Good grief, is this nonsense still going on? All it's doing is giving free air time to the BNP, you idiots!

It's council leader Keith Prince that should "hang his head in shame" with this petty and stupid claim.

Its a simple coincidence and it doesn't even come close to spelling'nazi'. What a nerve Keith Prince has to use such pathetic smears such as this.

I'm not sure which letters don't get used in car registrations if we exclude the obvious ones that would still mean that NA51 could, in theory, exist on around 12,000 cars. Does that mean all their drivers would be Nazis?

What about owners of a Triumph Accaim. Are they Nazis as well as Triumph Accliam can be translated into German as Sieg Heil?

Basically, this man Leppert has revealed himself (and his party) in his true colours. The BNP claims to be nationalists, not neo-Nazis - but this car number plate proves what they are really all about! A neo-Nazi in a suit and tie is still a neo-Nazi. You know that people say that all politicians lie? Well, newsflash: the BNP are politicians too! And they also lie.

Anorak moment. He couldn't choose "NA21" instead because the current number plate series goes '01' and '51' .. he would only be able to chose a '21' from 2021 (I think).

OK, so I should get out more .....................

I find the B.N.P's policies abhorrent.

HOWEVER the councillor has been legally elected, as have the other M.E.P's .

The number plate does not resemble NAZI in any way and is indeed a common number plate.

I think that the loony left/labour government have shot themselves in the foot with this one.

I think the powers that be are terrified of the gains the B.N.P are expected to make in the next round of elections , and will do anything to stop them getting into power.

IF A PARTY IS ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE THEY ARE MADATED TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE -PERIOD.

I also find the labour party abhorrent as well as most mainstream hippocritical parties(just for the record).

This story has deeper implications for democracy than first appears.

I reccommend that you read the book/watch the film V FOR VENDETTA .

THEN TRY TELLING ME IM PARANOID.

I detest the BNP but even so ... was this a "vanity" plate or just the plate that the car came with? Unless it's the former, the owner of the car is quite blameless. And seriously, if someone can't distinguish a 5 and a Z, he's not legal on the road and needs some glasses!

well it just shows you that the facts can and obviously do get twisted and mis-construed when it comes to the BNP. People right across the political spectrum will quite innocently and happily have this plate on their vehicles,but as he happens to be a BNP councillor,somehow it's magically turned into an offensive one. Shot yourself in the foot methinks Mr Prince.

Ok this is a bit pathetic. If they want to challenge the BNP then do so based on their policies. To imply that the man has a 'Nazi' number plate just because of the random order of numbers and letters on his vehicle registration plate is stupid. I bet there are thousands of people in Britain who happen to have that combination as the first four digits of their number plates! Are they all Nazis as well?

Get these Nazi supporters anyway you can i say,just think
our forefathers were killed by nazis ,they died fighting for our freedom,and the freedom of the world,to think that men and women today who call themselves British can stand behind such a discraceful organisation is shameful
they should join a decent organisation,for example,one that helps starving children in Africa,or maybe one that helps our children to grow up in a world where they learn to love their fellow man,Be Nice People,now thats a good number plate.

Mr Prince sounds like a complete moron.

Accusing the BNP of being 'Nazi' is ridiculous in itself. But accusing Mr Leppart of being Nazi because of the random number plate he got on his car??? Pathetic.

I am not a lover of the BNP or their policies. but they don't deserve to be castigated in this way because of a number plate - whether by design or coincidence. it is one of the hard won freedoms of this country that individuals can express themselves how they wish. This applies to Muslem xtremist and BNP. Free speech and other freedoms come at a price and the price is that you will see and here extremes that are unsavoury. If we try to drive them out by any means other than rational reasoned arguement, then we our selves slip toward those same extreme standards. Also, these sad people will feel boosted by this sort of negative publicity, so we should stop looking for things that we should rise above.

I have no time for the BNP, but this is ridiculous. If anything it makes a mockery of REAL issues against that party. It certainly makes it seem that Council leader Keith Prince is somewhat weak on ideas if he has to resort to this silliness.

Was Mr Leppert not democratially elected?

From the DVLA:

The "NA" means that the car was originally sold in the Newcastle area.

The "51" means that the car was produced / new in 2001.

Mr Leppert's car fits this bill since its second hand.

A very obvious smear attempt. - A councillor goes running to the press about an 'offensive' number plate which thousands of people will have, and then the leader calls for him to resign the next day.

Surely if he intentionally wanted it to read 'nazi', he'd have used "NA21" instead?

While I agree it's a a lot of fuss over nothing (if that's all they can attack him on they have nothing and so are failing their constituents) a note to Andy, Slough, you can buy number plates now, even in the current format.

If you want to buy, for example, NA51 BAD, the DVLA will sell it to you for the princely sum of £1275.

Council leader Keith Prince should be the person "hanging his head in shame".

1)NA51 could only remind somebody of the word NAZI if they have a perverted imagination.
2)NA51 is not a personalised number plate, it was issued as standard by the DVLA. There are thousands of cars with this number plate.
3)Haven't these people anything better to do apart from contriving fake indignation over a non issue.
