The Home Office has sent a number of vans around London with slogans telling illegal immigrants to either go home or face arrest. Various people have complained that this is racist or, at least, will 'stir up racial hatred' and now the Advertising Standards' Authority (ASA) is investigating.
Exactly what this can possibly have to do with the ASA is a mystery to me. Why telling law-breakers to either desist from their law breaking or face being arrested should be unacceptable is also a mystery. Burglars, muggers and even motorists are regularly targeted by campaigns aimed at either preventing their behaviour or catching them; what is so different about illegal immigrants ?
As far as I'm concerned, the sooner the hordes of illegal immigrants in this country leave, whether voluntarily or by compulsion, the better. If this campaign encourages some of them to bugger off of their own accord, all well and good, and they can take the wishy-washy liberal whingers with them, too.
