Metro spoof distributed in Nottingham

Several hundred copies of a Metro spoof, designed to highlight the problems of press reporting of migration issues, were distributed in Nottingham. This was part of the days of action against racist press.

The spoof paper ran with the headline 'Gordon Brown to be deported to Scotland' was critical of the media's coverage of migration issues and highlighted the role of private companies in enforcing borders. The real Metro weren't impressed and obtained a High Court injunction against distribution of the papers claiming that the paper "avowedly doesn’t take a political stance. The damage to the brand and goodwill [of the paper's owners] is unquantifiable".
