Wade in to things like this,  add a bit more divide and conquer, smokescreen from the real issues that they have created. Don't get drawn into it. It really doesn't matter in the scheme of things.  I think both shirts happen to look really nice. Pricing ludicrous though but people must choose to buy if they set that amount.

Is the bullshit culture war a ploy to distract from the price? Have to admit, I've no idea how much the previous shirts cost. We're they a similarly ludicrous price to this latest effort? Ridiculous for a bit of polyester knocked together in some factory in the far east.

People have the power to challenge these big corporations that exploit us in the name of capitalism. But we're so vain and gullible that the second we see a shiny new thing, we have to have it and will pay far more than It's worth just so as not to miss out. If everybody who thinks that's overpriced, which is everybody, didn't buy this, then the price would come down to something reasonable. But we're too stupid and lazy to do anything about it.

Little Englanders with a British bulldog and cross of St George tattoo. Makes a nice distraction for the beleaguered right wing press whose party couldn't win an egg and spoon race right now. Personally, I'm more offended by poverty levels being the worst for 30 years, but let's move that swiftly to the back pages.
