Far Right. So Wrong These shirts are more than a statement—they’re a stand against extremism. Bold, unapologetic, and rooted in solidarity, they push back against the politics of division. Every purchase helps fund HOPE not hate, an organisation dedicated to challenging the far right in Britain and building communities based on unity and compassion.

👉 Teemill are doing free shipping until Monday, so now might be a time to pick up one of my Far Right. So Wrong T-shirts.
