Who couldn't have seen this coming? No go areas in Yorkshire are devisive and not helpful to community race relationships.
"A COUNCIL in West Yorkshire council has warned community and race relations in the region show an "extremely worrying downward trend", two years after residents raised concerns over "no-go" areas...Fewer than half of those questioned in Dewsbury, Mirfield and Heckmondwike thought people within different ethnic groups were getting on...The most pessimistic outlook was in Heckmondwike (42 per cent), followed by Mirfield on 43 per cent."
Now what possible 'ethnic group' could be at the crux of this growing "race" problem........could it be muslims???
Bradford = "In 2006, it was estimated that ...Nearly half of all Asians living in Yorkshire and the Humber live in Bradford, with one district, Frizinghall, having the highest concentration of Pakistanis in England and Wales, making up 73% of the local population.[10] Accordingly, the city has a large Islamic population, with 16.08% of the population identifying themselves as Muslim in the 2001 census.[30]
The crime rate in Bradford is significantly higher than the national average.[36]... The city was shown to have the highest level of gun crime in the country, and was amongst the top 5 for incidents of burglary, rape, assault and vehicle crime."[37][38 SOURCE
What might cause the indigenous people of Yorkshire to take issue with the opprobrious muslim population in their midst? - Here are a few - but far from all - of the possible reasons:
2 young muslim men planned on blowing up local political group
Dewsbury born mufti hates British way of life
Young British boy beaten to a pulp and robbed by muslims
Violent muslim protests cause Mecca bingo hall to change its 100+ year old name
Yorkshire - Eastern Europeans targeted and attacked by angry muslim men
Muslim men - who groomed young British girls for sex - sent to prison
Kirklees female mayor snubbed by muslim constituency
Muslim prisoners sue for millions because they were offered ham sandwiches
Anti British hate speech being preached at Leeds Grand Mosque
Drugs and hardening hatred of British festering in Leeds
Muslims furious that some Walker's crisps contain miniscule amounts of alcohol
Muslim man jailed for selling DVDs that glorified 9/11 attacks/murders
Dhimmi classes set for Kirklees police officers
Clearly much of the muslim population is not a group that wants to assimilate into Britain but rather a group that loudly, obnoxiously and violently wants to convert Britain into an Islamic nation.
Also causing deep resentment among not just the Yorkshire people but majority of all British people is the incessant use of the word "racist" to annihilate anyone who wants to express concern with anti-social/assimilation muslim behaviours or points out problems with rampant muslim immigration. All this occurs even though muslims are not a race - a fact the mainstream media occasionally trots out - when it suits their purposes. How many times have we read or heard someone preface a comment or statement of clear fact regarding muslims or any minority group with "I'm not a racist, but......"?
Incredulous as it sounds the majority of the British culture and indigenous people are deemed "racist" by their virtual being. Yes, the British people en masse -living their lives in the land of their ancient ancestors - are now marginalised and condemned. Parts of Yorkshire are now so Islamicised that many white British people feel like an alien in their own home town.
Add to that the myriad of British/Western customs, laws, mores, etc that are now denounced as offending muslims (aka Islamophobia) - by muslims living in Britain and their Western-hating-multiculturalist dhimmis - and you can understand why the British people fear the decline of Britain. as the Country marches down the one-way street of Islam.
The harsh reality is the political ideology called Islam is THE block to muslim integration - thus to expect lasting community cohesiveness in any area with a burgeoning muslim population is an illusion at best.

Race relations go downhill two years after 'no-go area' fears
by Andrew Robinson
Fewer than half of those questioned in Dewsbury, Mirfield and Heckmondwike thought people within different ethnic groups were getting on.
The most pessimistic outlook was in Heckmondwike (42 per cent), followed by Mirfield on 43 per cent.
Kirklees Council leader, Labour councillor Mehboob Khan, said community cohesion is "showing an extremely worrying downward trend" in places such as Mirfield.
"The findings are a concern, but we have identified this issue at an early stage," he said. "The survey data we collect has allowed us to tailor our follow-up work to the needs of each area. We are being proactive in understanding and tackling perceptions in Mirfield and other areas before it becomes a bigger problem.
"It is important to stress that Mirfield is far from being alone, in Kirklees, regionally or nationally, in showing these perceptions. This isn't an unusual trend
"The survey figures, although worrying, do not indicate any particular tensions, but we are working with our partners and with the community to find out more and help improve things."
Coun Khan spoke to the Yorkshire Post following a political row about the council paying consultants £14,000 to carry out further research on community relations across Kirklees – including Mirfield – including giving £25 shopping vouchers to those attending meetings.
Mirfield Tory councillor Vivien Lees described the £25 payments as a waste of money and a bribe.
"I was appalled to hear that the council are actually paying people to attend such meetings. This is nothing more than a bribe.
"There are eight such meetings, six of which are in North Kirklees (Dewsbury area), and payment to those attending will amount to £2,000.
"A total budget of £14,000 has been allocated for these forums and a private firm has been employed to oversee this project.
"Even allowing for room hire for these forums there will be a handsome profit for the company involved. It is money for old rope and a scandal to be using council taxpayers' money in this way when there is a recession on and council employees are in fear of losing their jobs."
Coun Khan hit back, saying: "The Tories began the incentives payments when they were in control; we have continued them as they are common practice in consultations where groups are asked to help shape future strategy."
He added: "It's a matter of a few hundred pounds in shopping vouchers and this work helps us to find out the reasons for poor community cohesion.
"The only effective way of doing this is to invite a cross-section of the community. They then receive a thank you for giving up several hours of their time, but this is standard best practice in the public and private sector."
The concerns about community relations in Kirklees were raised in a 2007 report in which white and ethnic minority residents claimed there were "no go" areas for different races.
The report said that schools were "highly segregated" and that "white flight" was a factor in the segregation of schools along ethnic lines.
It warned that confusion and doubt were hampering progress and leaders were not doing enough to challenge misconceptions.
You have a great blog here. I'm a first-time visitor but I like what I'm seeing. I have a blog myself where people from all around the world come and debate on popular issues. I think you would provide some valuable insight to us all. Also, I was wondering if we could do a link exchange. If you would like to, please leave a comment under my "Compadres" page saying when you have my link up and I'll return the favor.
Please let me know.

TheO
You continue to do an excellent job highlighting the underbelly of our so-called 'multicultural, multifaith society', i.e. carte blanche for the organised crime racket known as British Islam to run amok - unmolested by law enforcement, government and their supine leftist cohorts in the mainstream media.
Keep up the fight.

Thank you for telling it like it is, I have come back to this country after six years in Japan and the state of it makes me want to either cry or be sick.
Coming back from a country like Japan where people are proud of who they are, their cultures and traditions and are very welcoming to any one who wants to go there, learn about their ways and play by their rules but have zero tolerance for any one else and who incidently have some of the lowest street crime in the world, back to my home country where it seems i am supposed to be embarressed and ashamed about my own traditions and cultures and i am supposed to hand everything away on a plate to people with utterly no respect for the place is disgusting. And for the people who accuse me of racism for airing these views, that doesnt work as my wife is japanese!

Can somebody tell me where I and my family can go and live please?
Just as long as it isn't in GB or an Islamic country. The white indigenous population are becoming the subject of persecution by the Islamicists and government.
If I was younger, I would have emigrated, but it's too late now I fear. There is nowhere for the likes of me and my family.

Constructive comments instead of moaning would surely be better?
