A police force which spent £34,300 on electric tuk-tuks to help fight crime sold them after just two years – at a £28,350 loss.
Cunts.
Ch Insp Damian Sowrey said parents told officers “they would feel safer knowing that there was support for young people out at night, and from women who could think of an occasion when the tuk-tuk would have been a welcome sight”…
I’m not sure how many young ladies are happy to see a tuk-tuk hoving into view..
Gwent Police spokesperson said: “The intention behind the purchase of these vehicles was to boost public safety especially within the night-time economy settings of Abergavenny and Newport in an engaging and different way for our communities.”
Sounds like more of the same “cultural enrichment ” to me..
Perhaps the tuk-tuks are now in Bradford carrying “grooming” cunts about their what should be immediately lethal hobbies..
Or carrying the tattered remnants of the latest Ayetollah to his burial pit?
Who knows?
Who cares?
It’s only a drop in the bucket of Gravy Train Britain.

Theres a reason Evel kneivel didnt try and jump london buses in a reliant robin.
Same reason James Bond doesnt drive a powder blue invacar.
Tuktuks my arse.

There’s no James Bond film that wouldn’t have been improved by replacing the Aston or Lotus by an Invacar!
The next Bond’ll probably be a bud-bud ding-ding.

Roger Moore used a tuktuk in Octopussy, upset a few bud buds and then had a go on Maud Adams so they’re not all bad.

It used a Honda ATC 250 R engine, giving it between 30 & 38 BHP, far more that standard, but still just as easy to turn over with a hefty push.

Gupta: Hello please. Why are we using deez auto-reekshaws to be catching de criminals? We are looking stupid.
Sandeep: Eet eez part of a woke programme, ji.
Gupta: How are we supposed to catch Albanian drug-dealers ven ve cannot go faster dan a meelk float?
{Radio} : There’s a 2-9 in progress..Urgent, a 2-9! Somebody’s just called Prophet Mohammit a paēē-doh.
Sandeep: Step on it! Jaldi!

I suppose that walking the beat would be too much effort for the fatties.
At least with a tuk-tuk they stand some chance of chasing a criminal.
As long as the criminal doesn’t run too quickly or escape using a flight of stairs.
Or run down a narrow alleyway.
Of course the first choice for the police would have been mobility scooters.
Most of them look like they need one.
Their answer to modern policing in an ever more dangerous environment just had to be a far eastern utility vehicle that an electric scooter can easily out manoeuvre.
Silly fucking cunts.

I was expecting an April Fool, but its not a very good one.

The Keystone Cops are in charge 🤦♂️

More of a tut-tut from me.

Reminds me of a friend in the 60s who passed his driving test in a milk float.

I can only conclude that Newport police watched Goldie Lookin’ Chain’s “Guns Don’t Kill People…” video as a training film.

Surely no-one is surprised by the figures? Depreciation on EVs is catastrophic so one that’s short of a wheel and flat out at 34mph is bound to be even worse. Doesn’t matter though, it’s only £28,350 and there’s plenty more where that came from.

I bet the coppers assigned to driving these contraptions felt like right cunts. imagine the ribald abuse from a bunch of coked up piss heads when pc Owen splutters into view blue lights a flashing. Hey it’s not my money, but in a way it is.
7
It sends completely the wrong message.
I was plod id want a vehicle that says
“we are the forces of Law and order.
We are not here to negotiate.
Behave,.. Or else.”
Something like that tank thing from that Batman film,
One of those halftrack things ze germans had in WW2.
Not rocking up on something looks like it delivers fruit in southeast Asia.

Indeed, a Famo would be ideal for squashing the subhuman scum.

Judge Dredd style Law Master. Big as fuck motorbike sporting twin autocannons, sufficient to turn most miscreants into dogfood.

They could have used these Tuk Tuks on Clapham high street yesterday, what looked a hundred or so junior pavement apes (and a few feral whites) being absolute cunts.
Bring back the birch.
As for the Tuk Tuk nonsense, same ideology that has the cunts wearing rainbow shite and taking the knee.
8
Birch? Feral animals get put down. Just saying. Oh what a wonderful world it would be if only!

