'Go home' ads deemed inoffensive

A Home Office campaign urging illegal immigrants to "go home" has been banned for using misleading arrest statistics, but cleared over complaints that it was offensive and irresponsible.

The campaign, which involved poster-clad vans driving through six London boroughs between July 22 and July 28, drew 224 complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), including some from groups representing migrants in the UK, legal academics and the Labour peer Lord Lipsey.
