I imagine many S*n and Daily Mail readers will be knocking one off over this year's choice of card...

If only they'd added a swastika to the top of the tree, it would have been perfect...

What is your beef with it, specifically?
It's crass and completely inappropriate as a "Christmas" Card of course. Season of Goodwill for all- apart from those pesky Johnny Foreigners kicked out of the country or denied entry, a few of whom who are invariably being sent back to their deaths. I hope they can at least see the irony of it and have a cynical laugh.
This. It seems a bit pointless and wasteful for agencies like this to be sending out cards, but if they're going to do it then I don't see why the card's that bad.
The text of the card is (if a little aggressive) all terribly laudable as long as one doesn't look too hard to find truly atrocious crimes against vulnerable people being committed in the name of good old Blighty.
A recent declaration by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health is a good place to start - http://www.rcpch.ac.uk/doc.aspx?id_Resource=5828
This isn't something you'll likely see on 'Border Cops'...
Totally agree. Waste of my taxes...
Also, it's certainly pandering to a certain perspective, although what else is their remit?
I feel like one of those cuddly creatures on the Dodge advert; "Its neither fuzzy nor wuzzy".
