Fuss over UKIP's posters has played into their hands

UKIP unveiled its £1M worth of billboard posters yesterday. They were immediately branded as "racist" by Labour politicians and questioned about this by the media. This played into UKIP's hands - they got far more media coverage than if they hadn't been criticised.

I would not have called the posters that I have seen, like this one:


racist.

They are unfairly anti-immigrant and in very poor taste, but I don't think they are racist in the normal sense of the word.
