Oh dear seems the German Police are over reacting

Sure. Keep telling yourself that, princess.

Oh NAT you know the under the terms of the restraining order you aren't allowed to call me Princess, Cuddle Cubby or Cupcake. How often do I have to tell you?

in most European countries you are required to carry an ID card and the police can stop you at anytime and ask to see it

Taking one to a police station within a reasonable period should avoid any penalty, as with a driving licence, but in general ID cards are a pretty good idea. I have no idea why there is so much opposition in the UK.

Off topic but CUK doesn't seem to work well in IE11. View post does nothing, and edit post does not show previous comment.

sorry do point to where the Met have tweeted "stopped & searched hundreds of Darkies today"

"Darkies" or what ever racists like you call non-white people in the UK are not mainly from North Africa.

Depending on the minority population a particular police force e.g. the Met, Merseyside police serves is what they stop and search.

Nafri as in the tweet reported is considered polite address? Darkies was the closest I could think of without being too offensive.



Can't imagine that statement appearing on the BBC website or even issued by the Met.

We refused the ID card mainly because of the previous abuses in other countries. Maybe we can issue the undesirables with Bright Badges so we know who they are? Of course IBM etc. will do a better job nowadays.

Not sure its a laughing matter. Last New year I was alarmed by the incidents you all tried to brush under the carpet, it seems the reaction this year by the Police is just as scary.

Considering quite a few rural folk in the UK welcomed foreigners during WWII and beyond you are completely offensive.

I suggest you get your globe out plus use Wikipedia to look at what countries where former British colonies and their links to the UK today.

The history of former British colonies and how they gained independence is different to former French, Belgium, etc colonies. This still governs the relationship between different countries today and explains why different European countries can and can't interfere with another country even if there is a civil war like Syria.

In regards to ID cards in the UK - the people who are really strongly against ID cards are people who think the state services us, the people, not the other way round, and are on the left and right of the political spectrum. I only found this out when I contacted people when a certain Blair was trying to sneak them in via the back door.

Rich, coming from one whose worldview is informed by the Daily Mail and who displays his deep ignorance and narrow-mindedness on oh-so-many subjects on a daily basis.

ID cards were adopted across Europe after the first world war began, to be able to identify foreigners more easily. Britain never felt the need. A significant reason that the pilot for ID cards in Britain failed was that it was linked to a central government database. In many countries, ID cards are handled locally, or at county level.

Says the person who can't find another word for persons of North African origin other than a deeply offensive racist term...Presumably a convert to alt-right is in the works here...
