The subtext May be xenophobic, but the ads are specifically about the wage gap between the UK and Turkey/Albania, and the explicit message is that you will lose your job, or wages will drop. That’s not xenophobic.
- noncoml 8y ago> you will lose your job, or wages will drop Which didn’t happen in any country so far nor in UK with the “invasion of the Polish” Albania, Macedonia and Montenegro population is negligible. Turkey will never get in EU. I respect the choice of the English people but the ads were pure scaremongering
- repolfx 8y agoI watched some vox pops on the Guardian during the campaign and there were quite a few testimonies from workers who stated specifically their wages had dropped due to competition from eastern European workers and in one case the guy could name the exact amount of the drop. So whilst you may believe nobody felt under wage pressure, that would be a rather odd belief given the basics of supply and demand, and it wouldn't match the beliefs of quite a few voters.
