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).

«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

@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”🫩

@malin @newsguyusa The UKIP leader is not well pleased with the response to their new logo.

You can't just go around playing the Nazi card!

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".

@newsguyusa The circle in the middle also echoes the classic white power odin's cross

@malin @newsguyusa I was avoiding using the N-word for fear of being accused of being too woke.

You're on Mastodon, so it's already too late.

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…

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.

@newsguyusa So what's the british word for quisling again...

@pauliehedron @newsguyusa I think they’re busy denying genocide.

[passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social]

@tristrambrelstaff @malin @newsguyusa how often were they head butting people that they decided they needed a spike there?

[malin@dice.camp]

@passwordsarehard4 @tristrambrelstaff @newsguyusa
I think it's compensating for something.
