Serving police officers today backed Donald Trump's claim that some Muslim communities in the UK are no-go areas because of extremism.
Several Met officers have said the 'Islamification' of some parts of the capital requires 'extra vigilance' and they can't wear uniforms for safety reasons - despite Scotland Yard claiming the tycoon 'couldn't be more wrong'.
Home Secretary Theresa May tonight rejected Mr Trump's claims, insisting: 'The police in London are not afraid to go out and police the streets.'
The US presidential contender caused worldwide consternation yesterday after a string of incendiary remarks about Muslims, including in Britain, and said: 'We have places in London and other places that are so radicalised that police are afraid for their own lives.'
But one serving officer said today Trump had 'pointed out something plainly obvious, something which I think we aren't as a nation willing to own up to'.
Another policeman said that he and other colleagues fear being terror targets and spoke of the 'dire warning' from bosses not to wear a uniform 'even in my own car'.
It came as more than 250,000 people - seven people every second - signed a petition demanding Mr Trump is banned from Britain for being a 'hate preacher'

Can’t wait to get my “Donald J. Trump: Banned in Britain” bumper sticker.
a string of incendiary remarks?
Just the truth! They can’t stand the truth!!!!
All of the knee jerk reactions by liberals, progressives, the DNC, the MSM, GOPe, and others against it is just hype, ignorance, and lies.
It is the same in England with what Trump said about the condition of London.
He is stating the obvious and doing it in a way that may be PC...but most of us feel fine that he is doing it precisely in that manner.
It drives those groups that I just mentioned batty...both here and over in Europe.
Bully for Trump.
...and as regards his proposal here in the U.S. that is drawing so much negative attention by those same groups, well, what is the truth of the matter?
Is Trump's proposal illegal? Is his proposal un-Constitutional? Is his proposal un-American?
Read the following.
Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
This is in the U.S. Code of Laws. It was passed by Congress in 1952 and has been the law of the land ever since. And, by the way, at the time it was passed by a Democratic Congress.
So, to be clear, if the President determines that murders/killers/enemies are infiltrating any group of people to do harm to America, he has been given the power by Congress to stop or restrict that groups immigration or non-immigration status and ability to come into the country by proclamation. This is precisely what Trump has proposed…and for obvious reasons.
It is NOT un-American, it is U.S. Law.
It is NOT un-Constitutional, Article 6 Paragraph 3 of the U.S. Constitution regarding no religious test refers specifically and only to the election of Congress...not to immigration.
As President, Donald Trump would have full legal authority under U.S. Law to do exactly what he has proposed.
All of the hype, outrage, and statements to the contrary are either political grandstanding, abject ignorance of the law, or willful lies regarding the issue.
The world needs Trump.
UK deserves Sharia based on their love of their own blood flowing through the streets.
The UK cannot be saved!
Trump should throw some Land Rovers in the Hudson.
I would take it as a badge of honor.
So if I understand this correctly, the Brits want to ban Trump for banning Muslims. And they see no incongruity in their moral position.
Things that make you go hmmmm.......
I dare say PMs rarely take to the ‘hoods’ where Muslim’s rule...........
The 'natives' are restless.
Well that’s going to be awkward when President Trump is banned from travel to the UK.
The British are what Thatcher warned GHWB of becoming.
Happened to Savage first.
The irony of this petition to keep someone out of the country because he wants to keep people out of his.
They don’t even see it.
Political correctness is killing England.
In 1952 this would have been passed by a Rep. Senate; a Democrat House and signed by a Democrat President,, Harry Truman.
