They seem to have left the bundle of sticks with a little axe off. Back to the designers, lads.

I hate being so consistently proved right about the right.

Well, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck…

Yeah identical twins are often described as looking similar.

Alright but given the benefit of the doubt, what did they mean it to look like if not the iron cross and why?

I’ve already posted this once in a different group, but here we go again…
The design is much more similar with the Templar cross, but I guess that wouldn’t get the engagement from the easily misled.
The iron cross on the other hand was established by Frederick III of Prussia and was awarded for acts of bravery and exceptional military deeds. Nothing to do with the nazis aside from them also using it as an award for the same reasons.
The more access we have to information, the more misinformed we become…

Looks like the kind of thing you’d see on anything to do with the knights templar.
I think there’s loads of images of St George with a red version on his shield or tabard.
People see what they want to see I suppose. Says more about them than anything.

They’re not really a relevant party anymore, even the Russians don’t fund them these days.

I mean, if you were going to choose a military insignia for your logo why the fuck you go for a German one instead of a British one if you weren’t trying to imply something?

Correct me if I’m wrong but the Iron Cross is more of German symbol than Nazi (Germany before Hitler)

This is an incredible, shocking piece of news. UKIP still *exist*?!

This was the point. It’s a way of getting attention.

How else are they to get attention? I imagine most people just assumed they ceased to exist after Farage left.

They should have put a little picture of a skull on it.

Non-story. Variants of that cross are already in use on [all sorts of national symbols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_patt%C3%A9e).
