Daily Mail lambasted after listing British towns that are ‘no-go areas for white people’

"It should never become acceptable to normalise the far right," one person tweeted in response.

The Daily Mail has sparked a fierce backlash after publishing a list of towns it considers to be ‘no-go areas for white people’.

The piece noted several locations including Bradford, Blackburn and Dewsbury; Didsbury, Cardiff, Edinburgh and more as places where families live under “Taliban-like rules” and women “can’t leave the home without permission.”

Unsurprisingly, people on social media were quick to rubbish such reports, as well as admonish the Mail for publishing such an inflammatory article, with several people labelling it as “outright racism.”

Outright racism from the Daily Mail. That Bradford is a no-go zone for white people must come as a tremendous shock for the hundreds of thousands of white people who live and work in the city. Screenshot not link because don’t support this hate filled divisive rubbish. pic.twitter.com/8VnjSUzwx5

Ash Sarkar pointed out that there aren’t any Muslim no-go areas in the UK, “only places that The Daily Mail aren’t confident that it’s readership would feel uncomfortable in”, to which one person responded that the only time he has been attacked is with offerings of baked goods during religious festivals.

I'm A4 paper white and I live and work in one of these no-go areas. If by "attacked for being white" you mean the neighbours come round with a pot of biryani and samosas whenever they have a religious holiday, then yes I've been attacked multiple times. https://t.co/uPw82dzWW8

Alan Ferrier responded in a similar ilk, while Daniela Nadj made a more serious point about the normalisation of the far right in the UK.

Yer actual Daily Mail claiming that Edinburgh and Glasgow are "no-go" areas for white people.

It should never become acceptable to normalise the far right. Whether it's the far right contesting seats in constituencies where an MP was murdered by a neo Nazi, or whether it's the Daily Mail printing articles that decry "no go areas" for white people. It's not acceptable.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
