, stones throw from Bricklane , hipster central. It’s a tourists hotspot, young generation hangout, from Thursday night the whole area is buzzing with young London professionals in bars , cafes, restaurants. The gentrification has made the area rich and I’ve lived here since 1980 and seen it change from slums to properties nearing a million. And this is in Tower Hamlets and Tories saying it’s no go area. You can’t move around in the weekends so many people from red church street down to Bricklane and all white professionals and European tourists, they are advised to visit cause of the curry restaurant and recent world food courts and market, Arts/ culture ,vintage shops in Bricklane. It’s also busy in the weekdays afternoon till late night.
@@hey12542they’re not in a different country, it’s the same country (although many Scots would rather it wasn’t). I live in the north of England and house prices here are similar to those in Glasgow. Because we’re the same country. It’s London that feels like a million miles away from the rest of Britain.
@@louisdoningtonIt's literally a different country hence all three countries on the island having their own names Scotland 🏴, England 🏴 and Wales 🏴. Together they make up the island of Great Britain and are currently part of a 'United Kingdom' (Union) with Northern Ireland although it's not so united and sooner NI and Scotland 🏴 leave and the hard border is put in place the better and I'm a remainer 😂. I read many comments where people say things like you have about London seeming a million miles away but that isn't London's fault it's just the view of people in Northern England 🏴 and the other two countries cause they feel they are not listened too. If we talk from a political point of view maybe the North of England 🏴 shouldn't have been so gullible and voted in the conservatives like they did in 2019, it's okay complaining about the state of things now but they voted for it and for Brexit. It is London that still has a Labour London Mayor and Scotland 🏴 has a SNP first minister (for now). While not a conservative and knowing there are many that live in the south the North should have always thought of it's own interests and how having a conservative government would play out for them. Mostly from what I pick up Southerns are targeted with Anti southern xenephobia by northern England 🏴 when it was the North that voted for this 🤷. This is an argument I've had with my Geordie father previously. London voted remain, Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle did not. But they all need someone to blame as they couldn't possibly accept what they voted for.
Tower Hamlets to be the 2nd most deprived London borough (after Barking and Dagenham) based on an average calculated across a range of indicators; with high rates of poverty, child poverty, unemployment and pay inequality compared to other London boroughs.
If there are 'no go' areas, surely it should have been addressed by the party in power, whoever they are? Such dereliction of duty would have been deemed criminal by the poster girl, Maggie, who positioned the Tories as the 'party of law and order'. But what happened?
Its 100% a no go area #facts Disclaimer: this fact is only 100% true if your a highly unpopular mp/pm, likely from the tory party, but not exclusvely, who wants to avoid contact with constituents who are keen to hold you to account, publicly, if they see you.
I lived in Mile End for two years, and 2 nights before I was due to move out of the city I was mugged at knifepoint by three men of non British descent
I live in the Balti Triangle which has now been labelled twice as a supposed no-go area by Katie Hopkins and Fox News a few years ago and again now. As a white guy in their fifties this is news to me, it is as safe to go out around here as anywhere I have encountered due to the lack of drunks. I can see how that might drive a lot of people away, but that scarcely qualifies as "no-go".
Funny in the fact that Canary Wharf is in Tower Hamlets... Huh. I don't live in England, let alone London; but surely it would be Canary Wharf that was the no-go area (same with Downing Street!)
IMP0 the only parts of the UK that are no go areas are anywhere within 3 meters of anyone on the far right of politics, they are best avoided at all costs, avoid them like the plague.
The MP must be jealous because nowadays Towerhamlets is a very posh area and filled with thousands of millionaires. The average salary is much higher than a poor MP's.
These are the gentrified areas of Tower Hamlets, if you go to the outskirts its a different story. Used to live there, as a woman, I left as no longer felt safe.
Interesting choice to only interview American tourists and white hipsters who simultaneously are gentrifying the area whilst loving its authenticity and wishing it didn’t become gentrified. Whilst not actually going anywhere near the largely Asian neighbourhoods and asking them about it. Talking “about them”, I guess, rather than to them.
What is the point of Ava sipping a beer at 0:25 or the last minute of "cute" montage like a teenager playing with her first mobile? I would have expected some data to disprove that claim, not just going around to ask a handful of people about it. How is this journalism?
Come on, Brick Lane? The most high profile and touristy part of TH. This piece would have carried more weight if you travelled out and spoke to people living in the borough. Just to clarify, the MPs comment made was absurd and this government deserves ridicule.
I remember living in Manchester as a student, Salford to be exact, but visited friends in seriously sketchy areas all over the world from Liverpool to London 😁 Wherever you go, bigger the city, bigger the rich and poor gap,and everything that goes with it. 🤑🫣🫤
I used to do a bit of garden maintenance in London working under a self-employed gaffer. I won't say the area we worked but it was plush. One day my gaffer pointed out a little detail about our service. At the client's request, we were never to talk with the client (even eye contact was frowned upon by a few) unless it was essential to the job at hand. Snobbery at it's finest.

