Re: Officer resigns over BNP badge
well, kind of - I think the point you're trying to make is that democracy only really works if the ruling party have half-decent opposition, which is why party politics is in the godawful state it's in at the moment.

Re: Officer resigns over BNP badge
the history of the bnp (and the behind the scenes activities) is good enough reason for the police force to not want any cop being associated with any organisation like it.
there is a big difference between anl and the bnp. the main force behind the bnp (and other fascist organisations) is hate. theyre obviously trying to hide their old image, and water it down, but their feelings are quite clear to me. nick griffins "body guards" are predominantly fascists, get them to lift their shirts and im sure youll find plenty skrewdriver and nazi tattoos.

Re: Officer resigns over BNP badge
i think that its wrong , the BNP are a legitimate political party (like it or not that is the case) so why can the government say you cant be amember? We the UK forces cant join either.
hopefully someone will challange the government in court over it. how can they accept them as a politiccal party, yet say people cant support them? |

Re: Officer resigns over BNP badge
I don't know. Probably something to do with generally having large families? But in fact it's something I know nothing about, except that it's a reason the chavs and scrotes don't like the 'stanis.
Coolgirl, yes opposition, but a mainstream party are never going to open their mouths about immigration etc. At the moment it appears that all the 3 main parties are exactly the same, just with different talking heads at the front.

Re: Officer resigns over BNP badge
This is just so "new labour" isnt it?Wishy washy and lacking what my dad used to call moral fibre.
Either the BNP is a legal political party which anyone should be able to join including a copper,or it should be banned.If a proper rationale for banning it cant be found then allow it and confront it by rational argument.Back door suppression of those we dont approve of like this actually encourages suppory for them I think.

What's the deal with chief constable's orders? Never heard of those before. Ithought chief constables were regional chiefs, but this sounds national.

Re: Officer resigns over BNP badge
yes there probably are. but just like the police if they show open support for a legal political party with the same status as the others then they would be in the poo poo. its wrong IMO.
