Telegraph Journo Breaks Law (And No, It Isn't Boris!)
'Allo, allo allo, what have we got here then Mister Isaby, Sir. An illegally spaced numberplate, isn't it Sir? Now then Sir, if you'd just like to accompany me down to the Station...
Er..you know how newsspapers and TV bulletins blank out high-profile people's number plates so as to spare them from all manner of fraudsters and illegal activities?
Kind of the opposite of what you have done. Mmmm. Hope this bloke's got a sense of humour!
Next week: Iain Dale prints someone's credit card number and national insurance details...
Mr I is a canny lad, and I am sure any extra notoriety gained by lots of political saddoes noting his new numberplate would be appreaciated by him. I do wonder if it has helped him meet girls...
Anonymous, do you happen to think that when they block out number plates it is because they might help you trace the person? Do you not also think that the numberplate in question perhaps does that job for you? Calm down.
Research has shown that all men with personalised number plates are either impotent or suffer from the condition known as 'micropenis'. I wonder which it is in Mr Isaby's case
Love the blog. How's about getting a real buzz going and linking up with a car dealership sponsor to offer a competition for two cars - one in Tory blue and the other in Labour red!
Would be a great way to generate more traffic - on the site and on the roads!! ;-)
This happens all the time around here (in Norfolk), yet the only time I have ever seen the police take action was against herbie Hyde, then World Boxing Champion, who lived in Norwich, whose number plate HER 81E was pushed together to spell Herbie.
Someone in Fakenham (a teacher no less) has a plate which has part of the writing in silver so it cannpt be seen so as to spell out another word. The police are VERY selective when it comes to prosecutions like this.
Isaby is a top bloke the point of number plates is to identify people Jonathon is easily identified by this. Only the bureacratic mentality could moan about this.
Wow, is this what happens when you question whether Andy Coulson is a Tory or not? Iain Dale hands you over to the Feds?

"Breaks Law".
ReplyDeleteOoh Miss, X said a rude word.
Grow up.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous, Jonathan has an excellent sense of humour. And he did post it on his Facebook profile, so I have hardly breached any confidence!!

ReplyDeleteJonathan drove me home in that car from York on sunday evening. If we had been stopped by the police i would have been distinctly unimpressed!

I don't see why we can't have whatever we want on our numberplates providing they're all centrally registered and there's no duplicates.
