STALLHOLDERS have been urged to remove a “highly offensive” Nazi doll being sold alongside children’s toys.

A senior Jewish figure, a local councillor and a shopper said the doll, which appears to be doing a salute and is bearing a swastika, was “unacceptable” and “unwelcoming”.

The children’s toy was spotted at a stall in one of the indoor sections inthe Barras complex in Glasgow. 

Paul Morron, president of the Glasgow Jewish Representative Council, said: “Is there a place for this in Glasgow? No. 

“It’s an affront to decency. It’s just not acceptable.” 

Councillor Greg Hepburn, SNP councillor for the Calton ward, said: “I can definitely see why this toy is considered offensive. It’s completely inappropriate and I doubt that it would have been acceptable in the 60s or 70s, never mind 2016.”

Stall owner Andrew Randall said he bought the doll in a box with other items and did not intend to offend anyone. 

He said: “I just put it in a box full of scary toys. I’ve never had anyone complaining to me about it and it’s out in broad daylight. “If I thought it was majorly offensive I would take it off but To me it’s just a curiosity. I’m not out there to upset anyone. My stall is full of curiosities, I’m sure there are other things which would offend people on it as well”
