Leeds Market selling nazi Icons

anti-fash | 08.01.2010 20:18 | Social Struggles | Sheffield

A stall on Leeds Market is selling flags with the neo-nazi celtic cross symbol on. The celtic cross is a banned symbol in Germany, Italy (and some other countries) due to the wide spread use by neo nazis, not only is this gentleman selling the black on white celtic cross, he is also selling the Red celtic cross flag.

Further information

The celtic cross is the symbol used by nazi group strom-front (www.stormfront.org)

According to www.crwflags.com "The celtic cross is probably the most popular symbol among (seemingly not only) european neonazis, even more than the traditional swastika (but that’s maybe because the swastika is banned or has its use “protected” in many countries). They base it in that Celts are “true” Europeans (i.e., of “pure” breed)."

The celtic cross is also the basis for the KKK logo
