Far-right propaganda in Cathays causes anger

12 December 2017

People have expressed their anger after a number of far-right propaganda posters were spotted in the Cathays district of Cardiff.

The posters show images of a swastika and the Jewish World War Two heroine Anne Frank. They were found on Senghennydd Road (pictured) and other parts of Cathays.

They also encourage people to visit the group’s website, which posts inflammatory pro-Nazi content.

This is the second time in three months that Cathays has been targeted with far-right propaganda.

In early October, posters displaying a severed head with the words ‘death to traitors’ were put up in the mainly student-populated area.

Images of the posters have been shared widely on Twitter, with local people expressing shock.

Cathays resident, Chris Wallace, said: ”People make these sort of things as jokes online but they’re not, it is not OK to joke about. Nazism is a very in thing at the moment and we shouldn’t be encouraging it. Especially in an ethically diverse city.”

A number of people have called on South Wales Police to launch a criminal investigation.
