The ten cross-party MPs have signed a motion in the Commons calling for Citroen's “Unmistakeably German” ad campaign to be pulled, describing it as “counterproductive”.

According to the Brand Republic website, the advert, which describes the car as “more German than the Germans”, features a series of symbols that the MPs consider offensive.

The motion argues that an eagle statue in the ad resembled the Nazi emblem and that the commercial's style, reminiscent of the 1930s, draws parallels with Nazi propaganda films.

Scottish Nationalist Party MP Angus Robertson tabled the motion.

Citroen defended the advert, saying it had been cleared for broadcast and is “humorous and fun”.
