Am I missing something here? Why do people keep referring to the act of hanging a swastika flag on your house as 'sly'?

No but Jakabite is right, hanging a literal WW2 German flag is well past brazen and accelerating towards “gently caress you”.

If I had any money that wasn't being spent on energy bills, I would bet that it's a milhist wonk who is hoping someone knocks on his door so he can 'well actually' his way to owning them with facts and logic.

Or they're away for the week and their 4chan edgelord teenager has done it.

That'll put a dent in the unemployment figures.

Though of course it'll be farmed out to some rich Tory benefactor's shell company with the actual work done by poor sods on zero-hours contracts who have to change 72 signs per hour to avoid financial penalties.

Good point. It's definitely way more blatant than the 88/Celtic Cross/Runes/Lions + Union Jack stuff. I suppose it's 'sly' in the sense that you can predict that they're leaving themselves the deniability of "It's just symbolising the sinking of the Bismarck...you lot see Nazis everywhere [has a literal Nazi battle flag outside their house]".

Of course the question would be why are they marking the sinking of the Bismarck, not the Battle of the Denmark Straight a few days before when Hood was lost with virtually all hands? :magemage:

Although the modern British fascist often seem to the weird sort to proudly fly a White Ensign and Support The Troops and be obsessed with WW2 and British naval history while also wanting to fly a Kreigsmarine flag and supporting the ideology that Britain was fighting against.

Did he actually have to bother changing the ministerial code to Avoid Consequences? Seems to me he could have just ignored the code anyway?

Unless he plans to take questions from the press and go "uhm actually the code, if you take a look at it, heh, means we don't have to resign if we lie so everything's good"

Surely better to just insist "I didn't lie, THE MATTER IS SETTLED" every time, no?

Hanging a WW1 flag is the actual common sly move. 'Oh dear me I thought this was a WW1 flag and didn't know what the swastika implied, my bad' is what I personally was thinking of as sly here, which is dumb as rocks but well a lot of Nazis are dumb as rocks.

He doesn't plan to take questions from the press. Or from anyone else. As was, there was an obligation to at least go through the motions of investigation when he did something criminal, even if we all knew that the verdict would be that no action would be taken. Now, there isn't. He can do what he wants, when he wants, and if anyone asks about it he can tell them to gently caress off or even arrest them for prying into private government business.
