Mapping the unfolding controversy of Home Office immigration campaigns
In July 2013, the UK Home Office launched a series of high-profile initiatives aimed at directing public attention to what the government was doing to control ‘illegal immigration’. The most controversial of these was a billboard which asked ‘In the UK illegally? Go home or face arrest’, which was mounted on a van driven around London boroughs. Our research project is about studying the impact and implications of these initiatives.
We have also been interested in the responses of activists to them, including ongoing developments as the research takes place between 2013 and June 2015.
This briefing highlights our findings so far, but it is not the end of our research. We would like to know what you think about our findings, to help us to add to our understanding. If you would like to tell us your views, you can email
