UK Govt considering campaign to scare people off moving here
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/jan/28/migrants-britain-rubbish-posters
Britain: it's rubbish. Don't come here. Move to Italy or Germany instead, the weather's much nicer and the transport infrastructure isn't on the verge of collapse.
It may sound like a spoof, but ministers are considering launching a negative advertising campaign in Bulgaria and Romania to try to convince would-be immigrants to stay away from the UK.
A report over the weekend quoted one minister saying that such a negative advert would "correct the impression that the streets here are paved with gold" ....
Readers' suggestions include:
One for Big Dog:
BBC Radio 4's "PM" take (audio)
Of course, since it's mainly panic at the thought of billions of Romanians and Bulgarians "inundating" the country, so here is a cunning one - the UK sinking under floods
