>Landlord of The Six Bells, in Northfleet, Dan Pike has been forced to deny they are neo-Nazis after a rogue member of staff hid codes linked to right-wing extremism in a chalkboard sign promoting a bingo event
>He received an email informing him the sign for its ‘Bingo and Boogie’ event on Saturday (November 8) contained numerical codes used by neo-Nazis and was being shared widely online.
>The chalkboard, which had been written by another member of staff, included drawings of three balls with the numbers 88, 18 and 14.
>The digits are linked with neo-Nazis, with 88 standing for Heil Hitler, 18 for Adolf Hitler and 14 being the shorthand for a white supremacist slogan, Fourteen Words in reference to slogans originated by the convicted American terrorist David Eden Lane.
>The landlord explained he immediately rubbed the sign out and spoke to the staff member, who “admitted full responsibility” and now no longer works at the public house in Old Perry Street,
