The American right used to go on and on about "no-go" zone in Britain.  I thought it was complete bullshit, but this year football fans from a certain country were told not to show up in a certain city because it wouldn't be safe.  So I guess there are no-go zones now?

Also, this Egyptian guy, was he the same lot that got gunned down while people on Languish cheered 10-15 years ago? 
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I laughed for a good, solid, minute at your post. Just scrolling by now brings a chuckle. :ccr

This happens quite often in European competitions.
E.g.

There's far more "no go zones" in the US than the UK.

The no-go zones in my city are a couple of tiny areas that are 100% white. Essentially the council puts all its most problematic families in the same couple of sink estates. These are the sort of areas which taxis do not go to and where a visiting ambulance of fire engine is stoned. It is like fractional distillation but with people. One of my walks takes me through the main Muslim area of the town, about half Muslim I would say, slightly less if anything, it is perfectly safe and even has quite nice vibes for what is a poor area.
