| Outrage over ads depicting Blair as Hitler |
|
Advertisements [?]
Do pick up your own copy of the pic.
Tony Blair is being compared to Hitler in an advertising campaign against ID cards. The advert - sponsored by the Lib-Dem party and Labour MP Diane Abbott, and supported by Blur's Damon Albarn - is running in newspapers and on billboards and shows a photo of the Prime Minister with a barcode on his lip like the Nazi leader's moustache. The caption reads: "ID cards have worked well in Europe before." Campaign group NO2ID is behind the advert. It said today: "Blair is not Hitler. But he is building the tools of totalitarianism." Labour's Lord Janner, a leading Jewish parliamentarian, said the advert was "monstrous". He said: "Hitler was a mass murderer and to make any comparison between him and Tony Blair is stupid and unacceptable."  Daily Mail |
