Nisha added: 'Just because the Klansman was black, doesn't make it okay, and it definitely doesn't justify the Nazi salute. It's not cool or edgy - It's is totally unacceptable in 2014.'
'As well as the deeply offensive costumes and blackface, one of them gave the Nazi salute. Defence: The Queen's Head's landlord defended the costumes, saying they were an 'absurdist joke'
