The Home Office are trying to encourage illegal immigrants to leave by putting information on how to leave on a truck and driving it around some streets of London. It also features a few politically arousing phrases to help the right wingers feel like the government are doing something. So far, so good, but now it appears that the advertising standards agency have stepped in and are 'investigating' to see if it breaks any advertising rules. How very odd. I can't for one minute see why this should be classified as advertising, although I must admit I am not an expert in the matter (or any other matter come to that), but common sense tells me that advising people to stick to the law i.e. don't be in this country unless you are allowed to be, cannot be advertising can it? In the same way that a 'No Left Turn' sign is not advertising.
How very odd.
