SWP Member Arrested For Displaying Nazi Insignia.....

Equating Nazism and Zionism is not always a good idea.

A signed up member of the SWP has been arrested in Cambridge, within the environs of Peterhouse College for displaying a Nazi Swastika together with the flag of Israel with the narrative "Jews are Nazis". She was taken in by the local constabulary after being reported by nearby persons who felt deeply offended. These people happened to be German exchange students (some of whom were Jewish) who were deeply offended by the ladies sentiments. One commented (via a translation) "it is scary that in this day and age, so called socialists are bringing back the darkest period of German history to replicate the actions of Israel" The lady was taken to the local police station and questioned. She, happily admitted her membership of the SWP and commented to press afterwards that the local SWP had "egged her on and provided the flags"

Personally, I think a more appropiate equation would be the SWP flag and the Swastika.
