  1. “Just because we’re selling some German memorabilia from the 1930s doesn’t mean we’re Nazi supporters.
    If we’re selling a Manchester United shirt it doesn’t make us Manchester United supporters, thank God”.

    Classic.

  2. Well brittain invaded and took over more countries and caused more genocides and it still reigns to this day. No one bats an eyelid if you sell memorabilia from the monarchy. Infact the monarchy gets celebrated.

    Getting tired of nazi -a defeated ideology being constantly bashed online like its the main threat to goodness in the world.

  3. There’s some antique shops in Dublin between powerscourt shopping centre and Grafton Street that sell Nazi memorabilia as well too. Never seen them in the news for it.

  4. Listening to it on Drivetime yesterday, “So you’d sell this memorabilia to a Neo Nazi no problem?”. Journalist just looking for a one word soundbite rather than a decent discussion.

  5. No issue here. Nazi history deserves never to be forgotten for it is a lesson.

    Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

  6. Just looked at Mullan’s website. Auctioneers in Laurel Park Bray who are running this. It’s a real mixed bag auction and it’s for collectors across football, soccer, British army, NI conflict, early SF, civil war. There’s even an election poster saying “don’t let England pick your leader, vote for ……..,”

  7. Well it is historical. Why does he have to defend it? They’re just objects, they don’t possess magic powers

  8. I detested how Drivetime’s Cormac Ó hEadhra treated the auctioneer yesterday. Total set up.

  9. Well, I guess the suppliers of Nazi paraphernalia used for world war 2 movies better stop that too.

    Is it bad if I say I enjoyed watching Fury and saving private Ryan?

  10. Why are there so many people just bursting to be offended at something.

    Does Nazi stuff actually offend you? Like really offend YOU?

    Nobody in their right mind likes or condones what the Nazis did. But why get offended over a thing that existed at the same time?

    Like it nor not, Nazi’s did exist and so did Nazi stuff. If someone else is interested in Nazi things then, although its not to my taste, what difference does it make. Let them off.

  11. What’s the issue? Buying a part of history doesn’t mean you’re a Nazi. Destroying pieces of history though would come closer to Nazi sort of behaviour which is down alot with Nazi items.

    They should be allowed to be sold without being labeled as one for buying or selling.

    Just because I buy a fucking space suit it doesn’t mean I’m an astronaut.

  12. By the time these woke freaks are finished culturally cleansing this whole world will be devoid of anything controversial from history. Burn, destroy, rewrite, toss it in the local canal.. And then we will have learned from all our mistakes, never to fall victim to our inner evil beasts ever again. Give me strength 🤦🏻

  13. “You don’t have anything from the Allied side?”

    “No, no. That sort of thing wouldn’t interest me at all.”

  14. Hah you should walk around Madrid, you’d see plenty of fascist and Franco memorabilia.