@@fang_xianfuI think it's a behavioural change ( although some people are just born arrogant dicks). The moment some people get cash they become overtly protective/paranoid. The culture of wealth wraps them up with the notion that the poor deserve to be poor or otherwise they would be wealthy; it's almost like an unwritten doctrine among the money hoarders. They begin to see everyone without what they have as a threat. And they inevitably project their *covetous nature onto anyone who clearly does not have what they have. * I wasn't talking about Jewish peeps just in case you thought that was a biblical jibe at them.🤔...

There is rather a lot of not a lot in Shadwell (See Jago Hazzard Vids of some of the early railways he has shot around the area when talking about the DLR
I don’t think choosing to interview people on Brick Lane (famous tourist street) is really representative. In fact it’s probably the least representative street in the whole area.
@@ScrubbersGhost is that the one with the street market running from Cambridge Heath Road west toward Liverpool Street - probably my favourite road with better and cheaper kebab shops. My plumber when I ran a small busiess did get tools nicked from the van when around some bits of Bethnal Green though. (1989)
Given that 3 of the few she interviewed were American tourists who don't even live there! And one women said she jo longer lived there as had moved out! Didn't bother to ask her why though! Typical staged interviewed. How many women who lived there did she interview? None! So I wonder why she didn't and also ssk them if they felt safe going,out alone after dark? She was probably born around 1980s so would know nothing about how London used to be prior to early 70s, seeing what a dirty, graffittied dump it is now, why would anyone even want to live there?
She should have gone to the Mile End Road, Shadwell, London Mosque area - not Brick Lane - if you are going to make a video like this go somewhere where you do not interview Americans and hipsters. I did not see a single veil or young kid going to his Madrassa on a Friday etc. Stupid reporting. Get it right - at certain times and certain places you do not want to be in TA - I know I lived there
Wonder why you went to Brick Lane rather than Shadwell? Wouldnt have been many who could even answer your questions, unless you speak any other languages?? 🤣
used to do it all the time about 15 years ago, was often offered companionship by some of the ladies around the area ( with their african "boyfriends" in white beemers holding their purses. the overground running 24/7 twice a week changed the area completely (plus the islamic older me did a bit of your not welecome to them too)
I'm a transgender woman living in Bow in Tower Hamlets. I can walk home alone at 2am and still feel safe. It's the only area I've lived in, in the last 20 years that's been a community to everyone regardless of gender, colour and creed
Precisely, Standing on Bishopsgate and walking through bohemian Brick lane, in the day time, is so disingenuous it’s unbelievable that people consume this kind of media. I worked alongside female coworkers in London who noted a difference in how safe they felt at night between even just Aldgate and Aldgate East when trying to get the train home.
It's a vox pop, you don't just wander round housing estates and in tower blocks to interview people, because your really entering people's private space. If the people live in tower hamlets, they will have to walk through residential streets. Notice that no one talks about high crime near where I grew up in stoke, or Cheshire that are predominantly white as no go areas, especially given the monkey dust epidemics, a drug that is known to make people behave violently. I also lived in b Bristol and now I live in the south east, my behaviours no different? Would I walk along pretty much any street durring the day? yes. Do I feel like I should stick to busier, better lit roads at night? yes! Are there amazing places, people and communities in areas that have bad reputations, that mean I actively choose to go through them regularly? yes. Would I describe myself as actively feeling unsafe, no. The rhetoric of no go zones is they are not safe for white people to go in, its about racial hatred and xenophobia not about safety
So stupid, of course you'd have to be careful in areas where criminal activity is high. That doesn't make it a no-go area. A no-go area is something like a sundown town. Have some sense fgs.
Yes go to Stepney, where two minutes walk from the station there is a private hospital. Or further 5 minutes further up the road where Queen Mary with a huge campus is. Or less then minutes walk where you hit Roman Road which on it east side is saturated with coffee shops and little eateries. And Bethnal Green area with all its Shoreditch overspill. I suppose you wouldn't be able to pinpoint on a map where Fish Island is and how it looks now with Hackney Wick surrounding area. You have no clue what you are talking about mate, I suppose London is for you a foggy city with a lot barges on the river. You live way back in the past.

