Sorry, but this is too good to miss! Found this awesome Gordon Brown t-shirt (http://www.8ball.co.uk/tshirt/3/51840/T-Shirts/Political-T-Shirts/Gordon-Bennett-girls-t-shirt/) . I've just bought one for me and one for my mate. Lol. Had a look round the site too, very cool stuff there. www.8ball.co.uk (http://www.8ball.co.uk/)

I dunno I think you could look pretty sharp in a Boris Johnson shirt...

But no lol, I'm not a fan of political fashion. It gets outdated quickly (or in the case of Ché t-shirts, was never cool to start with but persists among 13 year olds) and quite often people wearing it don't have a clue about the causes behind it

Political fashion in the US Election was very 'in', but because the UK is a small country (and the US is damn massive), the election in the UK won't get as much attention.

In other words, you'd look a pillick in a Boris Johnson T-shirt, or any other political figure for that matter. Wear an Obama T-shirt now and you're just fail, cuz its old news. The only people that can get away with political fashion will be celebs, when they're wearing it it's fine to wear it, but when they're not you're considered 'out of the loop'.

Reason being Celebs can get away with it, is because if Celebs care about an Election then a fashion following will soon follow (Celebs would want to show their support), and if you want an example then the US Election 08 is a great one.

You'd look like one of those people who put a Liberal Democrat/Labour/Conservative sign out their house, I have to go through a town on the bus every Sunday and its FULL of Lib Dem signs. Funnily enough, it's only old people who seem to put up any form of government signage.

EDIT: Only Politishirt I'd wear would be:

Even then though, the color is sorta rank and you can get better t-shirts for Che Guevara.

OMG LOL THE ONLY AMERICAN APPAREL THING THEY'VE GOT IS A JERSEY, EPIC LOL.

No offence but you could have gotten way better political t-shirts for that price. £32.00 waste of money. It's like £32.00 chucked into the bin.

Just out of interest what's the actual deal with Ché shirts? He wasn't some great freedom fighter, he wasn't even Cuban - he helped the Cubans out because he was a mercenary. If the Americans had gotten to him first and paid him to fight Cuba he'd have done that, but they figured what with having a massive army that would be unnecessary.

Yeah, I agree :S
I've seen people wearing Ché bandanas and such who don't even know who he is...

I think it just elevated from Cuba because of him being an icon there (even if he was Bolivian)... and being one of the few to stand up to the americans and helped Fiedel Castro take power. The photo itself apparently shows him 'looking to the future'. I do see where you are coming from though... it's amazing how it has become such a famous image. When I was in Cuba, Brazil and Venezuela there is literally no escaping it. I literally saw that photo every half an hour.
