PVV banned on license plates in the Netherlands..
PVV is the Dutch acronym for Geert Wilders political party...
PVV, the short form of the name of the anti-Islam party Partij voor de Vrijheid, has been added to the list of banned abbreviations for new car number plates, the AD reports on Friday.This is all because they are trying to paint Wilders and his party as far-right lunatics. Actually, they are classic liberals, and are quite supportive of Israel and of gays as well.
PVV joins NSB (the Dutch World War II pro Nazi party), KKK (Ku Klux Klan) and TBS (psychiatric prison) on a short list of banned words, the AD says.
PVV does not appear on the list on the vehicle licensing authority website.
The authority says the new Dutch number plate system, two numbers followed by three letters and one number, has opened up the way for 'socially unacceptable' words.
According to the paper, the authority has banned PVV because it could be insulting or encourage violence.
PVV leader Geert Wilders has asked the transport minister for an explanation.

Much to do about nothing. The title would better have been: PVV banned from license plates, just like the abbreviations of all other political parties.
The fact that Geert Wilders demands an explanation just shows he doesn't know what he's talking about.
