    An under-fire ferry firm has defended its choice of a new logo which critics have branded a ‘Nazi symbol’.

    Serco Northlink, which won the £243million publicly-funded contract to provide lifeline services to Orkney and Shetland, has developed a new marketing campaign centred on a fictional character, Magnus the Viking, which has its arm raised in the air.

    Uh. What's so Nazi about this? It's a Viking pointing his finger. Doesn't even look like a Nazi salute.

    If they're worried about the Viking imagery being associated with the Nazis the best solution to the problem is to use the (interesting and really cool) imagery and reclaim it, removing the negative associations by associating it with positive. Nothing good ever comes out of hiding history. Scholars and sages on every continent have said that for thousands of years.

    Hmm I don't see anything Nazi here. Let me guess.. some left-wing/Jewish racist anti-European organisations started bitching about absolutely nothing again ?



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Probably. Like when German antifa tried to cancel a concert by the band Tyr, who do metal versions of traditional Faroese ballads, and accused them of being racists when they use Nordic imagery because that is their culture. There is not a racist bone in any of the band members' bodies.

    I'm more offended by the unrealistic 'horned' helmet. Read this earlier as a lol.

    While those antifa are some of the biggest racists you could possibly imagine.

    As long as you use the Nazi excuse, you shall have your will.

    Gather your arms, brethren.
    Let your energy be driven by idealistic goals, and work for the interests
    of your countrymen and all Europeans. We cannot give up what has
    been given to us, so we, in our turn, can give our land to our children.
