boyfriday Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 i been reading on the site and found nothing about white police officers being able to join i have asked the pleasant members of the forum to see if they can find any links which states what ive been asking and guess what i got no links off them either and if you could read you would have read that in my earlier posts :hihi:so unless you can help me out dont argue about something you got no proof about ricgem, you must have influence, since yesterday the homepage of the BPA has been edited and now explicity confirms that they do allow members irregardless of their colour The NBPA is open to all in policing on application and there is no bar to membership based on colour http://www.nationalbpa.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew of him after he joined the police Michael, he was in accident investigation then joined the motorbike folks, I thought he had a role at the BPA but didnt realise he was president.

Thanks Michael. Ps: I didn't know he was an Inspector now either PPS: having read that link, he appears to have become quite radical in his views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricgem2002 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 ricgem, you must have influence, since yesterday the homepage of the BPA has been edited and now explicity confirms that they do allow members irregardless of their colour The NBPA is open to all in policing on application and there is no bar to membership based on colour http://www.nationalbpa.com/ remember its not what you know but who you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Bloody hell! Thanks Michael. Ps: I didn't know he was an Inspector now either PPS: having read that link, he appears to have become quite radical in his views I know a couple of people that did some anti-racist training for the Met Police about 10 years ago. they told me they were frankly shocked by the language and prejudice they routinely displayed. In that context I think his views to be well considered, not radical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bru-sheff Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 The original post was about a comparison between the BPA and the BNP. Ever since the original post this thread has been about the BNP. Thats because Wildcat and the nerd herd turn every possible thread into a BNP thread.

Wildcat Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thats because Wildcat and the nerd herd turn every possible thread into a BNP thread. original post: Question. What is the differance with the 'Black Police Association' not letting a non black officer join their club and the BNP not allowing non whites to join their club? Are both guilty of discrimination? or do the Black Police Association have a token right to discriminate on the grounds of some inverted political correctness. Don't let the facts get in the way of making yourself look like a spiteful fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonofAna Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Thats because Wildcat and the nerd herd turn every possible thread into a BNP thread. This is incorrect. It should read "...turn every possible thread into a HATE the BNP thread" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