I'm not sure that Brick Lane is representative of Tower Hamlets, it is Shoreditch Hipster HQ. The number of people who used to get mugged walking from Bow Rd tube to the development I lived in in Fairfield Rd, E3, about 600m away, was phenomenal even 15 years ago. (Opposite Bow Rd station was yet another closed down Police Station)
I live in Tower Hamlets, in the heart of Whitechapel near the East London Mosque. The so-called 'Muslim Patrols' of years back were outsiders sent in by Anjem Choudary to disrupt the peace here and then, handy dandy, you get the 'Christian Patrols' coming in from Kent or Essex or wherever, far right thugs cruising round in decommissioned Gulf War land rovers wearing body armour and cracking open cans of lager outside the mosque. The local Muslims totally ignored them. Most of Anjem's boys were arrested and a few even did prison time. Then we had the Tommy Robinson EDL Rent a mob from all over trying to march through. Scully's remarks were out of order and very ignorant. It' not perfect here but most people get along pretty well most of the time, there are no 'no go areas' here!
I take it all these are insiders then. Police investigating the death of a woman in Tower Hamlets are appealing for witnesses to a fight that happened the night before she died. Police were called by London Ambulance Service to a residential address in Stainsby Road, E14 at 08:26hrs on Thursday, 8 February following reports that a 21-year-old woman had been found unconscious. Police have recovered a body after a man appeared a court accused of killing his wife, stuffing her body into a suitcase and dumping it into water.

Shea Gordon, 17, was running for his life when he was attacked outside the event on Lichfield Road, Tower Hamlets, on the evening of September 3, 2022.

