British Press ticked about FA's handling of Three Lions' visit to Auschwitz

the FA made an error that confirms the power of Auschwitz to confuse. It instructed the press here that only two reporters – later extended to three – would be allowed to accompany the England party, and that it would pool their reports for everyone’s use.

Actually, I think the British press are lucky to get three reporters. A visit to Auschwitz is a very personal thing, and should not be turned into a circus by a throng of Fleet Street clowns.

Best way to handle it is not to allow any regular press, and release a few tactful photos taken by the team photographer. Who gives a shite what Rooney thinks about it? Auschwitz transcends sports.
