AB draws some celtic since that tat is a three leaf clover with 666 but they also identify with christian trinty.

ALSO

          the swastika AND runes are very british. the third reich didn't invent them.

Swastikas are Indian in origin.

The runes make more sense.

YOU ARE RIGHT

          that the swastika is also shared by India. as well as every other culture. it's the universal sunwheel. at the time the third reich adopted it, the swastika was so prominent even here in the states(not just by native americans) that it was equivalent to the happy face. what's criminal about the third reich association is that a large part of humanity has had an ancient, inner symbol taken away from them. a lot of the earliest presence of the swastika in england comes from the romans, and, the swastika itself exists as a rune variation of the 'gebo' rune.

OBVIOUSLY

          the bnp and related groups are not necessarily harkening back to the culture/ history of england which they more often present on the surface.

[E.O.T.]

The Teletubbies make more sense!

THIS

          goes without saying.

TELETUBBIES

          as universally loved & hated as the swastika. before and after WWII association.

And with a far more sinister agenda.

Swastikas are Indian in origin.

The runes make more sense.

Swastikas originated in many cultures in many regions quite independently of each other. They are very nearly a universal motif, found in native cultures on every continent. Saying they were Indian in origin is true, but that does not contradict that they were also British in origin, Norse in origin, American in origin... etc.
