He used to be a leader of the BNP, the British National Front, a fascist political party.

I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the world is flat

Itself a reversal of the anarchy symbol.

And, yes, another Alan Moore-related iconographic enters popular culture in a new and… very different way.
