It's lucky there's a few people who don't fall for this lazy journalism.

  must have the easiest job in the world. He just sticks a coat on outside BBC TV Centre and does a 10 second cut basically saying what the programme's about at the start of the programme and then you... more

    don Roger Cook-style joke shop disguises and confront the dickheads?

      no just wondering what sort of fee a presenter gets for 30 seconds' work a week.
- I'm sure those Indian supporters — Les Merrick, Tue May 29 19:20
  
  who were disgracfully attacked are glad to know it was just scaremongering

  The behaviour of some of the fans where utterly disgusting. Far-right fascist agitators have embedded themselves into mindset of some of these local club supporters which is worrying. It is sad to... more
- i swear it causes so much needless racism — ruiz, Tue May 29 15:15
  
  in this country, the common reaction to yesterday's program was 'kick out all the polish and asians from our country'. It's a shame these things are happening, but Panorama put such a negative slant... more
- - I'm struggling to follow your line of thinking here — tax dodge wherever you may be, Tue May 29 18:02
    
    I don't agree the documentary would prejudice people against Ukranians and Poles, but it highlights that there are issues at hand there. I would have thought the chances of incidences of racist... more

    ---anything, Mr Ruiz. Or indeed to put a positive or negative slant on anything. Or to spread hate, as you quite unbelievably said in your post. It is there to bring newsworthy topics to people's... more
  - - What did you think in 2006? — LX, Wed May 30 01:09
      
      When The (Irish) producer of Panorama reported the 2006 World Cup (in my opinion the greatest event for Anglo-German relations since 1945) as a sinister reflection of English football supporters (you ... more

        --tournament also. These were not just voiced by the BBC at the time. Serious concerns back then were not without foundation, when you consider some England "supporters" record when playing Germany... more
  - Who reacted like that? — Anonymous, Tue May 29 16:08
    
    The 1st thing to do to try and tackle this is by raising awareness that it is a common occurrence in certain countries. So many people including the relevant authorities have buried their heads in... more

    The predictability of the tabloid press, and the reports of the various news angencies before each major tournament is depressing. Why anyone would bother watching such a Panoramam programme is... more

    It went to few high profile games and with selective filming painted a very narrow picture. Just imagine a film crew turning up at Rangers v Celtic, Millwall v West Ham and even a few lesser fixtures ... more

      How is that lazy? The term 'lazy journalism' is thrown around with the same reckless abandon as 'banker' these days. People have lost sight of what they're actually referring to. You're talking about ... more

        A friend of mine (who should know better) recently told me he wasn't going to Ukraine because the flights were £700 and the hotels were more! I guess this is because tabloid journalists have spent... more
