Sounds like the usual shocking documentary the bbc usually pulls off. I've not seen it yet but guessing one or two shocking scenes and Ukraine is a horrible fascist place? Designed to get viewers and cause controversy...nothing more.Don't go to the Olympics...look at the riots!
I didn't see it but I saw the usual accusations of sensationalism from the BBC in comments on Facebook, can't say that would surprise me. Not that there isn't a problem in the Ukraine/Poland mind.The media never passes up an opportunity to scaremonger.
Of course it's safe , I'm thinking about taking arr lass and young'un for a bit of Jew baiting, a bout of 'Heil Hitlers' and flare chucking...........are you for real or merely blind ?

I can't believe people are saying its sensationalist, they spent a month there and in that time they saw:- Thousands of fans chanting and displaying hateful banners and tshirts towards Jews.- Thousands of fans making monkey noises to black players.- Fans attacking police and stewards unprovoked.- Fans throwing missiles and flares inside stadiums.- Thousands of fans doing Nazi salutes and chanting about Hitler.- Fans attacking sections of their own supporters for not being white.- Police and stewards taking no action at any of the stadiums.- A senior official denying that racism takes place inside the stadiums.How some people can say the BBC is just scaremongering is beyond me.
Although what it showed was extremely unacceptable, what country doesn't have this kind of thing going off inside it? f*** me when the edl come out in England, the same racism is shown towards people. They showed a minority on the bbc not the majority. I very much doubt Ukraine/Poland will be an unsafe environment for fans. It's so stupid. I hate how the English press report on this utter bullshit, trying to scaremonger, because that's all it is.

Or worse acceptable?The disgusting factor was the head of police claiming there was no problem whatsoever and the Nazi Salute was simply one set of supporters 'pointing' at the opposition set. With that sort of delusional attitude and downright lies - they'll never sort the issue out....wouldnt fill me with confidence that Im safe over there with that delusional muppet in charge.
