Tommy Robinson Hawking ‘Patriotic’ Clothing Made By Muslims In Bangladesh

Tommy Robinson has been busy promoting merch from his United the Kingdom clothing line (naturally), but can you guess where these £20 Union Jack-emblazoned bucket hats were made? Yup – by Muslims in Bangladesh.

You would think that a quintessential British patriot like Tommy would ensure these UTK T-shirts, caps and key rings made by British workers in Britain, but the Daily Mail has revealed that they’re made in Bangladesh; a Muslim-majority country.

Not that you need the Daily Mail to tell you this, as the label on the products literally says ‘Made in Bangladesh’.

The manufacturer is a Belgian company called Stanley/Stella which have 11 suppliers based in Bangladesh and one located in China, according to a Fair Wear audit last year.

According to the foundation’s report, the Brussels-based company pays its Bangladeshi workers the equivalent of 36p per hour and has been previously accused of running sweatshops.

I mean, whether you’re a supporter of Tommy Robinson or not, you have to admit that selling ‘patriotic’ clothes made by Muslims in Bangladesh perfectly sums up the guy’s hypocrisy; preaching about nationalism while exploiting and profiting from the same people he demonises.

Although I’m sure he would argue that the merchandise isn’t being made by illegal immigrants, or any type of immigrant in fact, so what’s the issue?

Of course, clothing and merchandise manufactured abroad in countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, China and Vietnam is a lot more profitable because the cost of labour is so low, but can you really ask people to ‘buy British’ if your items aren’t made in Britain?

Furthermore, is there anyone out there who wouldn’t be completely embarrassed to be wearing this stuff? Sorry Tommy, but I don’t think your followers will be ditching their Stone Island gear any time soon.
