UK’s EU vote: Cameron warns ‘leave’ leader wants to divide

As the campaign to decide Britain’s European Union membership restarted after a three-day hiatus following the killing of lawmaker Jo Cox, Trump, the presumptive Republican US presidential candidate, said in a newspaper interview he was backing an “out” vote.

She called on Leave campaigners more widely to stop using anti-immigrant posters and said: “I think it was extremely ill judged of him to call himself a victim, today”.

He said there was a distinction to be made between addressing legitimate concerns about migration and “whipping up division” or “putting up that “disgusting and vile poster that Nigel Farage did, which had echoes of literature used in the 1930s”.

THE campaign to decide Britain’s membership of the European Union restarted yesterday after a three-day hiatus following the killing of lawmaker Jo Cox, with Prime Minister David Cameron warning Britons they faced an “existential choice” on Thursday.

Campaigners on the Leave side have been equally scathing, with Justice Secretary Michael Gove saying he “shuddered” when he saw the poster and Chris Grayling calling it “wrong”.

Shocked Labour MP Yvette Cooper said Mr Farage’s response was “incredibly depressing”.

“I don’t like it”.

“We will be talking about this referendum long after all of our political careers are over, and that’s why we must focus on the really big issues”.

“Not only are these assertions unfounded, but they fail to recognise the positive, life-affirming contributions that generations of refugees have made to British society – and that we ourselves are changed by welcoming the stranger”.

“Frankly if you believe, as I believe, that we should open our hearts to genuine refugees that’s one thing”.

“People should vote for democracy and Britain should vote for hope”, he said.

“And yeah, they may be coming from countries that are not in a very happy state”.

Mr Farage replied: “That’s the point isn’t it”.

“The point of that poster was to say that Europe isn’t working”, he told Pienaar’s Politics on BBC Radio 5 live, adding: “Something that’s true can’t be a scare”.

He said: “I am pro-migration but I believe that the way in which we secure public support for the continued benefits that migration brings and the way in which we secure public support for helping refugees in need is if people feel they can control the numbers overall coming here”.

When Mr Farage was asked if he wished he hadn’t unveiled the poster, he replied: “I wish an innocent Member of Parliament hadn’t been gunned down on the street”.

The Ukip leader dismissed suggestions that the poster was racist, b ut Mr Prentis labelled it a “blatant attempt to incite racial hatred”.

“It’s perfectly reasonable to disagree about the arguments, but I think it is just not OK to question the motives of people who may take that view”, said Mr Hilton.
