Yes even though they (UK teams) have four votes they do need to build backing and there is a lot of politicking involved.
Try using the line we invented football as your hook to secure a tournament and see how far you get.
Your opinion here is frankly ridiculous, Barney. It is not being absurdly patriotic to suggest that England has a lot of prestige in the football world, and therefore has little need to organise a 'dirty tricks' campaign merely for the right to organise a football tournament.
As Poland/Ukraine had just staged a tournament, they would not be in contention again for some years.
Furthermore, the BBC is a genuinely independent organisation.
One point you seriously need to address, is that nothing in the Panorama programme was inaccurate.
I thought you were against racism, the far right and so on. So, a major broadcaster highlights this problem and you are opposed to this ?!?!
On what grounds? That the broadcaster happens to be 'British'? So, Harry has summarised you correctly, then?
I don't agree that so called "Ethnic minorities" should avoid either Poland or Ukraine they just have to be extra cautious.
Why should ethnic minority people have to be 'extra cautious'?
Now that Sol Campbell has been recognised as an unimpeachable source his insistence that Britain is a Racist place is correct is it?
He's as entitled to his opinion as much as the next man. I wouldn't be angry with any broadcaster for reporting his remarks, or state they were disseminating 'propaganda' for doing so. I'm not going to organise any anti-Sol Campbell demonstrations because of what he said.
