Dirty Harry in Brighton's Sydney Street in the North Laine has started selling orange boiler suits as some kind of sick joke. They wouldn't dream of selling Auschwitz suits for obvious reasons so why should it be acceptable to sell these.
The fact that Omar Deghayes, a Guantanamo inmate, and his family who live in Brighton and have suffered so much as a result of this legal black hole could easily walk past these and would understandably struggle to find the funny side as do many of us.
Pay them a visit and politely ask them to stop selling them now.

I doubt that many people would be offended. If you ban everything because a couple of people are offended then we'd live in a very dull place. Let these kids have their fun - its ultimately harmless.
Comparing Guantanamo to Auschwitz is plainly stupid and somewhat insulting to the memory of all the people who died at Auschwitz, because you are effectively cheapening the atrocity. Whatever you think of Guantanamo - it aint even close to Auschwitz.

A 'couple of people' could well include Brighton resident Omar Deghayes who was held in Guantanamo for years, tortured and blinded in one eye - I suppose he should just lighten up a little.
