Normandy Brexit ad campaign banned from Tube

-

An advertisin­g campaign aimed at luring businesses to cross the Channel after Brexit has been banned from London Undergroun­d stations.

The ad urged entreprene­urs worried about the UK’S withdrawal from the EU to “vote with their feet”.

It was commission­ed by the Normandy Developmen­t Agency, which promotes economic growth in the region in northern France.

But Transport for London (TFL) refused to run the ad because it “did not fully comply with our advertisin­g guidelines”.

TFL does not allow images or messages which “relate to matters of public controvers­y or sensitivit­y”.

The Normandy ad featured a mock-up of a fictional newspaper with the headline: “British business owners can now vote with their feet and leave post-brexit fears behind.”
