Backlash time after his ‘back of the queue’ threat
Brexit campaigners have ridiculed Barack Obama for threatening the UK with a backlash if it quits the EU.
A new attack ad by the Grassroots Out campaign hits back at the US President’s warning that Britain would go to ‘the back of the queue’ in trade talks outside the European Union.
With just over three weeks to go to the EU referendum, the campaign placed full-page adverts in 21 regional newspapers on Tuesday.
The ad, which plays on the original ‘Hope’ poster that helped get Obama first elected in 2008, is designed to seize on Britons’ anger at being told how to vote by a politician from overseas.
Its final pay-off line is: “Don’t Be Bullied By Barack”.
Value is the only commonality in an increasingly complex, challenging and interdependent world.
