Lib Dem PPC Caroline Voaden noticed something horrible online today. One of those design your own t-shirt/hoodie/vest companies had allowed a t-shirt to appear on its website, selling for £18.18, which said, shockingly, Eat, Sleep, Rape, Repeat.
Caroline is a former CEO of Devon Rape Crisis and has called for this t-shirt to be withdrawn from sale.
If you are not on Twitter, you can email the company at [email protected]. I’ve done so, asking them to withdraw this vile product, apologise and put processes in place that stop such designs getting on to their website. Surely this must have been seen by a human at some stage. Why on earth did they not stop it. And if it wasn’t seen by a human, they need some quality control.
Please do what you can to amplify Caroline’s campaign and let’s hope this monstrosity is a thing of the past before the end of the weekend.
Caroline has also created a petition that you can sign.

I honestly have to ask? How on earth did anyone actually ever though this ok to issue as a design it’s actually disgusting.
Caroline has also set up a petition on Change.org but it has only got 53 signatures at the moment. Come on guys and gals. https://www.change.org/p/stop-selling-this-vile-t-shirt?recruiter=16300896&recruited_by_id=17fcd840-7dea-0130-d97a-3c764e049c4f&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=share_for_starters_page&utm_medium=copylink
Is Viral Style breaking the law relating to incitement, and would anyone who was wearing the t-shirt?
