This chap probably thought he was showing his patriotic side when he proudly pinned a poppy to his chest before heading off on a ‘Stop the Mosque’ protest.

Whether he forgot about the massive Swastika tattoo on his ribcage, or just didn’t spot the not so subtle link between the two symbols, we’re not sure.

He was pictured among a group of demonstrators who took to the streets of Bolton, Greater Manchester, to protest against the construction of a mosque in the town.

While goading a group of Unite Against Fascism (UAF) counter-protesters, he lifted his shirt, exposing his Nazi ink.

The brainbox was among a group of people who marched through Bolton with a police escort while chanting ‘no more mosques’ and ‘whose streets? Our streets’.

The mosque and Islamic Centre has already been granted permission by Bolton Council.

Campaigners said around 150 people turned up, but UAF claimed they outnumbered them three to one with 200 protesters compared to 60.

A flag of far-right group National Action was also spotted among the protesters, who were kept in a fenced off area to keep them from the UAF.

One of the protest’s organisers, Bryan Morgan, said: ‘Today was about highlighting the corruption of the council, the Islamification of the town, the Mosque building programme.

‘Any time anyone opposes anything to do with colour creed or religion automatically the race card is pulled out.

‘If they bothered to sit down and look at it they’d see some of the issues being raised are ones both sides agree on.’

Nick Peel, executive member for the Environment at Bolton Council, said: ‘Obviously everybody has a right to protest. However I understand the nature of it was described as ‘anti-mosque’.

‘Well that is ridiculous in the free and open society we live in.

‘One of our most enshrined values is freedom of worship to for one section of the community to protest against worship facilities for another section is very un-British.’

No arrests were made.
