The Christian Party has declared ‘poster war’ against the British National Party after the BNP launched an election poster with a depiction of Jesus and a scripture from the Gospel of John.
The BNP launched the poster campaign in an attempt to attract Christian voters.
The Christian Party campaign has started with four electronic digital billboards in London’s Oxford Street featuring an Easter message and poster declaring: “Britain is a Christian Country. Vote to keep it that way!”
The Oxford Street digital posters will be accompanied by a massive leaflet campaign. Billboard sites have also been booked on major motorways across the country ahead of the Easter Bank Holiday, including the M1, M25, M11 and A127.
Rev George Hargreaves, leader of the Christian Party said: “We are prepared to take on the BNP. It would be a tragedy if Britain stepped back into the darkness of racism, particularly as the world celebrates a black man in White House. The BNP are dangerous wolves in sheep’s clothing. They must be stopped."
Last month, The Christian Party launched a two week bus poster campaign in response to the Humanist Society’s ‘There probably is no God. So stop worrying and enjoy your life’ bus advertisement. The CP advert, carried on 50 buses around the capital, said: “There definitely is a God. So join the Christian Party and enjoy your life”.
