While we're on the subject of 'no-go' areas, allow me to point you in the direction of last Friday's Woman's Hour on Radio 4.
To be honest, Woman's Hour is a bit of a 'no-go' area for me. I've always been a Ken Bruce man myself.
But a third of its listeners are men, one of whom, Mail reader Barry Gower from the Isle of Dogs, suggested I catch up with an item the programme broadcast about the suitability of women for police firearms duty.
The officer in charge explained that there were no barriers to women being deployed in specialist weapons units - bar one.
"Young black males and Muslim males don't react well to being told what to do by a woman," she said. "So we adapt and overcome and use a male officer."
So that's all right, then. What happens if a female member of SO19 confronts an Islamic suicide bomber about to blow himself up on the Tube?
Does she shout: "Armed police! Put your hands on your head and get down on your knees NOW!"?
Or does she say: "I'm so sorry to trouble you sir but would you mind awfully not detonating your device until I have had the opportunity to summon a male officer who will be able to arrest you in a manner appropriate to your cultural sensitivities"?
And given that most gun crime is committed by black youths, does that mean women officers will never be sent to tackle members of the Crayzee Eyzes Killas Posse involved in a drive-by shooting for fear that they might refuse to surrender themselves to no filthy bitch ho, innit?

“So that’s all right, then. What happens if a female member of SO19 confronts an Islamic suicide bomber about to blow himself up on the Tube?”
She shoots him, under Operation Kratos guidelines. Rather silly example.
The officer in charge will be fired for saying the truth about women as police officers and blacks committing crime.
