Sky History's The Chop axed while contestant's 'Nazi and white supremacist' tattoos investigated
news.sky.com
Viewers pointed out that several numbers inked on tattooed contestant Darren Lumsden appeared to have links to white supremacy.

SkyHistoryUK tweeted a (now deleted) promo for a show featuring a guy with straight up nazi tattoos on his face. Among them were 23/16 (WP), "homegrown", 14, and everyone's favorite 88.

When challenged on twitter, SkyHistoryUK said that their team did extensive background checking and the guy has no history or links to any unfavourable group, and that the "88" represented the year his father had died.

Welp they found his dad.

    I mean it wasn't just the 88, as you said it was also the "homegrown", 23/16, 14, and 111. Who the fuck is working at sky history UK?

    In its initial statement, Sky History had said "amongst the various numerical tattoos on (Mr Lumsden's) body, 1988 is the year of his father's death".

    But on Wednesday Mail Online claimed it had spoken to Mr Lumsden's father Trevor who told the website: "I'm alive and kicking so I'm not dead yet."