This is why I say Politics Joe ISNT a serious channel & was it ever.. Standing just over from Liverpool St & going down Brick Lane during the daytime is taking the piss (because its in Tower Hamlets). Maybe go down some of the Housing estates after midnight & look what areas Tower Hamlets actually includes before you put this one sided video across. Maybe get yourself down to Stratford in the estates after Midnight as a female on her own & see what happens. A quick 10 second google shows you the area that "Tower Hamlets" covers. Did Eva does this? Canary Wharf is in Tower Hamlets. Are there ANY no Go area's in London.. NO, there is nothing stopping you going there but 15 yrs ago Females Friends said to me there are area's they wouldn't go on their own at night & could I come along.. For me for yrs & to this date. Are there ANY NO GO area's? NO but there are area's I WONT GO & always have been & Im a 6ft Male in my 50's. Maybe do some filming at Midnight & lets see if you still have your camera at the end of the Night in East London. "Tower Hamlets occupies much of what is traditionally known as the East End of London, a working-class area once infamous for its high population density and poverty. Some of the tallest buildings in London occupy Canary Wharf, one of the country's largest financial districts, in the south of the borough. A part of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is in Tower Hamlets. It was formed in 1965 by merger of the former metropolitan boroughs of Stepney, Poplar, and Bethnal Green. 'Tower Hamlets' was originally an alternative name for the historic Tower Division; the area of south-east Middlesex, focused on (but not limited to) the area of the modern borough, which owed military service to the Tower of London."
TBF some parts of the Bow/ Poplar end of TH do feel pretty sketchy. I got burgled twice in the space of a year when I lived there and had numerous run-ins with not-friendly gangs of teens
I agree that "no go area" has become a civ-nat cliche. But at the end of the day videos like this are also a liberal cliche whereby metropolitan media types insist that everything is hunky dory. I lived near Bethnal Green tube station for a number of years in the early 2000s and it was relatively common for "Western women" to be harrassed and told to "cover up" around the area of Bethnal Green library. Now would I call that a "no go area" - well I know of non-muslim women who avoided the area after dark. But does that mean that it was a hostile ethnic enclave like you would get in parts of Belfast at the height of the troubles - probably not. I imagine there are majority white estates where you will get more frequently abused if you are black or a hijabi. The same is true in certain streets in Luton when it comes to being English. It is just one of the unpleasant sides of a multi-ethnic society. And rich metropolitan types ignoring these issues just leads to a situation in which those of us who have first hand experience of ethnic tension are liable to exagerrating the phenomenon while you lot live in your own echo chamber and assume anybody with reservations about the value of "diversity" is some irrational pleb.
As an Uber Driver I can tell you there are No Go areas in London. Westminster during rush hour and Wandsworth Bridge Road southbound any weekday after about 14:30.

The Presenter with the mic at the beginning with views of the Gherkin is standing in Bishopsgate, the part that’s just over the boundary in the borough of Tower Hamlets, adjoins the Financial district, it’s a busy commercial and retail area near Liverpool Street station, the North American visitor interviewed is in Brick lane, a popular and sometimes disappointing tourist destination but adjacent to gentrified Spitalfields, also a popular location.
You are literally skirting around the periphery of the City… try going deeper into some of the most deprived parts of the borough. Whether it’s “no-go” is another question - I’ve never had a problem there.
I grew up in post-WWII Bethnal Green during the 1950's and couldn't wait to get out of it. When I go back now, after dreaming of "those good ol' days", I remember why my family left.

JUST LOOK AT THE VIDEO with its graffiti and grunge, etc. "What's too painful to remember, or currently see around us, we simply choose to forget or turn a blind eye to".
Graffiti is called street art in Brick Lane. They have literally paid artists in that district to do graffiti on the walls and tourists go there to see it in all its grungey glory!

I lived in Tower Hamlets (Poplar) between 2002 and 2011. I worked in Limehouse, Bow and in Hackney next door. My children were born at the Royal London in 2003 and 2005.

I have worked and socialised with English people, with Bangladeshis, never an issue. Anyone spouting these very old tropes on "no-go zones" is a fascist fear monger. As simple as that.

Shoreditch, Hackney, "Beffnal" Green, I actually miss the place. A lot of it's gentrified now and really changed. And, believe it or not, I never once had any trouble using Scottish Pound notes!
@@liammalarky3483 London is so diverse with people from all different places that's what makes it so great. Being a Londoner and growing up in Tower Hamlets with people around me who were not all English 🏴 I got to experience different cultures and I've tasted food I would never have known existed, my Scottish friend really wants me to go to Scotland 🏴 with her to try haggis as she now eats pie mash and green liquor cause I kept banging on at her to try it 😂. At first she kept saying 'I'm not eating green snot, now you can't stop her eating it 😂' my dad was a Geordie who moved to London before I came along and he was the same about the pie and mash 😂.In London we are all about diversity and enjoying the differences between us. I've read many things online from people who seem to dislike London, but I do think that's more the political aspect of it. I say to people who have never been 'come and visit and experience London for yourself, some people love it and some hate it but to me it's home and there's no place like it, I do think like anywhere you are you have to keep safe and try to avoid any dangerous situations around you. Hopefully you'll be back again in the future 👍🏻. Scottish notes should be easily accepted in England 🏴. I'm not sure why some places refuse it but I think it's cause they may have never seen a Scottish 🏴 note before ha ha 😂
@hey12542 jellied eels, pie n mash = food of the gods. I, too, was reticent at first, but when in Rome n all that. So I tried it, and it was amazing. Yes, you definitely have to try haggis, tatties, n neeps.

