The tireless topless activists from Ukraine’s FEMEN women’s rights group have chosen English fans as their primary target at Euro 2012. FEMEN have already staged a number of provocative acts, including an attempt to break the Euro Cup trophy, as they protest against the football tournament turning their country into a global bordello. The movement’s leader, Inna Shevchenko, claims the supporters of the English national team – well known for their bad behavior on trips abroad – pose the greatest threat for Ukraine’s fair sex.  “English fans need to know that if they try to mess with Ukrainian women then we’ll try to mess with them,”  the 21-year-old said.  “The sex industry exploits women, who are so poor and often uneducated.”  Shevchenko promised that she and her comrades will use their naked breasts to  “attack”  every English match at the tournament. England are in Group D for Euro 2012, with co-hosts Ukraine, France and Sweden being their rivals. Ukraine’s capital
