MP Apologizes for Controversial No-Go Zone Comments About Parts of Tower Hamlets
- Paul Scully MP said parts of Tower Hamlets were "no-go" areas on BBC Radio London
- He later clarified that a "tiny minority" make some people "uncomfortable" about their religion and culture
- Scully said he was referring to past incidents like Muslim patrols, not the current situation
- A source close to London mayor Sadiq Khan criticized Scully for using an "Islamophobic trope"
- Scully says he apologizes if he spoke mistakenly or caused division, but feels he's being used as a "pawn"
