Southwark council says leaflets are attempt to scare residents with baseless conspiracy theory claims
Piers Corbyn, the climate change sceptic and brother of the former Labour leader, is facing a police investigation over leaflets likening Covid-19 vaccination efforts to the concentration camp at Auschwitz.
The leaflets were described by a London council as an attempt to play on the fears of some residents, particularly people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds who are among those most at risk from Covid-19. They feature a sketch of the entrance to Auschwitz in which the gates’ infamous slogan “Arbeit macht frei” (Work sets you free) has been changed to read “Vaccines are safe path to freedom”.
