Here it is: Photo: Twitter/@tompeck And here are some stills of a Nazi propaganda video, shown in the first episode of a six-part BBC documentary from 2005 currently on Netflix called Auschwitz: The Nazis and The Final Solution: @UKIP When you get so involved in your British nationalism that you slip into acting like Nazis. #JustUKIPthings pic.twitter.com/pgWfizUGel — Brendan Harkin (@brendanjharkin) June 16, 2016 Other keen-eyed people online have noticed further problems with the poster – aside from, y’know, its FASCIST overtones. For example, a man who appears to be white has been conveniently blocked by the strapline: Funny how the prominent white dude gets blocked out of the poster. pic.twitter.com/54nI3xo7oK — Rupert Myers (@RupertMyers) June 16, 2016 And your mole can’t help thinking that Ukip, aside from being morally repugnant, is just pretty rubbish at its job.
