mandelson is running the country. He was a communist. They killed millions of people in Russia, China,Eastern europe, everywhere.

- Frank, Worcestershire

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

- Rogan, Irving

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

- Don Johnson, Miami, FL

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?

- Mark, South-East London

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.

- Matthew, London, UK

Sounds like Keith Prince is being the Nazi.

- Terry, Ealing, UK

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 .....................

- Paul, London

The Labour government should hang their heads in shame and resign for bankrupting our society and country?

- Frank, Home Counties, England.

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.

- Mr Pastry, london

Something of nothing. Hundreds of people have NA51 number plates.

- Phil, Horsham, UK

loony left? since when was being on the left a bad thing?

- Colin, UK

i think mr.prince should resign aftermaking this public attack on a innocent party over a innocent regisration plate issued by the dvla. Maybe he should look up the word NAZI in the dictionary.

- Fatboyfranky, phuket thailand

one rule for one once again you will find the number plate nsdap is driven by an expoliceman wonder if he was driving it when enployed

- John, hounslow middlesex

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!

- Nigel, London

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.

- Lexie, london

This is ridiculous! The loony left will think up of anything to get rid of a BNP councilor nowadays. The license plate no connection to teh word "Nazi" and it is only the ultra left that associate this word with the BNP; not the BNP itself.

- Dirk Diggler, Soho, London

The Loony Unite Against Fascism are the real threat not the BNP

they preach revelution not love and peace as they would like one to believe, see their website, the truth is there

- Mary White, WIGAN

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?

- Abigail, UK

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.

- Rob, wales

If he was driving a black mercedes convertible with the plate "N5 DAP" they might have a point!

This is just becoming a joke!

- Tony, London

This proves that the Westminister mafia of Labour, Libdems and Tories are all colluding toghether to smear the BNP any way they can as they are terrified of the public backlash in the next General Elections.
I am not surprised and can only laugh at this pathetic attempt that's backfired bigtime !

- Joe, Swanley Kent

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.

- Oliver, Epsom Downs, UK

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.

- Brendaleyland, preston, Lancs

Pathetic.

Labour are dangerous when in the losing corner!

- Mrs, London UK

What a perverse mind Mr Prince has.
It would never have occurred to me.
I notice the car is described as black. Is that alright Mr Prince or is there some dark sinister motive behind that as well?

- Frankmcgill, England

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.

- Rogan, Irving

Is Mr Prince serious? Is Chris from Belfast serious? This has got to be the silliest attack on the BNP I've seen yet. I've got no problem with people taking politicians of any stripe to task over their views, but over their car numberplates? Really, people?

- Tom, Wimbledon

Was Mr Leppert not democratially elected?

- Ali Akbar, Bristol

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?

- Jeff, UK

This reads more as an attempt to publicise the car registration and there by enable it to be a target for the desperate loony left.

- Kedge, wilts, england

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.

- Escobar-Alop-Lop, Camden County

It's no secret that the BNP are basically Nazis anyway so it doesn't matter what they have on their number plates. We already know they are Nazi scum.

- Chris, Belfast

These people need to get a life. It was on it when he bought it for crying out loud. Just shows the length some of these desperate council leaders will go to discredit anyone not following their political agenda.
Shame on you Mr Prince.

- Robert Borthwick, Glasgow, Scotland

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.

PATHETIC!

- Andy, Slough

I do wish they would get a life,how they can get nazi out of that,just amazes me
It's not even close

- James, NW Kent

Had the plate read NA51 BNP then yes. Otherwise this really is clutching at straws.

- Jimbob, Kensington

Gosh the ANL are getting desperate.
