两周前被任命为保守党前座议员的中贝德福德郡议员布莱克·斯蒂芬森（Blake Stephenson）声称该镇是“一个非常危险的地方”，一些社区“住在贫民窟”。
Blake Stephenson, the MP for Mid Bedfordshire who was appointed to the Tory frontbench two weeks ago, claimed the town was “a very dangerous place” where some communities “live in ghettoes”.
他在保守党会议的一次边缘会议上发表的言论反映了极右翼活动人士的说法，其中包括恐怖分子大屠杀凶手安德斯·布雷维克，布雷维克还表示该镇有“禁区”。当地警察部队以及当地穆斯林和基督教团体否认了这些说法。
His comments, made at a fringe meeting at the Conservative party conference, mirror claims by far-right activists including from the terrorist mass murderer Anders Breivik, who have also said the town has “no-go zones”. These claims have been denied by the local police force as well as local Muslim and Christian groups.
斯蒂芬森出席伯明翰政策研究中心会议时声称自己很了解卢顿，因为他住在邻近的选区。“我对卢顿相当了解，因为我住在10到15分钟路程的地方，代表贝德福德郡中部，我住在边境对面的一个村庄。
Appearing at a Centre for Policy Studies meeting in Birmingham, Stephenson claimed to know Luton well because he lives in the neighbouring constituency. “I know Luton reasonably well because I live 10, 15 minutes away and represent Mid Bedfordshire, I live in a village just over the border.
“我认为这个小镇是以前的影子。该镇的部分地区--不幸的是，警察会告诉你--这可能是一个非常危险的地方。有些地方白人不会去。它们就像禁区。它并不孤单，全国各地还有其他城镇也有类似情况。我们必须去的地方太可怕了。
“I think the town is a shadow of its former self. There are parts of that town – and unfortunately the police will tell you this – it can be a very dangerous place. There are parts where white people won’t go. They are like no-go zones. It is not alone, there are other towns across the country in a similar situation. It is dreadful where we have got to.
“但我们可以继续前进，但它需要深层次的整合，我们需要打破这些，呃……这就是它变得令人讨厌的地方，但我们需要确保我们没有贫民窟，那里有任何人的禁区。这个国家适合我们所有人，而不仅仅是某些社区，”他说。
“But we can move on from it but it requires deep levels of integration and we need to break apart these, erm … this is where it gets icky, but we need to make sure we don’t have ghettoes where there are no-go zones for anybody. The country is for all of us not just certain communities,” he said.
“这确实让一些人感到厌恶，但我认为人们（当然是右翼人士）达成了共识，即大规模移民绝对是一场灾难。
“It does get icky for some people, but I think there is a consensus, certainly on the right, that mass migration has been an absolute disaster.
“因此，我们有责任制定计划并实施。我们已经制定了边境计划。你知道，其中一些对某些人来说可能会感觉有点恶心，但我们必须面对它，依靠它，”他说。
“So it’s up to us to put a plan together and deliver. We’ve got the borders plan. You know, some of that may feel a bit icky for some people, but we’ve got to face into it, lean into it,” he said.
2012年，布雷维克在奥斯陆法庭上发表的一份声明中要求观众关注卢顿“以及警察不敢通过的1，000多个伊斯兰禁区”。他说，这座城市生活在“战争条件”中。
In a statement delivered to court in Oslo in 2012, Breivik asked his audience to look at Luton “and the more than 1,000 Islamic no-go zones where police do not dare pass through”. The city was, he said, living in “warlike conditions”.
贝德福德郡警方当时在一份声明中表示，“贝德福德郡不存在禁区”。
Bedfordshire police said in a statement at the time that “no-go areas do not exist in Bedfordshire”.
汤米·罗宾逊（Tommy Robinson）的真名是斯蒂芬·亚克斯利-列侬（Stephen Yaxley-Lennon），他于2009年在卢顿共同创立了极右翼英国国防联盟，并声称该镇有白人的“禁区”。
Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, co-founded the far-right English Defence League in Luton in 2009, and claimed there were “no-go zones” for white people in the town.
斯蒂芬森于2024年当选议员，在吉尔福德法学大学学习法律之前，他在肯特大学攻读劳资关系与政治专业。2007年，他被授予律师资格。
Stephenson, who was elected as an MP in 2024, read industrial relations with politics at the University of Kent, before studying law at the University of Law in Guildford. He was called to the bar in 2007.
他出席了一个名为“从鲍里斯波到人才流失：我们如何解决移民问题”的边缘会议。
He was appearing at a fringe meeting entitled From Boriswave to Brain Drain: How Can We Fix Migration?
在讨论早些时候，斯蒂芬森表示，《平等法案》创建了一个“白人年轻人”受到歧视的框架，并声称政府正在为少数族裔保留实习机会。
Earlier in the discussion, Stephenson said the Equalities Act had created a framework where “white young men” were being discriminated against, and claimed the government was reserving internships for racial minorities.
“你知道，平等应该是所有人的平等。这是一个相当非常简单的概念，但实际上它已经成为一个相当复杂的结构。而失去的是白人年轻人，”他说。
“You know, equality should be equality for all. It’s a fairly, fairly simple concept, but it’s actually become quite a complicated construct. And the people that are losing out are white young men,” he said.
他声称，一些政府计划不允许年轻白人申请。“年轻的白人感到这个制度受到了操纵，对他们不利，我并不感到惊讶，特别是政府出台了不允许他们申请实习的计划。这是国家支持的种族主义，需要停止，”他说。已联系保守党请其置评。
He claimed that some government schemes did not allow young white men to apply. “I’m not surprised that young white men feel like the system is rigged against them, particularly with the government coming out with schemes that won’t allow them to apply for internships. That is state-sponsored racism and it needs to stop,” he said. The Conservative party has been approached for comment.
北卢顿工党议员莎拉·欧文表示：“任何政治家，更不用说资深保守党人兜售我们从亚克斯利·列侬和改革等人身上看到的有关卢顿的右翼废话，都是非常不负责任的。
Sarah Owen, the Labour MP for Luton North, said: “It is deeply irresponsible for any politician, let alone a senior Conservative to peddle the same rightwing nonsense about Luton that we see from the likes of Yaxley-Lennon and Reform.
“这根本是不真实的，影子内政部部长应该离开社交媒体，了解我很自豪能够代表的出色的卢顿人，并称之为我的邻居。我还呼吁卢顿新成立的自由民主党/保守党/绿党联盟理事会否认他们同事的这些评论。”
“It is simply untrue and the shadow Home Office minister should get off social media and get to know the fantastic Lutonians I’m proud to represent and call ny neighbours. I’d also call on the new Lib Dem/Tory/Green coalition-run council in Luton to disown these comments from their colleague.”
