    While that’s an important parable, it’s not really relevant to this article. The parable is about not letting the intolerant (whether neonazis or whoever) into your space because they’ll ruin it, the article is about a (seemingly!) normal pub that has lots of bits and bobs including a Nazi armband. There’s no mention of actual neonazis gathering there, and the only ones who seem to be going in that direction are whichever “libertarian” knobs wrote the original post (who I’ll bet have never set foot there either!)

    Seems like a classic internet overreaction from everyone involved to me. There’s a big difference between your collection being that one from Father Ted (alternate link) and just having a piece of history on display which (seemingly!) nobody is trying to glorify. I would naively hope that people old enough to be drinking in a pub are mature enough to understand the difference.
