Fascism is Cured by Reading Unisex T-Shirt
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 design says it plainly. Made to order on a unisex Bella and Canvas 3001 tee, with a design 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.
Every VBP t-shirt is made to order. They are 100% combed and ring-spun cotton, OEKO-TEX certified, tested free from harmful substances. Pre-shrunk and side-seamed, with shoulder-to-shoulder taping and a regular unisex fit that suits everyone.

Measurements are of the garment laid flat, not of the body. Length runs from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem, and width straight across the chest one inch below the armhole. The sizes you can actually order are the ones in the dropdown above. If you are between sizes, or you want it looser, size up.
Free to the UK and the EU, with no minimum spend. £3.95 to the rest of Europe and £8.95 to the rest of the world. We ship to more than 40 countries.
Because everything is made to order, allow 3 to 5 working days before your order leaves us. You get a tracking link the moment it ships.
Get in touch and we will sort it out. Have a look at the size guide before you order if you are unsure, and remember the measurements are of the garment rather than of you.
Machine wash cold and inside out, then tumble dry low or hang it up. Do that and the design will outlast the government that inspired it.
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 turned into a community of hundreds of thousands of people who never stopped believing Britain belongs in Europe.
Every design starts the same way. Something absurd happens, somebody has to say so, and a shirt says it for a good deal longer than a tweet does. Mocking the con since 2016.
