A spate of Nazi symbol graffiti across Newcastle has been condemned as “repugnant” and “cowardly”.
Swastikas have been spray-painted this week in vandalism attacking NHS workers and the city’s new Clean Air Zone (CAZ) tolls. The Local Democracy Reporting Service told on Wednesday how a “F*** THE CLEAN AIR ZONE” message had appeared at the side of the Great North Road, greeting drivers coming into the north side of the city centre near the Hancock Museum.
And it has since emerged that more pieces of graffiti also including the Nazi emblem have been seen across Newcastle. A banner opposite the Freeman Hospital thanking NHS staff was defaced with the words “COVID LIARS” and a swastika.
