driven by an Asian youth: You have your Queen but we have your country. Is that legal, or is there no racial remark it, was about a year ago.

I am not a racist but i find that very offensive.
Freedom of speech an all that! LOL
If we did that in a different country we would not get away with it!

I am white and Scottish/British. I really couldn't care less about who/what/where/why and when of ANY form of racism or racial hatred.
In this country - we abide by freedom of speech (apparently). So; the rest of us here in the UK (whether we are from here or not) should abide by the law/ways of life etc just like anyone else.
I am all for people celebrating their own cultures etc and I embrace the strength in character/faith people have in their own *God* (whichever you hold that/Him to be)... BUT... people are taking it too far!
DO NOT equate the colour of someone's skin to the fact that there are extremists out there. The two don't always match up to whatever we are told/led to believe and the only thing it leads to is solitude, persecution and segregation.
I have been told by many a person that the UK has been a *soft touch* for years. Letting the floodgates wide open to let all and sundry through the doors to a *better life*?!
Granted, I have also been told that the Koran teaches Muslims to essentially wipe out all other religions. Surely this in itself is no different to Catholicism or any other religion out there - that whichever faith you have - THAT is the one and only true faith.
I reckon we'll all probably blow ourselves up trying to dig ourselves out of the political wasteground/playground that the people in power have created for us. Don't hate who is in power - WE PUT THEM THERE... : (
Ok, rant over!!! Technically; the slogan *could* be deemed as a racial/sectarian remark and could be potentially noteworthy of informing the Police if you were so offended by it. BUT, if you had been so very offended by it - would you not have already spoken to some authority figure about it...? Wait, lemme guess -you didn't want to - for FEAR that YOU would be deemed as the one who was *racist*...?!
Where will it all end?! (Sorry for the rant*) x

Don't sound like it to me. Depends on what the message was meant and the actual race of the youth, not to mention if the car was his. Most likely it's an opinion of his country that is held by a monarchy.

I think it can be taken as a racial remark toward white & black BRITISH people, but we all know racism only works one way!!!
Try reporting that to the Police and they wont do nothing, but on the other hand if it said something like "All Asians are *WHATEVER*"(dont want to put something - someone is bound to complain as they dont have a life) then I bet You would be arrested under some stupid racism law!
rediculous
I strongly agree with Freddy the Newf!

Hong Kong was formerly ruled by Britain, as was Bejing. Perhaps this a reference to being an independent country, rather than under British Rule.

I don't get it. I guess maybe that is where the joke comes in. But something you have to explain isn't funny. Why would that not be legal. Should it be illegal if I have a sticker that says your ugly, or slow? that offends but people have opinions.

Soon they will make Shilpa Shetty Queen just to appease the Asians, then they will have the lot. :)

Why does this message bother you? The vast majority of Asians would not agree with the message.

I don't really think that qualifies as racist, it's just in poor taste and is a bit stupid.
I imagine the driver will have had a few 'chats' with other motorists by now!

You should have noted the registration and made a public issue of it. I am sick of one rule for them and another for us. The sign was inciting racial hatred.
