FSFO Badge
Description: Badges - FSFO badges produced for 1988 Tynwald Day celebrations. FSFO ('Financial Sector F**K Off') had been daubed on various bridges, buildings and finance properties on the Island and was seen as an attack on the Finance sector and the finance boom - it culminated in 40 foot letters being marked in weed killer on the hillside overlooking Tynwald. Badges produced as a light hearted response to the FSFO campaign and response of the authorities:
i. 'Fox Scoffs Furry Ocelot'.
ii. 'Flying Saucer From Orion'.
iii. 'Family Saved From Octopus'.
iv. 'Fuming Socks Flung Out'.
v. 'Ferrous Salts Form Oxides'.
vi. 'French Student Fails O-Levels'
