THE row over the “feminist” T-shirts worn by political leaders is another demonstration of just how out-of-touch the political elite is, North-West Louise Bours said last night.

The Fawcett society garment which says ‘This is what a feminist looks like’ has been worn by Labour leader Ed Miliband, his deputy Harriet Harman and LibDem deputy prime minister Nick Clegg.

But it has been alleged the £45 T-shirts were made in’ sweatshop’ conditions in Mauritius by women on poverty wages.

Blackburn College-educated UKIP health spokeswoman Ms Bours said: “What on earth do they think they are doing parading around in an outrageously over-priced T-shirt promoting feminism which is actually produced by some of the most poorly-paid and down trodden women in the world?

“Only the wealthy would glibly hand over £45 for such a garment thinking they are helping the ‘sisterhood’.”

She added: “Working class single mums would have far more sense.”
