Fascism is cured by reading.
In 1936, as Franco's generals took Spain, the philosopher Miguel de Unamuno stood up in a hall full of fascists at the University of Salamanca and told them their creed could not win, because to convince you have to persuade, and to persuade you need something they lacked entirely: reason. He was placed under house arrest and dead within weeks. The line survived him.
Ninety years on, the cure hasn't changed. Fascism still depends on people not checking. It falls apart in front of a library card.
Fascism is cured by reading.
This is the shirt for anyone whose response to a strongman is a footnote. It also makes a pointed gift for teachers, librarians and the friend who annotates everything.
The front print says it plainly. Printed in Europe on a unisex Bella and Canvas 3001 tee using direct to garment printing that stays soft and won't crack or peel. The fabric is 100% combed and ring-spun cotton at 142 g/m² with shoulder-to-shoulder taping, side seams and a pre-shrunk regular fit that suits everyone. Available in White, Yellow, Black, Navy and Red.

About Very Brexit Problems
VBP started in 2016, on the day the country voted to make itself poorer and called it sovereignty. What began as a way of coping became a community of hundreds of thousands who never stopped believing Britain belongs in Europe. Every design starts the same way: something absurd happens, somebody has to say so, and a t-shirt says it longer than a tweet does. Mocking the con since 2016.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you ship?
We ship across the UK, Europe and worldwide. UK shipping is free.
How long does delivery take?
We ship all orders within 3 to 5 business days, with a tracking link sent as soon as your order ships. UK delivery is free.
What if the size doesn't fit?
Get in touch and we'll sort it out. Check the size guide above before ordering if you're unsure.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash cold and inside out, then tumble dry low or hang to dry. The print stays sharp for years that way.
Is it ethically made?
Every item is printed to order using DTG technology on OEKO-TEX certified blanks, so nothing is mass produced and left in a warehouse.
The shirt itself
This is not a novelty shirt that goes stiff and sad after one wash. The design is printed straight into the fabric, so it stays soft and won't crack, peel or fade the way a pressed-on transfer does. The blanks are OEKO-TEX certified, tested free from harmful substances. Every shirt is printed to order rather than mass produced, so what arrives was made for you and built to outlast every regime that ever banned a book.
