THE creators of the Farage guillotine t-shirt paraded at a Zack Polanski Green Party festival last night removed it from sale.

But the company – part of an “anarchist co-operative” based out of a warehouse in Manchester – claimed it was “satire”.
A picture of a clubber wearing the slogan at a Green Party rave in Bristol at the weekend was posted on social media and “liked” by leader Polanski.

It sparked a furious response from Reform UK boss Nigel Farage who demanded cops arrest his political rival.
It came in the wake of the recent horrific death of former MP Ann Widdecombe who was allegedly bludgeoned to death with a hammer by a left-wing activist.

Last night the makers of the t-shirt – a company founded by two men from Burntwood, Staffs – said it was not meant to be taken literally.
A man at the firm’s warehouse, who wished to be called “Steve the cleaner” told The Jattvibe: “It is not for sale any more.
“It went on sale around spring but I took it off sale last night.
“It is a p***take. It is satire.
“Nigel Farage is always on about people wanting to kill him.

“Unfortunately it has got Zack Polanski into trouble.
“It is not inciting anything.
“It is not meant to be taken seriously.
“It is not a good time with Ann Widdecombe.
“Ann Widdecombe was an old lady and what happened is horrific and not on.
“If they want to legalise the guillotine that is up to them.

“We sold a few of the tee-shirts – a very small amount in dribs and drabs.
“It was probably less than 20 and we won’t be printing any more.
“I am not consumerist, we don’t do fast fashion.
“The other tee-shirts on sale are not offensive.
“Some people are offended by anti-racism or anti-fascism.”
Mr Polanski deleted the picture yesterday after its contents were “brought to his attention” and insisted he “does not support this type of dangerous message”.
