I am afraid it is AOG ! As HC has said above, one daft Yank, who was 100% wrong.
A few years ago, I met an American, in the States, that insisted that during the foot and mouth epidemic of 2006, all us Brits were forbidden to walk anywhere, and that we all had pits filled with disinfectant fitted in front of our houses.
I suggested that, as far as he was concerned, it was a case of a foot IN mouth, rather than foot and mouth but my attempt at satire fell on stony ground, as it often does with our Colonial Cousins.

Some people refer to this station as:
Fox News
Others, perhaps more accurately refer to it as:
Fox...News?
In your defence, this is indeed an old story, but the new story is that Fox are being fined....therefore it's a legitimate post for AB. But I don't know what else can be said. It's just another example of lax broadcasting standards...bad, but no where NEAR as bad as some others (eg. the Reza Aslan debacle).

>>I'd love to know where the no go areas are in Birmingham, so I can and experience it for myself.
I live on the edge of Birmingham and there are certainly areas of Birmingham I would not feel comfortable going in to.
A couple of years ago I had a gas man came to my house as we had a gas leak.
He told me there are certain areas of Birmingham where they have to go in pairs when responding to a gas leak for safety reasons.
In one area he had an "ethnic" man stick his head in his car window and say "what is a white man doing in this area, we don't want any white men here"
He told them he had come to fix a gas leak in a person's house and he was "allowed in" but he felt very threatened.
