The boy in the clip is Nigel Bowles. Everyone called him Stan, after the 70s footballer. We were good friends. He was never far-right, nor rich - just a kid who collected militaria. Stan was a really sweet guy, great fun, brilliant to grow up with, grew to love music (Motorhead (Lemmy was another collector), The Damned, Hawkwind, Ramones, etc.) and played bass in a few bands. He was killed in a bike accident at the age of 28. He would have been 59 this year. Much missed. RIP: Stan
You may or may not know that the swastika was actually a good luck symbol that apparently was used by the ancient Greeks, Anglo Saxons and the ancient Indians many years before the Nazi's stole the symbol to put on their flags,etc.....amazing eh.
I went to Swap Shop when it came to Priory Park in Southend. I took along a skateboard, and elbow and knee pads. I walked around looking for something to swap them for. By the end of the session I was desperate to go home being able to say I'd done the swap and ended up going home with 2 shit Showaddywaddy albums. I was gutted 😂
Kids seemed more intelligent back then, and much more polite and respectful. I'm sure part of the reason is that they weren't staring at phones all day, oblivious to everything around them.
I'm just grateful for this obsession with the Nazis as I'm a big Stalin fan and it probably wouldn't be nearly so easy to revel in my nostalgia for the butchering of the Tsar and his children, the committing of genocide against twelve ethnic minorities, the liquidation of the Kulaks, maintaining a society controlled by mass paranoia and denunciation etc....people really can be so judgemental.
speaking as the Grandson of a Polish woman who saw quite a bit of 'those people' i dont mind seeing it, brushing this stuff under the carpet pretending it didnt exist would be wrong to me. plus as someone else said it wasnt their symbol to begin with, they just nicked it. As for swap shop, i feel like i would have preferred tiswas but others in the house preferred swap shop so i lost out lol
Do you know, I think I remember this! Anything military always has interested me, especially anything to do with the Nazis, such was their inherent evil which was so difficult to comprehend, even in my old age. How wonderful to see the kid so thrilled he was sharing his hobby with millions of others, even if the subject matter, herein, is too shocking for contemporary society's delicate sensibilities, now with a national demographic seemingly made up of hair-triggered theatrical types. 😉
I used to change the channel over to Tiswas when my dad went to make a cup of tea. He'd come back, watch it for a few minutes, and then go "Is this ITV?!"
Clip is really mid-titled; maybe instead of Nazi flag on… a more fitting title would have been Kid shows off war time collection of memorabilia to Noel Edmonds on Swap Shop
Who was that woman who doesn't know anything? 😂 Noel Edmunds didn't start his career on Swap shop he was on Radio 1 before Swap shop and radio Luxembourg before that.
Unusual and something you wouldn't see now, but maybe the young lad had a grandfather who took these things home from the war when he invaded Germany. Unless the kid was a wannabe leader of the National Front.
Could you imagine the Woke Brigade if this happened today ? They would demand the BBC apologises and sack the presenter; the child's parents reported to the police, and the boy to attend diversity training for the next year.
With a moron being interviewed saying it was where Noel Edmonds started his career. Possibly his TV career but he had been the BBC Radio 1 breakfast show DJ. You didn't get that gig then by being a fashionable non entity.
Having an interest in WW2 and collecting memorabilia from that period is fine. I watched a TV documentary tge other day and it had footage of Hitler on it, does that make me bad?

I watched all three hours of Swap Shop religiously every week, loved it.
Punk rockers quite liked the nazi flag as well. Anyways it was different times and people didn’t get all lathered up about nonsense back then.
And yet, Punk was, in fact, about getting lathered up in nonsense since day one. The Dead Kennedys made "Nazi Punks F*** Off" for a reason.
A young lad with an interest in ww2 memorabilia.
Not so mad really 30 odd years after the war ended tbf.
That and there was no internet. No self obsession on instagram, no fake news on Facebook, just good old fashioned bbc propaganda.

they had more Nazi memorabilia by the looks of things, too.
So, you know... swings and roundabouts.

Isn't all TV middle class?
The Nazi swastika emblem was a old emblem of peace stolen by the Nazis.
So insightful.

Actually tiswas viewers were always at best outnumbered 4-1 by Swap Shop viewers.
But Tiswas was way cooler. Those in the minority according to you knew where it was at.
I used to change the channel over to Tiswas when my dad went to make a cup of tea. He'd come back, watch it for a few minutes, and then go "Is this ITV?!"
Tiswas wasn't available nationwide so it was Swap Shop or nothing.
@@eclectica1 TISWAS was more for hungover parents lol, kids on the show were mocked or ignored. Swap Shop was better for the thinking kid tbf.

Noel Edmunds didn't start his career on Swap shop he was on Radio 1 before Swap shop and radio Luxembourg before that.
1:05 - this is infact the very first Tv appearance of Nick Griffin.
yes, im surprised she didnt tell us "you know swap shop was a little bit different to panorama"..duh, thanks for that.

Noel Edmonds was a riot and so fun to watch cuz he didn't talk to you like you were a 9year old, .... even tho you were!
@seanallansmommy S'funny, I saw your profile pic and realised what you meant but only after I'd replied - apologies! :o)
Thatcher was being interviewed next. They thought it appropriate
It was. A Labour MP spitting anti-semetic bile and lusting after 5 year odds now THAT would have been inappropriate.
Not really but don't worry about it.

Flag is fake
Middle class BBC crap. Tiswas pissed all over this.
You have a way with words.
I completely agree
