The TPU UK Clubhouse

[pantherx12]

community support officer

I have clashes with these folk quite a lot, mostly I just ignore them they have no special powers or anything like that ( not real police) I tell them to go fetch real police if they want to move me on/arrest me.

Then the real police come and I talk to them politely and explain the situation and everything's hunky dory!

Don't like bullys!

In my opinion an epic fail on the behalf of the people voting for them.

6.5% of the vote is quite high, clearly some people thought they were the best party

Yeah the Nazi's got quite a lot of support too.

Marnie Richards at 09:32 on 08 June completely irrelevant point, the bnp are nothing like the nazis. and the nazis got support because before they were in power they had a good manifesto. hitler cut down unemployment and boosted the economy, as well as giving the people nation pride. THEN he made his mistakes

The democratic process prevailed. The bnp were elected within Euro electoral guidelines because they got a percentage of the vote(proportionally representation). That's democracy.

I think they're precisely like Nazi's having come across a few BNP voters/members in my town.

The people voting for them are liable for have extreme right wing views.

Everyone of them I've met has been a racist fuck wit.

the whole idea of britian is wrong its got to many subcultures even look at the noth and south of england seems differnt to me

and scotland isn the same anyway we in glasgow feel different to those in edinburgh and even then its like in glasgow the east is different to the posh west end

so i dont get this BNP idea of trying to secure a british identity and culture like foriegners are stealing our BRITISHNESS

even if they arnt racist because lets face it they discriminate any steryotype and group or ethnicity, so even if they arnt they are still incompitent and want to shut the UK from the world

i dont mind globalisation we are all humans and can share each others culture maybe you dont like the local culture so you lean towards others its all the same to me


UKIP got a lot of votes too and that also sucks


BNP say they dont mind people living already in britian legally but that is because they cant physically evict them

 

[human_error]

With the issue of the BNP vote i know some ppl who did vote BNP who are not at all racist (i didn't vote BNP btw, so no-one accuse me of being racist without reading what i do have to say first to see i'm only saying why people voted BNP).

To be fair a lot of people are complaining about them getting MEPs however that is democracy at work. Enough people agree with some of the points the BNP make - things such as it not being possible for Caucasian non-Brits to repatriotise because they are caucasian - non-caucasions are allowed to however. Groups such as the black police officer's association are not seen as racist (fair enough, no complaints from me), however it is illegal to make a white police officer's association "as that would be racist". It's inequalities in the rules which make it illegal/racist to be pro white (read: NOT racist, but representing white people's views) but it's not illegal/racist to be pro other races which really hits a note with a lot of people - not because they want to be pro white only or be racist/facist, but the fact they couldn't if they wanted to create a pro white group makes them rebel/unhappy with the system - they want the same right as other groups to make pro groups for their race as minority groups are allowed to.

I do agree some BNP members are racist and are lazy b*stards who blame immigration on why they couldn't get a job when they'd never be employed no matter what (i hate people like that) however a significant number of people voting are voting for equal treatment for all people, not just minority groups having an advantage (read: stopping minorities being allowed to get away with things caucasian groups would not be allowed to do by letting all people do it or none).

The democratic system calls for all people to be given a proportional representation in any governing bodies, and the fact the BNP has gotten 2 seats at europe means that the people who support some or all of their points are being represented, whether that aligns with your views or not doesn't mean they shouldn't have their representation - i hate socialism/communism but i don't say "well they shouldn't be represented at all" - they should get represented proportionally as should everyone else.


**edit**
I don't care who wins at the moment - anything to get the unelected (to be PM) Gordon Brown and his unelected cronies (not MPs) out of the cabinet and government as they've done enough damage over the years.

TOTALLY get where you're coming from there. When you get ones that think they rule the world because they're wearing the yellow jackets .... lame.

However, in the town I work in, they're actually really nice people. I'd had dealings with them (Not on the receiving end of a warning etc. I have to talk to them a lot in my job) a lot and they're great people.

+1 on that - i've seen 2 types of them (again never getting warnings/asked to move on or anything, i just see them in action quite a bit when i'm doing any pc maintenance on some of the businesses near me in a rough area).

