Storm In a T-Shirt. "Anyone But England" T-Shirts Sell Out After Racism Row...
It would seem that the infamous "Anyone But England" T-shirts have caused a bit of a storm up in Scotland. Police were forced to investigate the shop selling them after receiving a complaint because someone felt the t-shirts were racist...
The shop's assistant manager, Jamie Wilkinson, was left stunned after the police visit, saying: "The tops are just harmless banter. They've got nothing to do with hating the English, it's just about winding them up - and it really seems to be working."
But the best quote came from Hamish Husband, from the Association of Tartan Army Clubs, who summed it up perfectly when he said: "It's not racism -- it's football."
To add further insult to English injury, the t-shirts have now sold out...
