Have just returned from Millwall. This was the tenth of my football based social survey visits in ths country this season following on from Exeter, Ipswich, Newcastle, Charlton, Aston Villa, Southampton, QPR, Sutton Utd and Arsenal. The principal aim is to get behind the bollocks in the media and their fake bogeymen agendas to discover how things really are and tell truths as opposed to lies.
I am happy to advise that Millwall football club is a beautiful place in a deprived area, full of sweet, friendly, elderly gentleman, well behaved children and teenagers, and the spirited disabled along with significant elements of people from ethnic backgrounds and women of all ages, plus there is a community food bank.
Not one act of violence was witnessed, nor was any racist comment heard for the entire duration.
I assess that this is among the most tolerant and patient areas of the country I have visited, given the lifelong states of poverty that have blighted most of the supporters wellbeing and a not very talented football team. And yes I intend to return there very soon.
The elites decided to create a signal failure at South Bermondsey 15 minutes before the end of the match. This required all to make considerable detours in order to get home. I suppose that, yes, it did enable the police to be engaged in a useful training exercise of galloping their horses to the backdrop of sirens which occurred with some drama Surrey Quays side.
But other than that such a deliberate willful act from the toffs served little purpose other than to demoralize. It didn't succeed and the f word which is no more prevalent than at any other of the grounds did not increase in frequency at the bus stops or on the streets.
There was an aspect to the scenario which was almost heavenly. That aspect was that there was not a rich twerp - the sort who who supports Labour, the LIb Dems, the Nationalists, the Greens, the Tigs, the Conservatives, the ERG or UKIP - in sight.
When it comes to the predominantly though not exclusively white liberal-in-one-way-or-another and overly wealthy Brits, there may increasingly be a strong argument for enforced repatriation to the EU. Simultaneously, we will keep our diverse working class who will benefit from their seized money.
I should like to dedicate this post to my mother who had the privilege of being born near the Walworth Road and whose socio-environmental genes I have inherited whatever the subsequent independent school and university education which were both in what they offered severely lacking (much as most of the so-called educated in politics and the media are). .
