The British Jewish newspaper Jewish News, a partner publication of The Times of Israel, reports that three billboards appeared on trucks outside Labour Party headquarters this morning as part of a campaign to remind the party of action it must take to tackle anti-Semitism.
Inspired by Oscar-nominated film ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ the initiative was launched by Jewish activists, who call themselves the ‘Community United against Labour Party Antisemitism,’ or Culpa.
They raised thousands of pounds in a crowdfunding campaign involving 130 donors, with adverts appearing around Westminster between 8am and 4pm today.
The ads were driven on a route including Victoria Street, where the party’s headquarters are located, as well as past Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge, Lambeth Palace Road, York Road, Belvedere Road, Millbank, Lambeth Bridge, Whitehall, Strand, and Waterloo Bridge.
The three billboards carry the messages: “Holocaust deniers harboured by Labour,” “Failure to act on antisemitism” and “Institutional antisemitism in Corbyn’s Labour.”
