Quote:
Swastikas carved into a county council building have been branded "potentially offensive and upsetting" by someone demanding to know why they are there.
The carvings on Chelmsford's County Hall, built between 1928 and 1939, were made shortly before World War Two.
But a member of the public has lodged a Freedom of Information request asking why it "was still commissioned given the symbol's negative connotations".

Swastika building question put to Essex County Council
I was last in the US in 2004 and stopped off in Thermopolis, Wyoming, where this building caught my eye.
Of course, the Swastika was around long before Uncle Adolf and his band of scamps, but the design does tend to draw attention to itself, doesn't it?
