    You'll be surprised to know that a lot of countries and international organisations have flags.

    This one incorporates the biggest symbols of oppression including, but not limited to the "Hammer and Sickle".

    The point of the picture being that it is a Europe accepting of diverse ideologies, including communism of which the hammer and sickle is a symbol.

    Preaching tolerance is a bad thing, apparently.

    Well yes, being tolerant of something that's hurtful is a bad thing.

    Also I see the symbol of communism, even though there's not any Swastika. So much for tolerance, huh? It's also funny if you think about it in the way that there might even be more neo-nazis than communist to be found today, due to the current economic crisis 'n' stuff.

    History has taught us that both are bad though. As such we shouldn't tolerate them enough for them to have any chance of consolidating in parts of society.

    Nazism == communism?

    The theory of communism isn't necessarily hurtful, but the people who have attempted to enact it have indeed caused suffering.

    Why is it we can never get a simple 'Yes', 'No' and 'Undecided' poll? You are only limiting the number of people who will respond by adding on that extra tripe.

    I think the Tories have actually done something rather clever. If Nigel Farage is anything like the despots that lead the other minor parties, which I am sure he is, he will sell his soul at the first whiff of power.

    As for a cabinet position. Why not make him Secretary of State for Scotland? We know how much he loves the place and have seen how the people have embraced him.

    I want a "The UKIP can fuck off" option. They sound like the GOP of the UK.

    Same. They are basically the Tea Party of the UK which is why so many of the usual far right crowd have been promoting them so tirelessly.

    Yeah... if that happens, Scottish Independence is pretty much guaranteed. There's a whole bunch of polls floating about regarding people's position on Independence if the Conservatives get in power again in 2015, and it's in the 50%+ support section. Combine that with UKIP?

    Recipe for disaster for the Union campaign if that ever happens.

    Minister for Northern Ireland is traditionally the position you choose when you want to push somebody out of the public eye.

    Nazi symbolism is illegal in Germany.
