/// Communities Secretary Eric Pickles accused Mr Farage of ‘pandering to peoples’ worst fears’ and branded his comments ‘irresponsible and wrong’. ///

/// But Mr Pickles said the comments were ‘irresponsible and wrong’, and accused the Ukip leader of both ‘running down’ Britain and ‘pandering to peoples’ worst fears’. ///

Notice that Mr Pickles falls short of saying "it is all lies".

I do believe he is telling the truth, its a big part in a very big problem!

The trouble is people are scared to comment on this subject for fear of being called a racist, I live in a city where there are 'no go' areas or ghettos, Polish, Indians, Afro Caribbeans, Romanians etc, all stick together and the vast majority do not, and do not want to, integrate with white British people.

Well done Nigel Farage for speaking out about it!!

Nice to see he was answering a presenter on Fox News who wasn't afraid to tell it how it is, pity we don't have such presenters as Mr Hannity on our national news channels, who are prepared to enter into discussion with Nigel Farage about the immigration problems facing the UK today instead of trying to constantly ridicule him.

/// The Ukip leader was interviewed yesterday by presenter Sean Hannity on the causes of the Paris massacre, following his comments last week in which he blamed a ‘fifth column’ and ‘gross multiculturalism’ for the attacks. ///

/// In yesterday’s interview, Mr Hannity asked why Britain and other countries had allowed ‘people to come to the country, not assimilate, separate, take their land ostensibly and then risk even being at war with them’. ///

You can always tell when a politician lies,there lips move

[retrocop]

Yes IMO he is telling it as it is and is not afraid to do so. Good for him.

[dannyk13]

Good morning Retro.How are you today?

[retrocop]

Quite well danny thank you. Still on Chemo but no side effects yet!
Sorry aog for hi-jack

[dannyk13]

Biscuits?

[jim360]

Ah yes, Sean Hannity, that bastion of sensible journalism.

[Old_Geezer]

No time to do more than scan the article but I think it is probably mostly conjecture based on articles we've read in the press. If there are specific incidents that Mr Farage can show that would help answer this, but it doesn't seem an unreasonable claim. Maybe not as severe as he would like to claim.

However the acceptance of folk using "Sharia Law" as an arbitration is enough to cause concern. There is no indication that folk will not be made to feel they have to go by its "recommendations", effectively replacing the official way we solve issues in this country.

[bazwillrun]

you could easily replace "Birmingham" , with Leicester, Blackburn , Luton, Most of Brent and theres more...and the list will get longer....

He was pretty near damn bang on...god know why hes apologising

[jourdain2]

Well, yes, he is telling the truth, certainly about Shariah Law. There was no secret about Sharia operating in Bradford, in fact I remember an article in the paper where elders were explaining how they worked and justifying it - and there are areas one avoids. My sister avoids Bradford completely now (she lives one side and works on the other, but drives the long way round).

[anotheoldgit]

Is this all part of Sharia law that we fail to take action against?

/// John Cameron, NSPCC Head of Child Protection Operations, said: ///

/// “This is great news for the fight against FGM. The fact that we hadn’t previously had a prosecution in the UK for this child abuse despite it being a crime for almost 30 years is unacceptable. ///

100,000 women in Britain have under gone this illegal operation but no prosecution in 30 years

There are areas of Leeds and Bradford that are 'no go' zones to anyone who is not from the area concerned. (Trying to be PC here).
Even the Police don't dare tread in some housing estates unless the issue is serious. I imagine this issue is in many cities in Britain. How many times do you travel through an area and lock your car doors / pocket your nice watch or simply avoid the area ? These are the places Farage is mentioning. They are gradually increasing in number with seemingly nothing stopping their spread. Roll on UKIP.

[Graham-W]

Reminds me of Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" speech. Alarmist and unnecessary almost 49 years ago. Still alarmist and unnecessary.

[jim360]

How much of that is down to perception and how much to reality, though, Iggle-piggle?

[Orderlimit]

Mr Pickles . . . and are taking firm action to stop the criminal abuse of children. Mr Farage should show some leadership rather than pandering to peoples’ worst fears.

Far too late Mr Pickles and it's these sort of issues we need 'leadership' on instead of ignoring it until it gets found out.

[mikey4444]

I know of no city in the UK which is under Sharia Law. There may be places where some of the citizens voluntarily put themselves under Sharia Law, but that is not the same. It does not from part of our judicial system, and Farage is stirring up racial hatred in the same way as Mosley did before WW2.

As a Catholic, I was supposed to go to Mass on Sunday, Confession on Saturday, eat no meat on Fridays, and give up sweets and chocolates for Lent, but I desisted from all that nonsense when I was 16 years of age.

A thunderbolt has yet to strike me down and I am pushing 62.

[Orderlimit]

"...and Farage is stirring up racial hatred in ..."

If you really believe this is inciting racism and you state you tackle racism at every opportunity can I ask if you have reported the matter to the police - as you keep saying 'it only takes a few good men ..

[Iggle Piggle]

Some of the naysayers here need to travel more widely in the UK. Really. It is correct that these 'areas' are not strict Sharia but those who self-govern within such housing estates make them their own and outsiders are not welcome. It is not alarmist, it is a stark statement of reality. Be a debt collector, travel a little and see what this country has become in places.

[jourdain2]

I will vouch for the accuracy of Iggle Piggle's posts on this subject so far.
