The alleged "freedom of speech" you're defending in that poster, Nigel, was deliberately predicated on a lie. The people depicted in the photo used for that poster were in no way linked to the brexit argument for "getting back control of our borders," though that's how we were supposed to interpret the thing. And you know it. And the fact that the people depicted had dark skins seals the racist, demonising nature of the poster. You really do need to be very careful as to what you choose to defend, Nigel. Well, unless, of course, you subscribe to the Trumpist school of untrammelled "free speech..."
