A STATEMENT signed by former footballers, MPs and union general secretary’s condemned the planned far-right protest that took place prior to England’s win today at Wembley Stadium.

A minority of England fans gathered outside the stadium before kick-off with flags that read “Don’t kneel for Marxism,” as a woman told others to “boo like crazy” when players knelt to raise awareness of ongoing racial inequality in Britain.

There were a smattering of boos as players made the anti-racism gesture, though they were drowned out by cheers and applause.