Not too nit-pick, but the minister said that "parts of Tower Hamlets are no-go areas". You appear to have visited the touristic and commercial centre of Tower Hamlets in an attempt to falsify his claim, whereas in fact you should have visited the worst parts. Also, you have interpreted "no-go" literally, whereas the minister meant that it was inadvisable to go to certain parts of Tower Hamlets, namely ethnic enclaves, if you were not part of the community. Indeed, I believe it was in Tower Hamlets that a mob of Muslim men tried to enforce Sharia Law. Still, facts and logic be dammed. Tories bad, multiculturalism good.
draw me a map of an ethnic enclave in TH
Spouting Sharia law in 2024 is embarrassing mate

You’ve hit the nail on the head. Let your daughters walk around at night then……….alone……they’ll be ok, it’s multiculturalism at its best😂
"Ethnic enclaves" in this case are just rough council estates/ ghettos, ubiquitous across most major cities globally.
Those patrol wankers were a bunch of bigots who surfaced over a decade ago and were rightly convicted and that stuff has never resurfaced.
Believe me, London has it's fair share of problems but to define any part of it as a "no-go zone" is nothing short of fear-mongering.

I haven't lived in Tower Hamlets, but my parents have and I have visited the area a few times. I think that 20-25 years ago the north was quite rough (and probably before that the south), but it's improved quite a lot since then. I mean its somewhere people buy anti-theft devices for their car and watch their valuables (heck, I've been to parts of England where people still don't lock their front door), but I've been there and I am perfectly comfortable walking around the area.
surprised you thought this video was adequate. the title is clickbait even. The MP didn't say brick lane specifically. you didn't cover any ground in the borough.
I live in Shoreditch, stones throw from Bricklane , hipster central. It’s a tourists hotspot, young generation hangout, from Thursday night the whole area is buzzing with young London professionals in bars , cafes, restaurants. The gentrification has made the area rich and I’ve lived here since 1980 and seen it change from slums to properties nearing a million. And this is in Tower Hamlets and Tories saying it’s no go area. You can’t move around in the weekends so many people from red church street down to Bricklane and all white professionals and European tourists, they are advised to visit cause of the curry restaurant and recent world food courts and market, Arts/ culture ,vintage shops in Bricklane. It’s also busy in the weekdays afternoon till late night.
yeah , too busy for me, i go down Bethnal Green Road. / Roman Road ( not as good as it used to be)

I read many comments where people say things like you have about London seeming a million miles away but that isn't London's fault it's just the view of people in Northern England 🏴 and the other two countries cause they feel they are not listened too. If we talk from a political point of view maybe the North of England 🏴 shouldn't have been so gullible and voted in the conservatives like they did in 2019, it's okay complaining about the state of things now but they voted for it and for Brexit. It is London that still has a Labour London Mayor and Scotland 🏴 has a SNP first minister (for now). While not a conservative and knowing there are many that live in the south the North should have always thought of it's own interests and how having a conservative government would play out for them. Mostly from what I pick up Southerns are targeted with Anti southern xenephobia by northern England 🏴 when it was the North that voted for this 🤷. This is an argument I've had with my Geordie father previously. London voted remain, Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle did not. But they all need someone to blame as they couldn't possibly accept what they voted for.

I live in the Balti Triangle which has now been labelled twice as a supposed no-go area by Katie Hopkins and Fox News a few years ago and again now. As a white guy in their fifties this is news to me, it is as safe to go out around here as anywhere I have encountered due to the lack of drunks. I can see how that might drive a lot of people away, but that scarcely qualifies as "no-go".

