Far right UK Independence Party applies to change its official election symbol to one resembling the Iron Cross, previously used by Prussia & Germany (1871-1918) and the Nazi regime (1933-45).

@newsguyusa On the bright side, look how well it worked out for Prussia. What they up to these days?

@newsguyusa First I thought it was a joke.

Well, it it a joke, but...

@newsguyusa as a German, this is hard to see.

An iron cross with a circular shield at the center and a spear from lower left to upper right. To the right of that it says, UKIP THE NEW RIGHT.

@newsguyusa That should tell you everything you need to know about them. Problem is the general public is more or less stupid and will sign on with whomever gives them the biggest set of perceived benefits no matter the cost, aka, the usa.

@newsguyusa They misspelled "Reich"

«However, the party has claimed the emblem features "the holy lance, the Eucharist and the Cross Pattée" adding it is "outright offensive" to suggest the logo is a "Nazi symbol".»

Oh. Okay. That’s sooo much better

@jonathankoren @newsguyusa what the fuck, this is straight up an Iron Cross. jesus

[bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot]

@newsguyusa I thought at first this was a headline from a satirical publication. SMDH.

@newsguyusa Whelp… as what seems to be verified over time (thinking about the change to X and it “becoming” a porn site)
If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, & sounds like a duck… then it probably is… a duck
These people make it very obvious what they are & then have a “sheer curtain” of talk, saying “yada yada …we are just trying to think of other viewpoints” or “we are thinking of the common man” when it gets pretty obvious very quickly that they’re thinking about one type of “man”🫩
