A MAJORITY of voters don’t believe a new Ukip poster campaign is ‘racist’ or ‘offensive and ignorant’, a poll has revealed.

Party leader Nigel Farage this week hit back at criticism of the new posters, which will be displayed at hundreds of billboard sites across the country.

Costing £1.5million, and funded by millionaire ex-Conservative donor Paul Sykes, the posters carry messages such as: “26 million people in Europe are looking for work. And whose jobs are they after?”

Earlier this week, Labour MP Mike Gapes branded them “racist”, while veteran Tory MP Nicholas Soames, the grandson of Winston Churchill, called the campaign “deeply divisive, offensive and ignorant.”

Speaking today, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg also claimed the posters were “based on false claims and fear”.

One of the posters, which shows a European Union flag underneath a burning Union flag, was also labelled “disrespectful and inappropriate” by Lord Dannatt, the former head of the British Army.

However, a new poll from YouGov reveals most British voters don’t share the criticism of the posters.

When asked whether they thought the advertising campaign was “racist”, 59 per cent disagreed, compared to 34 per cent who agreed.
