Farage denies the poster is racist, and says fear of immigration was and continues to be a legitimate and powerful concern of people in the U.K. Late in the EU referendum campaign, Farage unveiled a giant poster widely criticized as xenophobic. It featured a stream of refugees crossing a land border in the Balkans, with the headline "Breaking Point." Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer and Remain campaigner George Osborne compared the poster to "Nazi propaganda." - - - You get in bed with racists, and you become part of them. You campaign with racists without calling out their racism and lies, you are no better than they are. This isn't rocket science. It's lying racist monsters. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