I prefer to call them "Don't Wanna Go" Areas.
Funny in the fact that Canary Wharf is in Tower Hamlets... Huh.
I don't live in England, let alone London; but surely it would be Canary Wharf that was the no-go area (same with Downing Street!)
'... surely it would be Canary Wharf that was the no-go area ...'. Most definitely. There are security guards and barriers all over the place.
"CLOWN" is talking "RUBBISH"
IMP0 the only parts of the UK that are no go areas are anywhere within 3 meters of anyone on the far right of politics, they are best avoided at all costs, avoid them like the plague.
The MP must be jealous because nowadays Towerhamlets is a very posh area and filled with thousands of millionaires. The average salary is much higher than a poor MP's.
These are the gentrified areas of Tower Hamlets, if you go to the outskirts its a different story. Used to live there, as a woman, I left as no longer felt safe.
Interesting choice to only interview American tourists and white hipsters who simultaneously are gentrifying the area whilst loving its authenticity and wishing it didn’t become gentrified. Whilst not actually going anywhere near the largely Asian neighbourhoods and asking them about it. Talking “about them”, I guess, rather than to them.

"Tower Hamlets occupies much of what is traditionally known as the East End of London, a working-class area once infamous for its high population density and poverty. Some of the tallest buildings in London occupy Canary Wharf, one of the country's largest financial districts, in the south of the borough. A part of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is in Tower Hamlets. It was formed in 1965 by merger of the former metropolitan boroughs of Stepney, Poplar, and Bethnal Green. 'Tower Hamlets' was originally an alternative name for the historic Tower Division; the area of south-east Middlesex, focused on (but not limited to) the area of the modern borough, which owed military service to the Tower of London."

