JUST Stop Oil has been slammed for "hypocrisy" after importing T-shirts made 4,000 miles away to sell to supporters.
The eco-warriors, notorious for disrupting traffic and sporting and cultural events, ship in merchandise made in the Dominican Republic with no apology for the carbon-creating journey it takes.
Senior Tory Sir Iain Duncan Smith said JSO was demonstrating its "do what I say, not what I do" attitude.
The activists' store is selling "iconic" T-shirts with its logo emblazoned across the front, for £20 in orange or white to help fund their disruptive stunts.
The garments, made by low-paid workers, are described on the website as being 100% cotton, and customers are assured they are made with "no oil".
But cross-party politicians lined up to criticise the climate group, infamous for creating havoc, over its "blatant inconsistency".Reform UK MP Richard Tice said the eco-group were "hypocrisy personified", adding: "Just Stop Oil uses just cheap labour and just fossil fuels to make its merchandise." Former Tory MP Bob Seely said that JSO using an overseas T-shirt supplier "sums them up really".
He added: "They drone on about saving the planet but fly in T-shirts from 4,000 miles away.
"Perhaps if they practised what they preached they would get them made in the UK.Esta historia es de la edición December 27, 2024 de Daily Express.
