Swastika on British Parliament targets far-right

Campaigners against far-right in the UK have projected an image of a swastika on side of Parliament.

London: Campaigners against the far-right in Britain on Monday projected an image of a swastika on the side of Parliament, amid fears extremists could be voted in at this week`s general election.

The anti-fascist group, the EMMA Trust, beamed the picture of the red and white swastika onto the Houses of Parliament alongside the phrase: "Decision Time. Keep the far-right out."

"The rationale behind this projection is to protect this iconic building that is the bastion of our democratic values around the world against the invasion of the far-right," said a trust spokesman.

The far-right British National Party (BNP) is fielding about 330 candidates in Thursday`s vote.

It made gains in elections to the European Parliament in June last year, with two of its members -- including leader Nick Griffin -- winning seats in the legislature.
