Stokes Croft Painted with swastikas

Anyone walking down Stokes Croft this morning would have been met with the horrific sight of Nazi graffiti and racist ranting’s!



The swastikas, sized 1 by 1 foot squared started from Rodak at the bottom of Nine Tree Hill, and seemed to finish at the BIMM building on Jamaica Street opposite Kings Square. The total number is thought to be around 10.
The “People’s Republic Of Stokes Croft“ Outdoor Gallery was subject to a racist rant within which the word “Niger” was used.
Other business that had been targeted included the Croft Live Music Venue and Flowers of Stokes Croft.
The Croft had played host to an Anti-Racist fundraiser gig featuring two very well-known Anti-Fascist punk and Oi bands in April earlier this year.
This act of Nazi graffiti was clearly an organised act, possibility carried out by a number of people.
If you see any graffiti of this nature you should photograph it before reporting it to the business owners and local authority. Clearly it is understandable if people are not willing to photograph or report such acts.
Swastikas are no less than symbols of serious hate. Whoever carried out this act - did so in order to raise awareness of their Nazi politics, and strike fear into those affected by the sheer, unjustified reign of terror brought down on millions of innocent people by Hitler’s Nazi party.
A similar act was carried out In Manchester in August;
