There was something about this tweet by Home Secretary Sajid Javid that made people furious
10.
A Hope Not Hate report this week found that 30% of British people wrongly believe there are “no go areas” in the UK ruled by sharia law, where non-Muslims cannot enter. When the home secretary uses the phrase in tweets it’s perhaps no wonder. https://t.co/WycqfVkWsB

Religious hate crimes up 40% in the last year alone. Shame on you @sajidjavid. Words have consequences and your pandering to the far right increases the risk of violence against British Asians. https://t.co/G8gtdhcg9f https://t.co/9Ti5Kqvib7

Why did the word “Asian” need to be in this tweet? https://t.co/NVQs7FXjYW

Wow. A Home Secretary bringing race into it. What has the fact they are Asian got to do with it? https://t.co/Kq2jtoH76i

In the US the myth of ‘no-go areas’ in the UK is regularly parped out by MAGA chuds. It’s a far right, racist dog whistle. Javid chucking it around is a very disturbing development. https://t.co/mUSLjQiS8V

To refer to criminals by their ethnicity crosses a new line for a British Home Secretary; another new low for a government already breaking all records for plumbing the depths. https://t.co/FMxuiXblfH
