Those Finns are creative. 🇫🇮❤️
Finland has a 1,340 km long border to Russia. They plan to create an array of up to 1,000 wind turbines with sensors on top of each pole to monitor Russian drone activity as well as making Finland even more Green.

There is no doubt that we need to move to renewable energy as soon as possible – and above all, to dramatically reduce our energy and resource consumption. Wind turbines are a key part of that transit...

Nigel Farage and the Reform Party UK aren't exactly dispelling the suspicion that Farage is a far right sympathiser with this signed black football shirt, with an arrow pointing to the number 18 and a motto reminiscent of Vichy France.

Gold circular Reform UK logo with an arrow pointing at the number 18 Hate symbols Totenkopf "Totenkopf" is German for "death's head" and typically refers to a skull-and-crossbones image. During the Nazi era, Hitler's Schutzstaffel (SS) adopted one particular Totenkopf image as a symbol. Following the war, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists resurrected the Totenkopf as a hate symbol because of its importance to the SS and it has been a common hate symbol since. 18 Number 18 18 is a white supremacist alphanumeric code for Adolf Hitler (1=A and 8-H). It is most commonly associated with the British white supremacist group Combat 18 or C18. 28 Number 28 28 is the white supremacist alphanumeric code for Blood & Honour (2=B and 8-H). Confederate flag Symbol used during the American Civil War. It's the flag that became most associated with the Confederacy - the so-called "battle flag." The flag also served as a potent symbol of slavery and white supremacy, which has caused it to be very popular among white supremacists in the 20th and 21st centuries. Celtic cross Celtic cross consists of a square cross interlocking with or surrounded by a circle. Its origins date to the pre-Christian "sun cross" or "wheel cross" in ancient Europe. After World War II, a variety of white supremacist groups and movements adopted the symbol. Today, this verson of the Celtic Cross is used by neo-Nazis, racist skinheads, Ku Klux Klan members and virtually every other type of white supremacist. Othala Rune The othala rune is part of the runic alphabet system, a system of writing used across pre-Roman Europe. In the 20th century, Nazis in Germany adopted the othal rune, as part of their attempt to reconstruct a mythic "Aryan" past. Nazi uses of the symbol included the divisional insignia of two Waffen SS divisions during World War II. Following World War II, white supremacists in Europe, North America, and elsewhere began using the othala rune.
