The article contains a number of what seems to be assurances from different groups that this was unplanned and a behaviour not representative of these people as a group. It's notable, however, that multiple people seem to have been able to sing along.

"We do not normally sing this song we all knew the tune and lyrics to."

I can't even remember all the words to my favorite songs. How do people have the time

Only a fucking idiot would parade around as the assholes who blew half your country to smithereens and actively murdered your grandparents.

But it’s so cool to be controversial and non conformist by conforming to nazi bullshit.

Does "condemned" mean "expelled" or "told not to get caught" in British?

Well, this is just my opinion as a jaded American, but I believe it means "Told off in a publicly embarrassing way that has zero actual consequence in the long term, so the powerful people of the party can wash their hands of the whole matter whilst pretending they don't actually openly celebrate their fascism behind closed doors."

Maybe we should just stop calling them conservatives and just call them what they are Nazis.

I've been calling them regressives for some time now, because they're not being conservative about anything.

That's what they want to conserve. Nazism. Let it never die is their philosophy.

nazis are emboldened more and more every day. We're all fucked.
