Save the V Sign – your country needs you
THE people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: Save the V Sign as the hand gesture of first resort:
The V Sign – two-fingered salute – is being destroyed by the single raised middle finger, a symbol of American cultural imperialism. The V Sign user is blessed with a mind steeped in history. They are sensitive to nuance. This is swearing with a light, deft touch. Save it before it it gone for ever.
Say no to tosspot drivers, cyclists and football fans showing the ‘sit on it’ finger. Two fingers. We demand the full two fingers. If you are going to swear put some effort into it!
As bad are the celebrities and rappers who signal with two fingers unaware of its true meaning.
Post your V sign photos and storis to Anorak’s Facebook page. Sign the petition.
Here’s a gallery of people getting it right and wrong:

John Prescott Britain's Deputy Prime Minister enters 10 Downing Street. As Mr Prescott entered No 10, he could not resist sticking two fingers up behind his back at waiting journalists. Welsh Secretary Peter Hain and Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon followed in quick succession. * Just before 3pm Transport Secretary Alistair Darling made his way into No 10 and Home Secretary David Blunkett laughed and gave a thumbs-up before he joined fellow ministers. Education Secretary Charles Clarke and Environment Secretary Margaret Beckett were the last to enter No 10.
