Police insignia at anti-BNP march

[flamesong]

This is a bit of an unfortunate pose in which to catch a police officer at an anti-BNP march (in Blackpool today) - but can anybody explain this very Nazi-like insignia (see inset) on his uniform?

[John White]

Exraordinary. I've had a trawl about but didnt turn up anything. Perhaps telecasterisation might know? I've certainly not seen the like

[flamesong]

About a quarter of the police present were wearing this black uniform with red insignia and number epaulettes. I'll check through my photos and see if I can find any other samples.

[Hazzard]

Check for reactionary forces, armed policeman that sorta thing.

[flamesong]

Incidentally, there doesn't seem to be any way of convincing demonstrators that the real threat of fascism is not, in reality, the BNP - and that whilst they are fighting a gang of racist thugs at the door, the real fascism is seeping through the floorboards.

And curiously, there was some general agreement that false flag terrorism has occurred in Northern Ireland and possibly in Russia, as has been revealed in the death and revelations of Alexander Litvinenko, but mention of 9/11 was met with expressions of incredulity.

Why not send them the picture and ask the question?

Incidentally, this looks like another form of militarisation of the police. There is absolutely no other explanation for a constable in uniform to have these type of markings, other than to adopt a military unit type psyche.

Oh and it used to be the case if a uniformed constable was improperly dressed any arrest they made, or instructions they gave, were invalid, hence why they introduced flat caps for those in cars. (No idea if that is still the case though)

[Hazzard]

Yeah the wound is still seeping. One day when its too late people will realise. By then the excuse will be "Its the powers that be, what can you do?" *shrug*

Galloway has been at it for months. I can't bear to listen to him anymore. Last time I heard him he said that he couldn't believe that it was an inside job because:

a) they couldn't get away with it (!) - that tennis ball is still bouncing around inside my head!

b) he had seen the film United 93 - and as we all know, once Hollywood has cast its spell on something that makes it true!

[uselesseater]

Apparently, an 'S' shaped like a lightening bolt like on SS uniforms represents 'Satanic Terror'.

Ill ask at Yahoo questions, someones bound to know.

wepmob their british 'values' are a smoke screen to decieve people into bringing them into power. They will whore themselves to any policy except equality in order to trick people into voting for them. Even if its playing on peoples desperations and fears.

They are nazi thugs it really is that simple.

And our British values are?? slavery, imperialism. Racism is just another agenda for the powers that be to split and divide us all why would you want to be in a party that advocates that. Maybe Spiv they need to be taken apart as of now where have they got us?

[utopiated]

I just sent out a crawl bot thingy to the main UK insignia site at www.kellybadge.co.uk and looked through a few hundred cop/military badges.

No joy. Must be pretty new.

Either way it's a weird/ominous development.

[spiv]

wepmob2000 states "I've investigated the BNP website in the past, and must admit quite a few of their policies do make a hell of a lot of sense. And yes I agree with your views on British values and traditions and so on. However the problem I have with the BNP is why you cannot join if you're not white".

A good point wepmob2000. My son is a white police officer, and he cannot join the Association of Black Police Officers, nor qualify for the Asian Police Officer of the Year award. "Racism" only seems to be one way, doesn't it?.

Eligibility for joining the BNP is "Membership of the British National Party is open to those of British or kindred European ethnic descent. While we welcome contact and co-operation with nationalists and patriots of other races, and with the many non-whites who also oppose enforced multi-racialism, we ask them to respect our right to an organisation of our own, for our own, as we respect and applaud their measures to organise themselves in like fashion" and what is so wrong with that?

Contrary to the popular media and our lying politicians, most of us are ordinary people, many of them in business and professions like myself, going about our ordinary lives, and not "Nazi Scum" as Hazzard likes to view people such as myself.

Anyhow, enough said by me on this subject, this is a 9/11 truth movement site, and I hope that you are all e-mailing the British and American politicians with your demands for a thorough independent and impartial inquiry into 9/11, and that I am not the only one demanding this of the politicians. If not, then start at

Priceless!

[telecasterisation]

My own spin on the insignia question;

Every force has its own core uniform. From this radiates the various 'specialist' and 'non-regular' departments. For example, 'specials' and assistant branch staff like community officers will wear basically the same uniform with a few extra bells and whistles, whilst dog handlers often opt for their thicker trousers as they tend to get dragged through bushes and muck chasing their animal who in turn is chasing a suspect.

I would guess, and it is only purely only that, by the actual insignia itself it would tend to illustrate a 'rapid response' branch, such as an extension of the Met's Special Patrol Group. In other words, lightning = quick, sitting around the corner in a van waiting for it to kick off.

What is surprising is the lack of obvious number on the officer's shoulder, although it may be the angle and position the photo has been taken from.

wepmob2000...I think a racist like yourself would be most welcome on the site....

9/11........good day for Israel and the fancy dress dancers.

[wepmob2000]

[flamesong]

Yes, they did have numbers on their shoulders. Some differently attired officers had orange numbered epaulettes.

Personally, I am not convinced that merely identifying who or what this insignia represents is the big issue. 'Rapid response' it may well be - it is still indicative, as has been stated already, of a militariasation of the police.

Incidentally, I thought the SPG had been disbanded in the 80's.

I'm afraid, Mr Blackbear, that you are well out of order on this thread. People having views and opinions is always deemed by people such as yourself as "racist" or uttered by "Nazi thugs". If you actually take a step back, you will see that the "thought thugs" are the reactionaries such as yourself.

We need sensible reasoned discussion in the UK, as there is a political fuse which is burning behind closed doors of the indigenous population of Britain, and I rather suspect that the lying politicians of the 'Nu Labour' Government will feel the explosion one day soon. I rather expect, following recent developments in Holland, that the Dutch are ahead of this country, but I foresee the political backlash happening in the UK over the next few short years.

You should apologise publicly to wepmob2000.
