Gay Hating Drivers Deliberately Run Into Faggots And Dykes
CAMPAIGNERS for the Protection Of English (POE) are at war with gay campaigners in light of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s decision to remove from sale the number plates F4 GOT and D1 KES.
The agency says the plates bear resemblance to the terms faggot and dykes, on grounds of “the clear potential offence“.
Hard luck for meatball lovers and fans of damns [sic] – your hobby has been undone by the creeping Americanisation of the English language.
Says a spokesman for the DVLA said:
“DVLA has responsibility to ensure that the combinations used on registration marks do not cause general upset or offence. Having reviewed the appropriateness of the registration marks F4 GOT and D1 KES, we have withdrawn these marks from sale on the grounds of the clear potential offence they may cause.”
What it is is prejudice, further marginalising they who enjoy traditional British meat treats and water preservation technology enthusiasts.
A spokesman for Stonewall, which represents all “sissies” and “lezzies” with a “wide stance” counters:
“We welcome the action by the DVLA in ensuring that these potentially offensive items were withdrawn from sale. This kind of proactive action by the public authorities helps make Britain a more equal place.”
For some…

There are many countries that do not filter registration numbers. In Latvia we have various plates such as BANDIT …. 4UTOO ….. even the full swear words. Seems they don’t have a problem with it. I’ve always wondered what would happen if that Riga Sports car with the real swear words plate travelled over to a less liberal state ? Would they impound the car for obscene language ?

Yep, according to the gay members of UK gay social networking website OUTeverywhere, Stonewall have definitely lost the plot on this one. I run the website and my own motorbike is licensed “R1 FAG”. Some people are out, Stonewall. Get over it!

I’m still impressed by the guy who caught the application for X351 ARO. (Think about how it’d look in your mirror…)

States over here have a rule on what you can or can’t request for your ‘vanity’ license plate. This one was banned in CO as it was considered to have sexual meaning: ILVTOFU. The woman liked Tofu and requested this to be her license plate. Turned down as State ruled FU had sexual meanings.

I agree that they are far more likely to be snapped up by someone who is proud of their status, but I find the unfashionably be-coated one’s description of Stonewall to be homophobic.

It is important to celebrate the wonderful and colourful English language, however you, yourself need to get your English right: its hard luck for the lovers of dams NOT damns

“Hard luck for meatball lovers and fans of damns – your hobby has been undone by the creeping Americanisation of the English language.”
Which is worse, creeping Americanisation or just plain old murder of the English language?
I think you means “fans of dams”.
D’oh!

Isn’t it more likely that the plates would be bought somebody by somebody who actually is gay? Some people like to shout it from the rooftops, and anyway it’s a pretty lame (and expensive) way to go about stating your dislike of gays.

Ohfergawdsake.
Pound to a penny that both number plates would have been snapped up by a gay man and a lesbian couple respectively.
I myself would have bid on D1 KES.
Sense of humour, people. Sense of humour!!
