The Uniform has been in constant evolution since 1908. As were the many variations of the Swastika ('Thank's') reward badges issued until the mid 1930's. The Swastika was also used prior to the Fleur de lis being adopted as the symbol for the centre of the Boy Scouts belt buckle. but is so rare even I can't find a picture of one.

All though (?) the swastika had been around well before AH hijacked it. birthday cards, get well soon, congratulation cards etc, etc all used the Swastika as a sign of good luck.

Midnight walks in't country , camping, seeing my first shooting star! Happy Daze. Keep safe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Once all the buildings have been renamed, the statues removed of anybody having even the most tenuous links to the slave trade and songs like this have been cancelled, there'll be no record of it. History is being re-written just as George Orwell prophesised in '1984'. Ye wait while they pick on the royalty the biggest benefactors of slavery.

History is being re-written just as George Orwell prophesised in '1984'. A total strawman. History is not being rewritten its being remembered in all its ugly truth. Its the gloryfying of the practitioners of slavery that is being rethought, a more honest reflection should be shown. As for the royal family.......... do you really want to go there. What is the basis of their wealth? Edited November 8, 2021 by Flanker7 neater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Start another Topic if you lot want to slag the Royal Family. Being born into a privileged family doesn't make the society any more decent. We are just as privileged to have been born and even more responsible for how decent the society we live in is. Going BO-HO they've got more money and land and removing them because of it , is going to do what? Answers on a £20 note to the usual address please 🧐.