I wonder whether she will stick around and send her kids to the muslim-dominated schools in the area. I doubt it....
Where are the hijabis? Why didn’t you go down the street in Bethnal Green with the PLO flags flying?
They most likely went to interview people who aren't visibly Muslim because it's obvious what the tories mean here
I agree that "no go area" has become a civ-nat cliche. But at the end of the day videos like this are also a liberal cliche whereby metropolitan media types insist that everything is hunky dory. I lived near Bethnal Green tube station for a number of years in the early 2000s and it was relatively common for "Western women" to be harrassed and told to "cover up" around the area of Bethnal Green library. Now would I call that a "no go area" - well I know of non-muslim women who avoided the area after dark. But does that mean that it was a hostile ethnic enclave like you would get in parts of Belfast at the height of the troubles - probably not. I imagine there are majority white estates where you will get more frequently abused if you are black or a hijabi. The same is true in certain streets in Luton when it comes to being English. It is just one of the unpleasant sides of a multi-ethnic society. And rich metropolitan types ignoring these issues just leads to a situation in which those of us who have first hand experience of ethnic tension are liable to exagerrating the phenomenon while you lot live in your own echo chamber and assume anybody with reservations about the value of "diversity" is some irrational pleb.
As an Uber Driver I can tell you there are No Go areas in London. Westminster during rush hour and Wandsworth Bridge Road southbound any weekday after about 14:30. Also I don't love driving in Camden. Oh, and Stokey, terrible one way system.
Also, The Kings Road on a Friday/Saturday night if you don't want some posh twat trying to buy coke off you.
Wandsworth bridge road is a horror now. Get fined on the side streets, my friend lives on it.
This is filmed in brick lane which is a tourist street and as such will have regular police patrols as well as lots of plain clothes officers ….go 300 meters east to the chicksand housing estate or any council estate in London for that matter and see how long it takes before you get weighed…
During the middle of the day its fine....
try the other end of that road🤣🤣🤣
He didn't say "Parts of London", he said "Parts of Tower Hamlets"... You conveniently chose to go to Brick Lane, which obviously wasn't going to be one of the parts he was refering to 🤣
You should do a video on Bradford city and why it has the highest rate of babies born with health defects due to Asian incest relations.
To be fair he said "parts of" Tower Hamlets and she picked Brick Lane which is definitely not a no-go zone in Tower Hamlets.
then that's on him for not being specfific
just proves he was making shit up if he can't name the exact fucking area now, innit? surely he knows which ones, so instead of conspiratorial vagueries that borderline on xenophobia he can be precise and call it out road for road
To the American woman. I have lived in London all my life and there are no go areas. Londo is a sh it hole.
Okay name 5 no go areas
@@gHGhej Brent,hackney, Brixton tower Hamlets and ilford. Let me know if you need more. Hahaha. Tower Hamlets is a shit hole with no British people left. I forgot croydon. Have you been to harlesden.? You have to be insane if you think harlesden is not a no go area.
Let me add filthy disgusting Wembley high road,neasden willesden.is that enough?
@@gHGhejShadwell, Wapping, crisp street, Canning Town, East Ham and Plaistow, Hackney, Walthamstow, Whitechapel, Barking, Redbridge, Becton. . .The list is endless of no go areas.
Forest gate.
The Presenter with the mic at the beginning with views of the Gherkin is standing in Bishopsgate, the part that’s just over the boundary in the borough of Tower Hamlets, adjoins the Financial district, it’s a busy commercial and retail area near Liverpool Street station, the North American visitor interviewed is in Brick lane, a popular and sometimes disappointing tourist destination but adjacent to gentrified Spitalfields, also a popular location.
You are literally skirting around the periphery of the City… try going deeper into some of the most deprived parts of the borough. Whether it’s “no-go” is another question - I’ve never had a problem there.
I grew up in post-WWII Bethnal Green during the 1950's and couldn't wait to get out of it. When I go back now, after dreaming of "those good ol' days", I remember why my family left. It seems to me we have a lot of Marie Antoinettes and latter-day artsy-types posting here. JUST LOOK AT THE VIDEO with its graffiti and grunge, etc.
"What's too painful to remember, or currently see around us, we simply choose to forget or turn a blind eye to".
Graffiti is called street art in Brick Lane. They have literally paid artists in that district to do graffiti on the walls and tourists go there to see it in all its grungey glory!
@@jujutrini8412
I could piss up a Brick Lane wall and call it unique street art. But would it really be art?
@@aldgatewest The poshos call it art. I am merely one of the hoi polloi so I haven’t the money, kudos or social status to answer that question. 😂
@@jujutrini8412still looks like a sht hole.
Make yer mind up. Either you couldn't wait to get the fuck out or they were the "good ol' days" Contrary Mary.
I used to work there and I never saw a white face in Bromley by Bow.
I used to live there, I saw plenty, including my own. 😉
Whatever - queen mary university is right next to it - what on earth you on about
Yes I can see that being a problem for a racist.
My father-in-law is from Bromley-by-Bow and he has a white face because he's white.
Thanks for reading
Is that a problem? If so why?
Did you pick the best part of tower hamlets. And the people you spoke to were not very diverse , seems like you white washed it all to paint a false impression.
I lived in Tower Hamlets (Poplar) between 2002 and 2011. I worked in Limehouse, Bow and in Hackney next door. My children were born at the Royal London in 2003 and 2005. I have surveyed and canvassed several areas on behalf of the recycling company which subcontracted to the Council at the time.
I NEVER, NOT ONCE have felt unsafe or threatened anywhere within TH. I have worked and socialised with English people, with Bangladeshis, never an issue.
Anyone spouting these very old tropes on "no-go zones" is a fascist fear monger. As simple as that.
Yup, it's a vibrant, multiethnic area, that means by definition it must be miserable. That's their worldview.
We know you're lying Jorge. But you're just another foreigner desperate to fit in aren't you
2011? You lived there 13 years ago? Not much can change in 13 years i guess huh
@@MichaelJ44Mate, I'm just saying, where do you live? As in, generally?
Nothing has changed in 13 years seriously. If you visit as a racist though your experience will of course be different
That kebab looks like a no go area to me….
I think you will go quite well, both ends
Judging by the graffitti, the state of the place, who would want to go there!
If only we could make the whole UK a ''no go'' area for Tories.
