London, Jan 29 (ANI): The sale of a family board game based on sitcom Dad’s Army has been prohibited after a swastika was found on its box. Internet auction site eBay
removed the game, labelling it “offensive material” since it could stir racial and religious hatred and incite violence. David Davidson, a retired bank worker from Droitwich, Worcestershire had offered the game for 99p. The 1970s game has players contending to be the first to get their platoon across the board and includes famous characters from the show like Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson.The box has arrows containing swastikas and one bearing the Union flag, like in the opening titles of the TV programme.more
Set in the dark days of 1940 the battle of France and the miracle of Dunkirk have just happened. The country calls on all men to take up arms to fend off the dreaded Hun. This is the story of men too old to join the army, but willing to join the Home Guard; a force made up of bankers, bakers, butchers and undertakers and anyone else they could find.More
Is this surprising, considering that Scamfront banned the swastika..?
I read at work when time permits and one day I was reading the book, Debating the Holocaust. The book has a Swastika and the Star of David on the cover. See book at IHR .org.
One girl said that the symbol on the book could be offensive to some people. I apologized to her stating that I wrote a letter to the author saying that the Star of David was offensive and should be removed from the book cover and that he promised to have it removed from future copies.
go to ebay and type in ‘nazi’ ‘totenkopf’ or ‘german SS’ and you will see many swazis, its only when someone complains about an item that its kicked off. you can even type in ’skinhead’ and get around 1500 hits on items being sold.
