Che was a murderer and your t-shirt is not cool - Part 43

This is why Poles are awesome. Via

Old Holborn

the news out of Poland seems to be "enough is enough" when it comes to the extremist left. Though Tory Bear doesn't really agree with the principle of banning t-shirts it is fantastic to finally see the acknowledgement that Che Guevara was a

murdering terrorist,

and splashing him across your chest is ridiculous. As anyone who has ever heard to the word Katyan would be able to tell you, it is no surprise that the Poles have been the first to break cover with this, but finally the tide is turning:

"Communism was a terrible, murderous system that claimed millions of lives," said Professor Wojciech Roszkowski, a leading Polish historian and member of the European parliament.
"It was very similar to National Socialism, and there is no reason to treat those two systems, and their symbols, differently. Their glorification should be prohibited."

The only vague satisfaction TB can ever get from seeing people in Che Guvrara t-shirts is the thought that someone would have made money from flogging it to them. The epitome of anti-capitalist imagery, being sold for a profit in a free market. Only one things more ridiculous than wearing a Che t-shirt would be regularly dressing up as him in military fatigues and beret...

But we'll save that picture for another day eh Gareth?
