But that spear makes it proper sinister. It's also unfortunate that it's currently used by the German military as a symbol of national identity.

The Iron Cross iconography is typically edgy UKIP, but I don't find it particularly provocative. Certainly not as provocative as the folk trying to compare it to a swastika seem to want it to be. The spear and shield combo in tandem with the cross is fucking bonkers, though.

I think it's more to do with suggesting that reform aren't like that.

It's an Iron Cross with a Spear of Destiny.
Oh. I see the problem now...

would be as ridiculous and hypocritical as being the leader of a party based on anti-immigrant rhetoric while having a German wIfe
Oh, waitโฆ.

As far as I can tell, and I am not an expert, they currently hold no elected positions of any kind. I encourage this kind of thing as I don't think there are enough people who would identify as Nazis to make any impact on any election.
The post made me go to the UKIP website; as I said, I had no idea that they still existed, there's no sign of this logo; I clicked on their twitter (x) feed, no sign, the twitter feed came from their website. I was really hoping to find the obvious Nazi magnet because I'd like anyone putting out a logo like this to disappear down a hole. Anyone know where to find it in their media?

UKIP do appear to still be an active party, though. Their current leader is a charming bloke named Nick.
