World Cup tshirts are racist!!!

Think this is funny ...

BBC News - Police fears over 'Anyone but England' T-shirt

A scottish shop is selling world cup tshirts with 'ABE' on them meaning Anyone but England .. and has had a visit from the police:

A company selling "Anyone but England" T-shirts for this year's World Cup has rejected suggestions it is racist after police in Aberdeen visited its store.

Police warned Slanj, which also has stores in Glasgow and Edinburgh, that a window display featuring the shirt could cause offence.
Grampian officers advised a store worker to consider whether the display was appropriate and should be removed.

but i do like this bit ...

"We have been selling this T-shirt for the past three months and we've had a great response.



"Even the English people who come into the store think it's a laugh and just a bit of tongue-in-cheek football banter.
"We're certainly not being racist. We are the same race as the English. It's just daft to say it's offensive."
