A Welsh Ukip group has come under fire for likening the EU to the Nazi party in a doctored Facebook post.

Newport’s Ukip Facebook account posted an image representing the EU’s advance into the UK with a Swastika earlier this week. The graphic also implied collusion from Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives.

The post, claiming that Ukip will protect British shores from foreign interests, was removed from the Newport Ukip account following the backlash.

The scene was somewhat reminiscent of the iconic Dad’s Army credits.
