Another opportunistic piece of journalism which has triggered a storm of self righteous indignation, including in this forum from those who should know better. The squaddies at the match were joining the civvies in the spirit of the occasion and, God forbid, actually having fun. The lads with the scarf were larking about out of public sight. They weren't making a political statement for God's sake, but whoever published the photo has created one. I expect there will now be a parliamentary enquiry and the forces will then be labelled institutionally racist.
The lesson the MoD has forgotten is an old one and came with the invention of the camera. Don't ever mix soldiers in uniform with civilians in a social event, especially if sport is involved, because something "newsworthy" will inevitably result.
