T-shirt, white cotton, large, with a printed image on the chest. The illustration, by cartoonist Steve Bell, is a parody of John Hassall's railway poster, 'Skegness is so bracing'. It features former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, prancing naked along a sandy beach, with the text "Freedom of Information is so bracing". Additional text reads "After John Hassall" and "© Steve Bell. 2014.5.12". A small label in the collar identifies the manufacturer as Rapanui.
