Sometimes you
just can't believe your own eyes. . . Downing
Street's short-lived swastika logo

WE are indebted to Heretical.com for
posting this record and to those who
drew our attention to it. There appears
to be a Fifth Column operating within
No.10, or perhaps it is just one of the
staff of its Indian call-centre who
designed the logo for our beloved
leader - the swastika in Hindu
mythology is a symbol of rebirth. Below are some more links about this
mess. It is bound to cause
outrage in some circles, and
would in Germany and Austria lead to a
stiff prison sentence for somebody. |

April 3
2008: Sometime before noon the
webmaster at 10 Downing Street posted a new
website with a logo featuring a clearly visible,
correctly oriented NSDAP swastika.
At around 11pm, after mocking emails and with
general hilarity spreading web-wide, the site
became Password Restricted.
On April 4 the site was restored, but with a
sanitised logo.
By that evening the site appeared to have
incorporated most of the suggestions made
on
the Devil's Kitchen blog regarding its poor
design.
"It is ridiculous to suggest that Gordon
Brown is anything like Adolf Hitler"
said one wag on ConservativeHome, "Hitler was
elected."
