Euro 2012 Boycott - Ukraine

[vonuber]

Should the UK follow Germany's (and other countries) lead and boycott the Ukraine for Euro 2012?

Ukraine seems to be going a bit old school Stalinist in its direction of jailing opponents.

Sport and politics eh?

It is a little naughty of the Germans though to lead this call though...they are after all the beneficiaries of a switch.

Well its been confirmed this week there's not much point in going anyway, so sure, where do I sign up?

I'd brutally destroy her too. I don't think that football teams will boycott as firstly FIFA doesn't allow governments to meddle in the nation's football team and they'll probably ban the boycotting nations from another tournament.

Anyway we shouldn't boycott as I'd be pretty happy if some of our previous PMS were jailed.

If you read the article, it's about German ministers boycotting by not visiting the Ukraine.

That'll show 'em!

Should we be surprised that the Germans are bypassing Ukraine and going straight for Poland?