Absolutely right, I wasn’t thinking straight 👍
And the parents
5
A Tuk Tuk with a fucking Gatling gun mounted on the roof (is that even possible?) and just gun the feral pavement apes down.
2
The fucking night time economy is an excuse to waste taxpayer’s money supporting the bad behaviour of feckless piss heads. A few years back our fatsos spent our money on fucking flip-flops so that they could hand them out to bladdered slappers who needed to take their shoes off for the stagger home. What absolute fucking wankerism.
Good morning, everyone.

Anyone remember or owned those Reliant TW9s?
Like a tuktuk.
Used to be a place in stockport that sold them.
Few weeks ago I saw a Reliant Robin,
Bright cherry red on the Silk Road in Macclesfield,
The bloke driving it had a massive grin on his face.
Cheered me up.

News just in…
The people of Newport were in shock this morning after a Tuk Tuk ploughed into revellers at a popular night spot last night.
There are reports that the Tuk Tuk could be beyond repair.
The vehicle was thought to have been originally from India, but had lived in Wales for a number of years.
Police have been told to say they do not believe the incident is terror related.
Chief inspector Ahmabad Gryfford Jones Davies also warned the public about speculating online about the incident, particularly eyewitness reports that the driver was popping wheelies and humming the Bond theme.
8
These tuk-tuks do sort of encapsulate attitudes towards modern pigs.
Both the general public and criminals alike regard them with contempt, they carry and convey no authority whatsoever, you can just ridicule them and (as long as you’re careful) there’s jack shit they can do about it.
Five armed officers available to arrest Graham Linehan for laughing at tran§bumdery and no officers available to investigate how pakı rape gangs have operated with impugnity for decades.
14
Your so right TCE the whole system is a massive cluster fuck. Though did read something about police persons involved in cover up of rape gangs being summoned to explain why they did fuck all, bit of a gamble mind for those tasked with this maybe maybe not enquiry as by the time it begins most of the cunts will likely be dead the fate of the physical evidence lost in the shredder hard drive in landfill. Looks like a hiding to fuck all, more likely to see mangelbum in the Scrubs methinks

In other news,
Robots delivery fastfood slop for company Deliveroo have been attacked and vandalised in the lovely Meersbrook part of Sheffield.
Good.
Ive seen these little bastards upto no good trundling down the road.
And the first thing i thought was id like to criminally damage one.
Sinister fuckers.
Well done Sheffield!
Overthrow your robot overlords✊

Next best thing to shoving a dinghy rat off his bike while he is working illegally for Deliveroo during school hours.

Oh Mis, you haven’t lived! They’ve been buzzing round Milton Keynes for years. Our younger uses them regularly. The only EV out there which is useful. A great plus point for them as well is that they put the feral scum on the mopeds out of work.

Saw one bold as brass in Altrincham Arfur.

Within a year theyll get workers rights.

The “chain of command” that dreamt this up and made it a reality should be fited at once,sans pension.
They are most certainly not the type of police this country requires.
Good morning.

New TV series
Police interceptors: Pursuit and Capture
Watch the brave boyos in blue in a high speed chase of 88-year-old granny Blodwyn Jones as she joyrides recklessly through Newport on her mobility scooter.
Suspected of taking a tin of laverbread from the Coop without paying, Jones is apprehended by 6 armed officers riding in 3 tuk-tuks. At a top speed of 34mph their powerful vehicles can exceed the 20mph speed limit when in pursuit of a suspected felon. And at an average weight of 19 stones, running after Jones would have been too much of a health risk.
Yaki dah.

What happened to Plod pounding the beat instead of their meat back at the station. Useless cunts.

The Lib Dems are probably behind the Tuk-Tuk fiasco. It iwill be part of their safer communities type drivel, dreamed up over a half of cider and a packet of Bombay Mix (shared between seven, obviously).

I assumed it was one of Psycho Ed’s energy saving ideas, along with drinking warm beer and cold tea.
Speaking of which, it’s a pink moon tonight so the certifiable wing nut will be out all night frothing at the mouth and howling at the sky. It’s hard not to feel some sympathy for his fellow residents of Kentish Town.

Did you see that smirking cunt Starmer today, * we won’t be dragged into Trump’s war*.
Aye, to many fucking rapists votes to be lost..!
