Reminiscent of all that stuff about the alleged Neo-Nazi sympathiser who opened a vegan place in Camden. That all seems to have died down, although perhaps it hasn't and I just haven't been paying attention.

I'm honestly not sure how it took so long for it all to come out. Temple's been open for a reasonably long time and he's a fairly well known tattoo artist. I know that a lot of tattoo artists flirt with dodgy imagery (plenty of swastikas knocking about, unconvincingly explained away as symbols pre-dating the Nazis) but there are some symbols he's used that are explicitly Nazi and don't really have any other meaning as far as I can tell.

In case anyone visits Leeds and thought about visiting Temple Donuts. Maybe don't, it turns out one of the owners is a very sketchy bloke who, at best, has a strange obsession with nazi imagery and at worst, is a full blown white supremacist. It all came to light when a former employee spoke out about racist abuse towards them being swept under the rug by management.
They've deleted all of their social media accounts but somebody was thoughtful enough to set them up a new Instagram account to keep track of all of their bad behaviour. Here's a link. CW: racism, abuse.
