Make the Nazi Salute a Criminal Offence
Criminalise this offensive gesture
The UK is a modern, multi racial, multi faith, multi ethnic, country.
Fascism has no place in it.
Far Right groups use the Nazi salute to intimidate and antagonize.
It needs to be banned.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It is already a criminal offence to use threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, if this is intended to or likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Deciding whether to take action against an individual for the use threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, and deciding whether a particular act constitutes an offence, would be a matter for the police, Crown Prosecution Service and the courts, and not the Government or House of Commons.
