Possible contentious poster launched by the Remain Campaign to galvanise the black vote

It is saying, register to vote or the fellow on the other end of the see saw will have his say over yours.

If it was a young person against an aggressive pensioner that would be the same message.

So it's more than just 'register to vote' there's a subliminal message saying ...or.....

It's saying that, and a little bit more, to those it's directed at. Perhaps you have to be living their life to understand it. Maybe they see the meaning immediately.

I think what it's saying is perfectly clear: it doesn't matter who you are or with what demographic or political group you identify, your vote is equal to anyone else's. So make sure you're registered.

Simple.

Saatchi and Saatchi have done some odd stuff in the past, they like to be talked about
And we are talking .

No! There's nothing to complain about. Unless the racist yobs don't like it. And they can stuff it can't they?

Already wrote what I think, but it is perhaps meant to be a bit on the ambiguous side, so that nobody can complain about it.

Whatever it is supposed to portray, I think that Saatchi and Saatchi have got it badly wrong.

The fact that we are not clear about what it is supposed to portray proves that.

But they won't care as they watch their millions pile up in the bank.

Probably. Always supposing she sees it. Not sure where it is going to put up.

It's quite a clever poster. After all it is by Saatchi. But I don't think the old lady herself would 'get it'. So perhaps money wasted.

Yes jing it is all about getting out the black vote. Nothing about how to vote.

Righto-o roses.

Let's hear your explanation of the poster.

Shows how we see differing things eh?

sorry!

I think people like that old lady probably get their confidence knocked a lot by racists in some parts of the country. They probably think it's best to keep themselves to themselves.

In your view Jingl the OP has it wrong, but in my book the OP has it right.

Yep I agree with you jing There is always a problem getting the black vote out, this is an attempt at mitigating that.

The OP has got it completely wrong. (sorry)

It's certainly nothing to do with 'in' or 'out'. Just, vote.

It's supposed to be telling 'ethnic' groups that their vote is as important as anyone else's. I can see that. I guess it means, 'don't be put off by the usual bad behaviour you get from yobbish types in your everyday life'. Very sad really. And the message doesn't exactly jump out at you.

There is a message there and I see what the OP was getting at.

dd anecdotes may not be 'evidence' ( who said they were?) but they are real and happened as you know to your cost as do I.
It may not be a remain poster, but sure sounds like it, otherwise, what the hell is it saying, and for what exactly? If it was only to get black people to vote ( how patronising) btw they would not have made it of a skinhead threatening an old Asian lady, so of course it was meant to represent a remain poster ( no matter what they say!)
has anyone here actually seen a skinhead for years.... Apart from in other countries in Europe.

It's obviously saying different things to different people.

this is the poster

I can't understand just what it is supposed to be saying.

@rosesarered By coincidence, I was called a 'dirty f***ing c**t@ and physically assaulted just two weeks ago...by my white England flag flying neighbour! He regularly swears at delivery drivers and told one to 'f**k off back to where he came from'.

The police are involved, so I won't say any more, but anecdotes aren't really evidence.

@rosesarered This isn't a Remain poster! There is nothing on the poster nor, as far as I can see, on OBV's website to encourage people to vote one way or the other.

It's a poster designed to get black and minority voters to register to vote. At the moment, there is evidence that many of them aren't registered. Who knows which way they'll vote?
