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.

«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

@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” -

To me, this is a fair and representative logo for this party.

@newsguyusa Likely providing cover for their Reform UK Party Ltd chums to give off the appearance of "not being like them".

Steve, I love your reporting but I can't keep ignoring that you routinely skip adding #AltText to your images. Yours is an important account with 51K+ followers but you are disrespecting a valuable and critical segment of your audience by not including Alt Text #Captions with your posts. There are many people on the #Fediverse that have eyesight problems and they can't appreciate your otherwise-fine reporting. Please be a good #Fedicitizen and add Alt Text to your images.

@newsguyusa Now don’t get me wrong here, I’m not debating those schmucks aren’t Nazis nor that this isn’t exactly what they’re alluding to here, but in case people are not aware: the Iron Cross is still the official emblem as well as the Badge of Honour of today’s German Armed Forces, it’s just a slightly redesigned version…

@newsguyusa
Displaying ignorance like it's a badge of honor.
I'm sure Putin and Steve Bannon are very proud of their propaganda machines and the division they created. Almost impossible to believe they weren't working together.
