Arrested for celebrating Hitlers birthday

[davek_964]

Just heard on the radio that a load of people were arrested for "celebrating Hitlers birthday" - items seized included a cake with a swastika on it.

Although it's not a party I'd want to attend - what law did this break? Race / hate crime?

No laws at all. Let them carry on with their far right nazi worship of the fuhrer, the lovable rogues that they are.

Didn't Elon do a roman salute recently in tribute?

Based on a two second scan of the BBC article - Section 18 Public Order Act offences.
