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?

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

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

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?
