Seen modelling their own t-shirts, this couple were spotted walking through Brixton Village/Granville Arcade yesterday.

The shirts bear the words, “More Blacks, More Dogs, More Irish,” a twist on the racist messages said to have been posted up by landlords in Britain in the 1960s.

The V&A Museum has a short page on the provenance of the ‘No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish’ story:

Signs reading ‘No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish’ were allegedly placed in the windows of some pubs and bed & breakfasts in England in the 1960s. Whether these signs actually existed is currently debated, but the message resonates strongly enough for it to have moved into everyday language as an ugly example of historic discrimination.

John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) famously used the same provocative phrase for his 2004 autobiography, No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish.

We enjoyed seeing the words being subverted to spread a message of love.
