London council apologises after KKK image uses Millwall badge
Westminster City Council apologises after a racism education pamphlet used Millwall's badge on an illustration of a Ku Klux Klan member, with Millwall considering legal action.
Westminster City Council has apologised after a racism education pamphlet used Millwall's badge on an illustration of a Ku Klux Klan member. The image appeared in materials designed for schoolchildren, raising concerns about how branding can be linked to extremist imagery.
Millwall Football Club said it is considering legal action over the use of its emblem in the illustration, arguing the incident risks damaging the club's reputation and fan base.
The incident has drawn attention to the checks and processes behind public materials and branding, with calls for clearer guidelines to prevent similar errors in the future.
Officials say the council is reviewing how the material was produced and approved, and will take steps to ensure proper vetting moving forward.
