‘Racist’ posters and leaflets advertising non-existent auditions for TV show Britain’s Got Talent have caught the eye of the show’s actual producers – who claim that the printers of such material have infringed their copyright.
The news comes after the offensive posters – which invite ‘immigrant talent’ to take part in a ‘post-Brexit’ special of the show, were spotted in and around Bristol.
Thought to have been plastered across the city by ‘racist’ extremists, the leaflets and posters reportedly read: “If you are an immigrant, no matter how big or small, and have a talent that you would like to share, then we would love to see you!
“In this post Brexit Special, we are searching for someone with the talent to unite a nation in front of its television screens, for a chance to win a full UK citizenship.
“Prove your talent! Earn your stay! Entertain us! Or leave today!”
Enraged producers from Thames TV have announced that they intend to hunt down the hate-mongering printers of the posters, which advertise a bogus audition in Bristol on Saturday 27 August, and a non-existent email address.
Commenting on the posters, a spokesperson for Thames TV said: “This leaflet is clearly a fake and has nothing to do with Britain’s Got Talent or Thames TV, nor does it represent any of our views.
“We take the unauthorised use of our brand and copyright seriously and will act accordingly against any infringement.”
