The Falklands is still a serious sore spot for the Argentinians. In 2014, the crew from BBC’s Top Gear got attacked while filming in Argentina because someone thought the license plate on Jeremy Clarkson’s car — H982 FKL — was meant to be a taunt over the 1982 Falklands war.

As if Clarkson had some bone to pick with the Argentinians, plus he had enough pull with someone in the Ministry of Transportation to get a specific set of numerals on his plate.

That’s some tin foil hat stuff.
