HMV stores in Scotland have withdrawn shop front posters advertising 'ABE - Anyone But England' merchandise.
Although the HMV stores will still sell the T-shirts to customers they have faced accusations of racism from the Campaign for an English Parliament. "The Campaign for an English Parliament will challenge any company that incites racial hatred towards the English," the CEP's Stuart Parr said. "Racism is unacceptable no matter who it is directed against, including English people."
I think it's pathetic that so many Scots cheer anyone but England but Mr Parr needs to lighten up.
A HMV spokesman told the Press and Journal:
“If we thought the shirts were in any way racist then we certainly wouldn’t have stocked them. In our view the shirts are not against England nor the English, but are simply about some Scottish fans expressing a view that they want any team other than England to win this year’s World Cup."
