...for an "offensive" numberplate. Some people really need to get a fucking sense of proportion.

Probably just top gear organising faux-outrage in an attempt to get more news coverage.

Them wags, eh?

Funny tho :).

The Geneva Convention clearly states in article 69 paragraph 1337 that; 'The victor of a war, (Which they did not start) can ridicule and joke about the war in years to come'

Trouble is, it was never part of Argentina. It was actually first landed on by an Englishman, then the French, then the Spanish, eventually being owned/populated/whatever by English, then again by Spain and finally English again. Agentina tried to lay claim in 18something but got told to fuck off, and have been told to fuck off ever since. Useless pisspot little country should stick to producing corned beef and reneging on debt.

I know, I was joking, but my point is, they shouldn't cower because the Argies are upset, they should make further jokes about it.

Clarkson is a first-class dick, but he did swear on his kids' lives that it was a coincidence so I think I'm inclined to believe him, this time.

Stunt that backfired.

Even if it was a stunt that backfired, getting pissed of about H982FLK is pretty pathetic, and the other whackjob stuff about the other number plates being nearly (but actually not) the numbers of war dead is batshit.

Pathetic but understandable in a country where the government is stoking anti-british and falklands sentiment in its population.

Humans aren't anything if they're not easily led arseholes and clarkson would never have pulled the numberplate thing and the joke wouldn't work if there wasn't there wasn't the possibility of this happening...

Yeah this isn't an oopsie, but i'd say if someone came to the UK with a queen sucks cock(obviously referring to mercury) t-shirt on they wouldn't even get through security, for their security.

Except, they would. And no-one would throw stones at them.

Yeah you keep telling yourself that.

People in the UK have been wearing t-shirts slagging off the Royal Family since the 70s. Frankly you'd be in a lot more trouble if you rocked up with a t-shirt with a picture of Mohammed on it. There are actual laws about that.

Anyway if someone turned up with a car with the number plate tenuously about a war of aggression started by us that we'd lost badly, we'd either not notice or not give a fuck. Seriously, at worst, if someone was trolling about 7/7 in some obscure way people might tut disapprovingly, but that's about it. I'm sure the Daily Mail would run an editorial, and pompous people might go on TV and complain, but no-one would form a lynch mob.

F*ck the example, point stands and if you think your country is somehow "above that" then you're delusional.

Nope. Not really. We've had moslem preachers ranting and raving about the evils of Britain while claiming dole off the British state for decades, and no-one's set fire to them once.

The point of what happened in Argentina is that the fucking Governor of Patagonia is the one who banned them from Ushuaia and basically orchestrated the whole thing.
