A NEW party logo proposed by the UK Independence Party (Ukip) has been slammed for being strikingly similar to a Nazi symbol.

A Ukip spokesperson said: "... The Cross Pattée has been featured throughout British history and is used as the Victoria Cross, sits on the crown of our monarch, and is also found within the Parliamentary logo.

Are critics suggesting that the King, Parliament and our war heroes are all Nazis?"

Isn't that a Ukrainian pagan symbol of resistance against Russian aggression?

Nazi shit aside, how the fuck did the leading on the word mark get approved? UKIP and the slogan are so squished together

It's actually a Buddhist symbol

[–] ihexx@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

if you were intentionally trying to doget as close as possible to a nazi symbol while still retaining enough plausible deniability, this is what you'd converge to

That look like a generic guild symbol in random AI graphic gacha game lol

Shit they've said on their websites:

Make a difference. Join the crusade here:

Christianity & Britain First!

Call out and educate on the problems of centrism and Liberalism/Godlessness as root cause problems as they lead to broken homes, narcissism, apathy and ignorance and ultimately takeover from hostile/foreign entities.

Yeah that logo is pretty appropriate for what they're going for.

Isn’t their post-Reform Party foundation membership composed almost entirely of True Brexit Geezers too far right to go to a nonsegregated party meetup but too old to follow whatever shit Tommy Robinson’s pulling

Wasn't it literally people like Sargon of Akkad?

Are they even relevant anymore? I thought all the fascists are under Reform now

[–] RedSturgeon@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They're irrelevant, until they start organizing pogroms. Then we all stop laughing at them.

And who is going to stop them? Your party? nl-despair

"similarities"