They are either there on a power trip and joined to have power over people - there aren't too many of these tbh, which is good. The other group are people who just want to make the area nicer to live in and are definately not on a power trip - these are really nice people even though they still get quite a bit of abuse/disrespect.

To be honest i don't see the point in them - if they are getting 1/2 the training and equipment of the police after all their training stuff then idon't see why the govt. don't go the extra 1/2 and have a far more effective full blown police officer.

 

[crazy pyro]

The more effective full blown police officer costs more cash.

I guess. The annoying thing is that if the govt stopped p*ssing money away on pointless projects and rebuilding every school from here to eternity filling the hallways with 30" lcd screens then we could probably afford more police and hospitals.

 

[crazy pyro]

Waaaaait a sec, it's not just my school that did that?
I mean with the ridiculously big LCD screens, they just put announcements and the school lunch menu up on ours, they cost something like 20k for the lot of them, PLENTY could have been done with that like upgrading the computer network so that it was usable...

 

[MilkyWay]

nope its a sad day when people agree with the BNP, they discriminate and hate sure not just blacks but everyone

whats so stupid is that they want the european parliament abolished yet they have to work in it

if they where so amazing they would have a bigger vote but in reality they dont

people will believe anything just like they did with Hitler, oh the scapegoats and promises that fail

oh so when did conservatives ever do anything for britian they didnt create the welfare state they didnt create the NHS they did nothing
sure current labour needs a kick up the backside and a reformation but its ideas and policies are fair and COULD work not that they do

ive actually saw loads more police recently in my area probly a Scottish nationalist thing but either way thats a lie that we dont see improvements, plus a lot of the schools they are rebuilding needed fixed like the old primary school i went to looked Victorian that needed rebuilt badly
its up to the school to spend funding on tvs not the government

community officers are far better than nothing be grateful

 

[Gzero]

How many officers does it take to move on 2 drunk men that are passive?

 

[Ketxxx]

i lol at you moonpag haha

Who..... is tht chick in ur av? Do you have her phone number for me?

 

[alexp999]

You may have noticed I havent been all that active here, thats because along with the help of MoonPig and kyle2020, I have started up my own small forum.

The main description is that it is a Relaxed place to talk about all things gaming and computers. Think of it a bit like mixing GN, TPU and GPU up into one. Now the main focus is more around the users, than hardware, so I'm not expecting it to get filled with your hardware and software problems, thats what TPU is for.

If you want somewhere a little more laid back to chat, talk to friends, post pics of your games/setups/cribs/mods/projects etc, or maybe get a bit over excited about something you want to buy or have bought, this is the place.

Its called the Elite Lounge, or elounge for short, it has been running about two weeks now while we work out all the sections, permissions and rules etc, and now we feel it is ready to start taking in members.

This is initially a pilot, to ease things in, and only 20 members from the Asus P45 Club and the UK Clubhouse will be permitted entry. This cap will be lifted within a week, possibly sooner depending on how things go.

For the pilot to work, all registrations must be approved by me, therefore once you have registered, PM me here on TPU with your elounge username and I will activate your account.

Well enough chat, here is the link!

That makes sense lol! I heard it from my 90 year old grandmother who's English to the bone!

So your what, 1/4 british?

 

[MilkyWay]

lol at the usa and there percentage and fraction of being from another nation

i am 2/10ths irish and a whole quarter nigerian lol just seems strange to me, i suppose its becasue the american history is only really 200-300 years old so a hark back to old times is probly what they are trying to do or trying to hark back to ancestors who immigrated

anyway a stupid thing completely random but totally british, why is it 2 buses the same number come at one time and then you have to wait ages on a bus after that?

Morrisons 66p bag of toffees excellent!

 

[crazy pyro]

Tesco's 87p bag of sherbert lemons even more excellent.
The buses thing is just traffic.

 

[MilkyWay]

nah its not traffic it allways seems to happen even if its empty streets lol

ill put it down to timing lol

AH SHERBERT, i like my bon bons of the lemon and strawberry variety

 

[crazy pyro]

Hmmm, yeah I remember that happening when I used to catch the bus to school.
Sherbert lemons are excellent for morale boosts, I ended up living on them for a weekend while running round Caterrick like a right nutter.

 

[Gzero]

The buses come in 2's because those drivers were car pooling
