Asian guy even selling them in his shop in london where i live. No one cares its just a t.shirt etc. I even saw gay guys wearing infedel t.shirts in brighton last year. I read on this site that the anti edl demo in wathamstow the local asians attacked the anti feacists. I laughed at that aswell.

Selling so much nazi gear should be classed the same as selling child porn

22.05.2013 13:44

How far does this kind of sąd"funny"nihilism extend?, just because there are stupid& twisted people around that wear this crap likely made in chinese sweatshops, doesnt meant Its ok. Theres always afew who dont understand& they need to be educated. This shop is obviously run by a nazi admirer, who is likely selling nazi junk clothes@ rip off prices. Child porn shouldnt be tolerated& neither should gear advertising scum who happily murdered millions of children-civilians in coldblood,simple.
Be polite to oasis owners, these have been quite hard times& they may not know, in fact always be nice, whoever owns this shop is Vsick& twisted.

They've put this up on their website now:

"NOTICE: WE HAVE DECIDED TO REMOVE ANY NAZI THEMED T SHIRTS FROM OUR WEBSITE. WE ARE NOT CONNECTED TO ANY FASCIST MOVEMENT OR ANY POLITICAL MOVEMENT IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM & NEVER HAVE BEEN. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF BULLY BOY TACTICS TOWARDS US FOR SELLING THESE ITEMS BUT STRANGELY NOBODY HAS CONTACTED US DIRECTLY. ANYWAY THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN REMOVED EXCEPT FOR THE SCISSORS BEAT PAPER T SHIRT WHICH ACTUALLY RIDICULES FASCISM. WE HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP THE ANTI TALIBAN T SHIRTS. IT MAY HAVE ESCAPED SOME PEOPLES ATTENTION BUT WE HAVE BEEN AT WAR WITH THE TALIBAN FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND LOST A LOT OF GOOD MEN AND WOMEN FROM ALL FAITHS."

So that's alright then. Noticed they haven't said they are going to stop selling them, just not putting them on their website anymore.

@i laughed - cool story bro, probably you who posted the original bullshit about asians attacking antifascists in Walthamstow. I actually do laugh at how pathectic UK fascism is.

Statement on the Targets Zone website

22.05.2013 22:16


It's good to see Targets Zone have removed the Nazi shirts from their website, but have they removed the Nazi merchandise from their SHOP?

In their statement Targets Zone condescendingly suggest that "it may have escaped some people's attention but we have been at war with the Taliban for several years and lost a lot of good men and women from all faiths". It may have escaped THEIR attention, but the reason for raising this issue was because TENS OF MILLIONS of good men and women, including tens of thousands of innocent British civilians, were murdered by the Nazis during WW2 and during the Blitz.

As for the claim that Targets Zone "are not connected to any Fascist movement", if you profit from the sale of Nazi merchandise, by definition you ARE part of the Fascist movement, and if you also sell merchandise that ridicules Fascism or if you "only" promote Nazism for profit (rather than for ideology) that makes you WORSE (not better) than conventional Fascists.

As for Targets Zone's nonsense about "bully boy tactics", in fact ZERO bullying was used to get Targets Zone to remove the Nazi merch from their website - the only action that was taken against them was to expose their actions to wider public scrutiny. They also claim that "nobody has contacted us directly", as if any person in their right mind is going to identify themselves to people who sell Nazi t-shirts and who also sell lethal weapons like crossbows and hunting-knives!!!!

Green Targets Zone "Cheeky Hitler" t-shirt worn (under his bomber jacket) by (former) Welsh Defence League and (current) South Wales NF organiser David Powell

Not sure who the guy in the middle is, but, FYI, the guy on the right (wearing the Nazi "Blood & Honour" t-shirt) has been previously identified as NF candidate Adam Lloyd -

complete rubbish about targetszone

Firstly, we are not fascists neither are we a new company. We have been trading in Oasis for nearly 2 years now, on line for about 5 years. We are an army surplus/airsoft and field sports equipment suppliers. Airsoft one of our main lines of trade is a simulated war game much like paintball. It normally consists of 2 teams who dress up in different uniforms to oppose each other. They use pyrotecnics (pretend grenades)sometimes they wear yep you have guessed it Nazi t shirts, The baddies Booooo! We have also sold a lot of these to theatre companies bikers. etc.. Of couse there is an element of these that are fascists, but on the whole most of them are just rebels sticking 2 fingers up to society. Of course there is an element of fascists that buy our shirts, but does that really make us pro fascist? You failed to highlite the scissors beat paper t shirt which ridicules fascim and is still available on our site.
As for the Infidel t shirts. we were selling them before the Edl came into existance. the Taliban refer to muslim non believers as Kufar. That is all it means pure and simple Non believer. The British squaddie having the humour that they have adopted this and said fine, if that's what there calling us, so be it and started wearing these shirts and having tattoos done to the same effect. the EDL adopted this for their own purpose. Again does that make us pro EDL ? squaddies still buy these should i tell them sorry, but there is a few university guys that are upset by it all so you can't have them anymore. This all started which i know now to have been a couple of university guys coming into my shop, looking around and then asking me if I could supply them with nazi t shirts? I explained I had a few outside, but that if they wanted anything with eagles and swastikas on them i would have to order them in. They were available on our website, but not in stock. one of them commented on the skull one being the same as combat 18. As they left the shop I thought they were a pair of plonkers.Turns out I was right only not in the way I first thought. they put 2 and 2 together and came up with106. So please get a grip....
