A few weeks ago in Warsaw we were handing out some of the Never Again friendship bracelets (sponsored by Nike) to youngsters and one 8 year old told my wife that he could not touch a black person because his father had told him he would catch Aids from them – absolutely shocking.

However in fairness attitudes are changing and this is one of the reasons we decided to move to Warsaw, when we could have lived anywhere, sure my wife still gets strange looks, particularly from older people, but I tell her that’s because she looks like a mix between Halle Berry and Angeline Jollie and they recognize beauty!!!!!

Of course we avoid any chance of being near a football ground on match day, the sheer fear in my wife when she hears football chants brings tears to my eyes…..this is certainly a problem that needs the highest attention and equal press support to the noise given to stadia, roads and railroads, the Never Again publication is not a good medium, real concern needs to start at the Government level, the Polish FA, within the football clubs, TV stations and mass media – there is a lot of work to do – but scant attention given to this sad part of the Polish mindset.
