According to Friday's Guardian Kosovan refugee and highly promising footballer Naim Uka, who fled to England after his parents disappeared, his neighbours were murdered and his home destroyed, was a tad surprised to be awarded a two-year contract by Leyton Orient recently. Why? Well, last month, when he turned on BBC Five Live, he heard these views on refugees being aired: "I think it's disgraceful we let all these people into the country. It's about time we started looking after ourselves. I wouldn't have one of them in." And who opined in such a thoughtful manner? One Barry Hearn . . . chairman of Leyton Orient. Then again, Hearn conceded he would allow coloured boxers stay in Britain "because they could make me a fortune". A man of principle, clearly.
