Police against police state!?

Porkbolter | 10.04.2005 15:08 | South Coast

"I AM a Police Officer and I can tell you straight I don’t want a police state as I have to live in it as well".


"I AM a Police Officer and I can tell you straight I don’t want a police state as I have to live in it as well".

That was the emailed message sent to The Porkbolter on March 4. It warned of some "very alarming" changes in the police being introduced by New Labour, involving police wardens and PCSOs, comparing the current situation with that in Nazi Germany, where the normal police, who refused to submit to direct Nazi Party control, found themselves in competition with new Special Police. "These Auxiliaries in the end out numbered the Real Police and took over as the new Political Army for that Party," warns our correspondent.

He adds: "The Police Service as we know it is being slowly privatized through the back door and we have to ask ourself who is going to benefit from this. Will it be the individual person who lives in the UK? Not at all, it will be a great deal worse for them. So will it be the country as a whole? Again no, it won’t. So looking at it from a logical perspective, the only group of people to gain from this enterprise is of course the Politician.

"Now by privatizing the Police the politician you might think won’t have any control over it. Well, there is a new breed of thinking in the Labour Party what I call ‘Nationalized Privatization’. This new way of control has already been going strong for some years and no one has even noticed it. The politicians privatize a company, say the Police, they then have as managing directors their own party’s politicians. They run it, they control it, and they tell it who to investigate - and for sure no politician will be standing in Court asking questions for perverting the course of Justice. If the Company is ridiculed in any way by the Public then the Party can distance itself from it, explaining that it’s a private company and they have no connection with it.

"I myself am a Police Officer and I can honestly say that the labour Party has caused the Problem with the Police. Since they have come to power they have increased every Police Officer’s paper work by ridiculous amounts. This has been deliberate and calculated in its execution, with their propaganda machine on full throttle informing the masses that they are indeed cutting our paper work. Their whole aim was quite literally to fool the public into not caring if new Labour Party Police came into being. They caused the problem, got the reaction, and then gave the masses the answer. The future for the Labour Police is still in the making and I can see a Police Service sponsored by the Labour Party and policed for the good of The Labour Party."

* Three days after we received this email, The Guardian reported (March 7) that the Government was planning to use private security firms like Securicor and Group 4 to police the new draconian house arrest control orders "in an attempt to save money".

A Labour issue

Paperwork for the police has increased by some 40% under Labour. Whose fault do you think it is then ?

Correct - Not Party Political

Nearly New Labour, Lib Dems, Tories, Bories and Smories - they'd all love a police state, which they would use to keep themselves in power ad infinitum.

This process, towards authoritarianism, began with the Tories, but it has taken the weedy, pathetic, fightened and running scared Nearly New Labour, to really kick democracy into the fascist domain.

Why? Because they are pathetic, puppets of capital - and the civil service machine that is it's runnig dog - titilated by the meagre smatrerings of power and priveldge that their masters allow them: idiot degenerates, full of bullshit and drivil, that is all to apparent to a growing number of the people.

Nearly New Labour's inspiration is the Tories, who, it must be said, are at least their own men and women, with their own ideas of economic and social determinism, many of which I disagree and were the product of a previous century.

This spent social and economic has caused unimaginable sufferring and destruction, and continues to do so around the world today. It is doomed. And will be replaced by a more advanced and equitable system of organising the planet, that promotes true justice, freedom and peace.

The question is: do we have to fight them on the streets for this? The answer lies with the criminal, morally, degenerate oppressors. But they dont know what to do anymore. They haven't a clue. And I, for one, am not going to give them, an Englishes roses whiff of an idea. They will eat themselves!



Returning to the question of a police state: get real they can't even police the Old Kent road, never mind the minds of it's citizens.

The Policing system in this country could be blown away by a group of big bad clown wolves, huffing and puffing, to blow the house down. But not the majority of the hardwoking policemen on the ground. They can deal with the authorities and senior officers who force them to do crimminal acts.

PCSO vs SA/SS

The idea that the uniformed cretins that make up the ranks of the PCSO's or Street Wardens, could be used as an elite storm trooper unit to dispose of and replace the regular police force is laughable. They are untrained, unfit, and in some cases barely capable of speaking english and determining the differance between a car parked with a valid permit and one without.

A vote for Blair is a vote for despair. You might as well wipe your ass with your ballot paper, at least that will get rid of some shit, as opposed to pushing more of it into parliament.
