One of the most fashionable T-shirts around these days comes in black and carries the words "Hated by the Daily Mail" on it. Its designer, who wishes to remain anonymous in case he gets added to the long list of the reviled, said that it is proving to be a winner. The beauty of it is that it can be worn by about 80% of the population: Gypsies, social workers, gays, asylum seekers, teachers, lefties, trade unionists, anarchists, single parents, drug users, immigrants, academics, scientists, people who believe in global warming, civil servants, Sir Ian Blair, Travellers, George Galloway, hoodies, Ruth Kelly, hippies, Labour politicians, dope smokers, Guardian readers, Lib Demmers, liberals, Guardian writers, drinkers, moral relativists... the list is endless. "If I wear it on the tube, people come up to me and ask where they can get it," said the designer. "The last person was someone who works with refugees."
