Making a huge fuss because the child on a sweet package isn't blond and blue eyed.

Other than it happening within its borders, what has this got to do with the EU?

It's a right wing(nut) group being idiots - I'm sure that happens all over the world...

Ye, because the photos that were used were of footballers from Germany's squad for the European championships (taken when thy were children, of course).

Racism is a universal problem, not confined to Europeans though we have plenty of it here in the UK.

The "Patriotic" group against ''Islamisation of the West'' is akin to our EDL, the BNP and other home grown groups of which we should be heartily ashamed.

A one on the BBC website which is aimed at minorities voting. I wonder if there would have been an outcry had the images been reversed.

PUKIP are slightly different, they loathe other white people more than Asians/Africans/South Americans etc. Must give their BNP chums ideological problems.

So Germany are going to be playing in a 4-3-3 (/ 4-3-2-1) formation this summer... :-X

Funny in a round about way... it is just proof man cannot force the world to live together whatever union they insist on.
