A group campaigning for Britain to leave the European Union urged voters on Monday to back a British exit from the EU, or "Brexit", to prevent what it called "an Orlando-style atrocity", a message condemned by rival campaigners.
Posted on the @leaveeuofficial Twitter account run by Leave.EU, a day after 50 people were killed in the Florida shootings, the poster-style advertisement said: "Islamist extremism is a real threat to our way of life. Act now before we see an Orlando-style atrocity here before too long".
It accompanied a Tweet saying: "The free movement of Kalashnikovs in Europe helps terrorists. Vote for greater security on June 23. Vote #Leave."
Both sides have stepped up campaigning before a June 23 referendum on Britain's EU membership, keen to break a deadlock in opinion polls which suggest that voters are all but evenly split. With less than two weeks to go, many lawmakers and voters have criticized the often bitter campaign.
