Racist areas. I assume Tower Hamlets doesn’t get that badge despite also having an infamous racist murder.

afaik no pub in tower hamlets has hosted a blood and honour gig in at least 10 years. the same cannot be said of some other areas.
C18’s pub and stamping ground was in Tower Hamlets.

Not a legal expert, but I did wonder if the Communications Act could be the best chance of any charges, but does it reach the threshold of 'grossly offensive'?
Clearly it's offensive, but according to the guidelines it would need to go beyond that, and I am not sure it does.
My gut feeling is that they will not be prosecuted.

All The the action is down south these days - apart from hipster fascists like Nazi potters and an odd cul de sac soi disant intellectual grouping, tower hamlets is mostly stickering under cover of darkness . The glory days of beakon are last century . The motherland of welling is where it is at. Along with penge for the pound shop Britain firsters
As was the murder of Stephen Lawrence and the Welling protests.

Nope. Here are the results from this year. By this measure we can say 94-95% of the population there do not support the right/fash:

well spotted. now, if only you could find something in tower hamlets to compare with the more recent b&h gigs hosted in welling, that'd be grand.

no you can't, that's a leap too far. the bnp and ukip are busted flushes now, but other fascist groups? perhaps the hostile environment so proudly pursued by the government ticks right-wing boxes. ok, you can say 94/95% of the pop there don't support the right/fash. but you'd need to make a more persuasive case if you wanted other people to believe you.

It may look that way from behind your computer screen!
Ever been there? Did you grow up just south of there? Do you go through there on a daily basis?
Also might wanna check previous elections as opposed this just this years!
"The New Addington wards saw one of the highest turnouts of British National Party supporters during the 2002 and 2006 council elections, which the BNP described as their "heyday decade," however it never elected a local councillor from the party – it's slate of councillors has been consistently Labour. Except on one occasion in 2010, where a Conservative councillor was elected for the first time since 1968. Historically, Labour's strength in the area had been on the council estates, particularly New Addington, but in 2014, Labour support was reduced by UKIP, gauging 24% of the overall vote."

I don’t follow B&H gigs too keenly, however there was one (or similar) in Scotland a year or two back (Edinburgh?) and I’m fairly certain the entire area hasn’t been written off as racist as a result. There’s also the issue of B&H organisers being coy about the nature of their events whilst booking venues.
Furthermore, B&H gigs attract boneheads from across the U.K. and Europe, they’re generally not catering for the local clientele.

Nothing will happen, enough cunts out there view this stuff as nothing more than “banter”, it’s just the “snowflakes” complaining etc.
These people have never gone away, but they’re emboldened again. I’ll only be surprised if they were the only people making this particular “joke” round a fire this year

if i say several things have occurred in an area which lead me to say it's an area of infamy, i mean the sequence to be taken as a whole - as it is as a whole that the events have impressed me.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Their brief will have told them to get themselves down to a police station soonest in the hope of back footing local old bill if they hadn’t seen the media. Hopefully this won’t be the case, a first account interview and then bail while the CPS review if there are any offences, and if they have any sense local CPS will kick it upstairs to whatever special cases are called this month.
Wait and see but as lots have people have said, what’s on the abhorrent video probably isn’t a crime in England.
If they do get to see inside a court I suspect they will overcome their current views and have an all BME defence team...

Sorry to lower the tone of discussion here, but surely that must become the first sentence of the great book that will make you rich and famous. Yeah! All be happy for not-bono-ever! Joy.
Except that, things being what they are, and people also, it would inconveniently happen that your publisher has arranged your book launch in some big hotel in Welling (other venues being not available)
So you are stuck with an audience full of the mayor or whatever - the fine burgers and burgessesss (my precioussss) all proud that you will launch your book in their town, and give reading of of it.
And then.

Areas known for having those sentiments amongst the population often openly so. Their accents and environment didn't suggest TH to me.
What point do you want to make about TH?
