Actually, it can (at least for my combination of country and vehicle).

Pretty interesting (if not particularly surprising) the promotion of inter-community hatred as well.

"two Bristol graffiti artists... were asked to spray-paint the Islamic shahada - the declaration of faith - in Arabic on a defunct Debenhams in the city centre. One was also asked to spray a Quranic verse about the "devil's handiwork" on a Conservative Club in the city."

"... provided Roman Lavrynovych [low-level criminal] with an anti-Muslim poster, designed to appear like it had been written by a Hindu by referencing the 1992 destruction of an ancient Indian mosque by right-wing Hindu groups. "Every mosque closed = 100 fewer crimes," the poster said."

Also - obviously annual not weekly - don't forget the Reith Lectures (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00729d9): long-form lecture series by (often) the most brilliant people of their time. Back catalogue available from 1948 in podcast form. Recommend starting with Bertrand Russell in the inaugural lectures - he's fantastic to listen to, even now.

Apologies for people who've already seen this (it's pretty old and comes round fairly frequently on HN), but for those previously unaware, http://trafficwaves.org/ is one of the best sites digging into the phenomenon from an "educated layman's" perspective.
