The swastika is still a symbol used by neo Nazi organisations and is hugely offensive to Jews, homosexuals, those with a disability or just anyone with common decency. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone wrote a rude word on a beach that caused “great upset and distress” Any guesses what was said? https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/investigation-underway-into-offensive-graffiti-at-glen-wyllin-beach-706615 The amount of time, effort and resources suggest offensive graffiti was directed at one of our politicos. Whilst graffiti as a whole is offensive and anti social, would the police get involved if this was aimed at a normal member of the public? They may investigate but they wouldn’t forensically examine the evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don’t think you can say that with any certainty. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 If you find the swastikas offensive then might I recommend you do not go to India/Pakistan/Nepal on holiday. And yes they had the swastika a smidgeon before the Nazi's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah so you reckon these were a couple of indians just daubing a symbol of well being, and nothing to do with extremist right ring ideology, so if for example these were to start appearing on flags outside the legion we should fear not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 More like fat around the head. I just stated that you may wish to consider going on holiday to regions that the swastika holds different connotations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this context it is clear it is a symbol of hate and evil and is offensive. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Offensive but not illegal? As in, in Germany it’s an illegal symbol and can only be used in certain context, for example educational. Any computer games have it removed. Get the same game in Britain and the swastikas are left in. Feels like there’s some context missing here. Were these stupid kids who found a spray can or a deliberate act aimed at an individual or a group? Has the Foxdale Liberation Front turned into an Adolf fan club or was it just some lone idiot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cissolt Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Someone is gay? Looks like kids messing about, not worthy of a full police investigation! I know a young chap who had his scooter stolen and couldn't even get a crime number from the police for his insurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they would, it's just usually the culprit isn't stupid enough to leave their spray can behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
