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 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…

@skittles @newsguyusa So, what they’re trying to say is that they’re the German party? How are they German? What aspect of Germanness do they associate with?

@newsguyusa Not only an iron cross. In the back of the logo there's a shield and a spear. This is militarized aesthetics.
