Caricature posters portray Jews as ‘Labour’s monsters’

Scotland Yard is investigating election posters in Tower Hamlets after a complaint that they stirred up racial hatred of Jews.

The posters depicted a “monstrous characterisation” of a religious Jewish man in military uniform, with the text “Labour’s monsters”.

According to a report submitted to the Metropolitan Police, this was an alleged breach of the Public Order Act, because the image was “selected to appear menacing”.
