It's not necessarily the T-shirt I find offensive.
It's calling themselves "The Few" ie. likening themselves to WW2 fighter pilots.
"Never was so much owed by so many to so few ..."
Oh do fk off. Cringe factor is off the scale ...
They are not flying Hurricanes or Spitfires and facing an enemy who wants to kill them, they are driving around in clapped out, modified Land Rovers in half an inch of snow.
wkers.

Helping other people in a difficult situation should be normal human behaviour and not require a crappy tee shirt to glorify it.
Taking a nurse to work in the snow or towing a car out of a ditch does not make you comparable to these men.
When I reached the post above however I did a double take because I realised I had seen that very pic a couple of days ago!
In Tom Neil's book 'Scramble' (he's the tall chap in front of the Hurricane's spinner)
It is the best known of a number of official publicity photographs taken by the famous snapper Cecil Beaton during a visit to 249 Squadron based at North Weald in September 1940.
l-r: P/O Percival Ross-Frames 'Percy' Burton; Flt/Lt Robert 'Butch' Barton; Flt/Lt Albert Gerald 'Zulu' Lewis; P/O Terry 'Ossie' Crossey; P/O Tom 'Ginger' Neil; P/O Hugh John Sherard 'Beazel' Beazley; Sqn/Ldr John Grandy C/O; P/O George Barclay; Flt/Lt Keith Lofts.
Amazingly, seven out of the nine in that group survived the war. Only Burton and Barclay were KIA (Burton 6 days after the pic was taken and Barclay in July 1942).

The fact that his Twitter page logo is a Dacia with some cheap tribal/dragon stickers put on really says a lot about how professional they are. I'd definitely hire them to keep my daughter's next birthday party in check, she'll be 3 next year.Obviously they know all about safeguarding since you aren't even authorised to view their tweets - you need special clearance

I'm told you can fend it off with 1 litre of Robinson's Lemon Squash diluted 1:100 with water - but the weaker the better! You'll also need to ensure you wear fully protective hi-vis top with camouflage trousers.
