Just catching up on today's news. Ever such a lot of purple on view...have the Conservatives changed colour? Interesting choice!

The sumptuary laws of the Tudor age forbade all but the Royal Family from wearing purple.

Think there were laws in place preventing people from a lower class from wearing clothes that were considered to best suit upper classes. Guess it was a way of reminding people where they belonged.

I think the colour purple itself was very expensive to dye onto clothes. That’s why the English army wore red coats. Red, was the cheapest colour to dye.

I could be completely wrong.

Edit. Ipswich should change from blue shirts to purple.
