Orient Fans Defy Racism

On Double Take this morning on BBC Radio 5, they interviewed three hardy Leyton Orient fans, who’d gone all the way to support England in Donetsk.  One was white, but the others were all or part-Bangladeshi. They were having a great time and had been made very welcome by the locals.

Let’s hope it all stays as peaceful.

Luckily for England, it seems most of the trouble  so far is down to old problems with Russia, like these when they played the Czech Republic last night. Hopefully UEFA have got it in hand.

When I went to Belarus, there were no problems, but a Russian lawyer, I met who supports England, talked of the problems between Russia and its former satellite states.
