Odd obscurantism over one observation...

I purchased my t-shirt last month so I was aware, but I suspect we are in the minority.
Good man Paul. I thought you'd know due to Polish connections (???) or am I imagining that?
I haven't heard about it. I am unaware of any publicity in the media but there must be some.
Some countries don't allow the swaztika(Sp?)to be seen so that might be a reason even if in a good cause.
Though the Hammer and Sickle hasn't been banned as far as I know. And as far as I know(and my knowledge is negligable)but the Swaztika belonged to another culture or race and was originally for good.
I'm sure I read that somewhere but what do I know?
Your not wrong Gildy, it is the symbol of good luck and other things in various religions and cultures! It is quite amusing looking through our 'Western' eyes' at innocent photos of people and buildings with the swastika
Talking of Nazi's I see Hungary upset the Germans at a sporting event last weekend by playing the banned version (since 1952) of the German national anthem. Conspiracy theorists must love the fact that the Hungarian organisers refused to let the Germans hear the recording before the ceremony as is usual protocol.
No Polish family connections Span but I was a member of the Anti-Nazi league in my youth and I'm not one of those who think Hitler bad, Stalin good either.
Ta, not sure why I think/thought that. Maybe someone else blogging.
That Hungary tale is great, I wonder if there are any videos of surprised and peeved faces listening to the anthems.
