Has the UK gone mad???
Dr. Matt Taylor's shirt - depicting scantily-clad women - attracted a barrage of criticism on social media.

I know one on here at least who would wear this shirt

Hopefully only the lousy past politicians. Again hopefully the genuine British citizens who remember the uk before it was interfered with by meddling unknowledgable and sloppy pollies, will show their true feelings at the next election. JS

The only cretins who would complain about that are either extremely ugly, stupid or mysoginists. I thought the shirt was rather coming.

Just shows the low mentality of the complainers, who it appears cannot fathom the fantastic achievement of these men and women and how it will benefit them in one way or another directly or indirectly by the bi-products of such science

Re: Has the UK gone mad???
I have had shirts like that, from Hawaii. bought my first one in 1954, No one complained, and no apologies from me.
These people should be locked up as perverts , they who can only see bad in anything , that is all they can think about,
Every day now there is someone shouting that they are Offended by something that has been here for years. What miserable lives they must lead.
I am Offended by people who are always saying they are Offended.
Cheers

Just the other day I was saying to my friend George - a very large black spider in my toilet - that people might be offended by our friendship.
"Invite them to use your toilet," said he.
