I don’t really know what’s going on because when I saw ‘Lee Mack’ trending, it was already chock-full of the Nazi jokes, and not what the actual issue/story is? The closest I could find was the ‘88’ tattoo on the guy’s right cheek, which has been explained as commemorating the year that the bloke’s dad died.

That may or may not be true, but when has that stopped Twitter?

"88" is a common tattoo/symbol in far right circles, as code for "HH" (H being the 8th letter in the alphabet), as an abbreviation for "Heil Hitler".

He also has "23" and "16", which I've not encountered before, but as "WP" apparently mean "White Power", and has the word "Homegrown" tattooed. Not sure if there are more.

One of them would probably have scope for plausible deniability, accidentally ending up with a whole bunch of Nazi tattoos would be one hell of a coincidence.

 

Weirdly I was only having this conversation in the pub yesterday; apparently there had been a group of bikers in recently, with death's head patches on their jackets. My argument was that some symbols become divorced from their initial meaning, and consumed into another culture - if I see someone wearing an iron cross, they might just be a Motorhead fan. The bikers might have seen other bikers wearing that skull design and nicked it, without knowing its provenance. The same sort of thing could conceivably happen in tattoo culture. But there's a limit to plausible deniability.
