Is the Brexit refugee poster offensive?

NIGEL FARAGE’S poster of hundreds of immigrants is not racist in any way. Michael Gove may have shuddered at it, but the issue is that everyone is called racist if they bring up the subject of immigration. The poster shows mainly fit-looking young men — not what we think of as refugees. It’s time people realised we can’t take everyone who wants to come here regardless of their circumstances and we need to have a limit.

ALLAN WHITE, Lurgan, Co. Armagh. AS AN NHS manager and doctor, I don’t see what Nigel Farage sees in this queue. I see the doctors, nurses and carers who keep our health service afloat and our ageing population cared for. WENDY ANDERSON, Bangor, Co. Down. ANOTHER election poster also showed a long line of people with the headline: ‘Labour isn’t working.’ The Tories did very well out of that during the 1979 General Election.

BRIAN LYNCH, Brentwood, Essex. I AM baffled: it’s OK to talk about immigration these days, but not OK to show pictures of it.

M. F. MORLEY, Aston, Oxon. BARONESS Warsi has switched sides in the referendum debate. This is not over weighty matters such as the economy or immigration, on which she must have made her original decision, but on a distasteful poster and comments about Turkey. Was she ever in the Leave camp, has she a feeble mind or has she been made an offer she couldn’t refuse?

TOM GARTLAND, Addlestone, Surrey. SOME some people might find the poster distasteful, even repugnant, but it’s a real photograph, not contrived like the Saatchi & Saatchi election billboard that pretended to be a queue of the unemployed.
