About the artist
This satirical design by Willustration taps into the current national mood.
We feel it’s our civic duty as an Ethical enterprise to print these t-shirts to raise national awareness about the little known “Barnard Castle Eye Test”.
UK government adviser Dominic Cummings travelled to his family’s estate in Durham with his child and wife, who had developed coronavirus symptoms, during the national lockdown.
Cummings said he made an additional 30 mile trip to local tourist attraction Barnard Castle, while he was there, to “test his eyesight” before driving back to London.
To ensure the quality standards are up to scratch we’ve partnered with local Ethical Optician Eyeye to bring this design to you on our Ethically produced t-shirts.
