I think the reason for calling it 'white flight' is to sensationalise and appeal to a certain segment of society that loves to jump on anything that fits in with their poisoned and naieve view of the world.

Oh and for what it's worth, when I first read the title I thought exactly as Nacro does. You just can't fit colour into matters like this when it suits and expect no questions, end of.

Both.
I wasn't pulling you up on your spelling snazy merely quoting you as it looked wrong but I really wasn't sure. As I've alluded to here I have real problems with my written english these days, particularly spelling as I don't use it much other than posting here and a few other english language websites.

Or perhaps it ought to be why those certain areas are predominantly areas of high coloured population?
Anyways, to get back to the original post, who else thinks that Jacqui Smith will have MEANT something slightly different by early next week, been misquoted by the following week, and won't have said it at all by next month?
Lying Labour, eh?

By next week it will have changed to the fact that she feels perfectly safe anywhere in the UK and goes for long walks at two in the morning!
What a statement to make for goodness sake! Just shows the true level of her ability, about the same as the rest of the useless plonkers with a ministry to run in this bunch!

There are areas in London I wouldnt really choose to go to - But I suspect that at has always been the case.
Any perceived increases in crime are anecdotal, as the BCS statistically shows that crime has not risen significantly in the last decade or so, and has indeed dropped in some areas.
However, of course what the BCS cannot possibly show is unreported crime, which by definition is an unknown quantity.
