Description
This is a poster produced by "Global Justice Now." The title of the poster is 'This is Not Just Ordinary, Hate and Racism This is M&S Funded Hate and Racism' showing tabloid Daily Mail headlines with racist and anti-migrant rhetoric such as "Migrant 'swarm' on our streets." This is campaigning for M&S (the supermarket) to stop its special offers and advertising deals with the Daily Mail. Global Justice Now state "TIME TO STOP FUNDING THE DAILY MAIL Hate-filled media stories are contributing to a violent culture towards migrants, refugees and anyone else that the media says are not welcome here. A recent United Nations report singled out the UKâs media as being âuniquely aggressive in its campaigns against refugees and migrants.â The Daily Mail constantly portrays migrants negatively, only ever seeing them as a problem and never as human beings who
can enrich the societies where they relocate. Violent hate crime has risen in recent months, so we need to stand up to the parts of the media that are helping to normalise racist and xenophobic attitudes. That means challenging the Daily Mail."
