Perth man gets a ‘Nazi’ surprise when he buys swastika slippers from Amazon


To Scotland, where a gentleman is furious that his cosy carpet slippers come with a bit of the Third Reich about them.

We’ve got enough genuine Nazis running around these days, sieg heiling in the streets, holding high office, so the last thing you want is to get home and find your footwear is of a fascist bent as well.

“But,” we hear people whine, “Isn’t the swastika also a Hindu symbol for good luck?”

Why, yes. Yes it is. But it’s also the Nazi symbol for being an utter bellend, so we’ll have less of your swaggering about like you’ve just occupied the Sudetenland, thank you very much.

“Any resemblance to the sign in question is purely coincidental. It is a honeycomb maze pattern,” said spokesperson Frank Goebbels.

Meanwhile, near Southampton:

He is known around the Southampton area as “a bit of a character” and quite a few other names. The least said the better.

And in Essex…

Except – history lesson here mate – these ones really are Hindu good luck symbols as the building pre-dates the rise of fascism in Germany.

So, put your chisel away and repeat after me “History is confusing”.
