To Paddy Power CEO, Andy McCue:

As compassionate UK citizens, we call on you to remove the offensive "jump in the back" lorry ad immediately and issue a public apology. This is a national disgrace.

Paddy Power's epic fail
Betting firm Paddy Power has deployed lorry inviting immigrants to 'jump in the back' but only if they're 'good at sport --using the migrant crisis to promote itself! As desperate people face appalling conditions camped at Calais in the hope of making it to the UK and hundreds risk their lives at sea - it is absolutely appalling that anyone would poke fun at them for profit! There is nothing funny about misery and desperation. Sign the petition now calling on Paddy Power to pull the ad and make a public apology.
