Fitting tribute to the tragicomic symbolism - it *had* to be Millwall on London Bridge - Cockney legend.

Great song. Praise be to Roy Larner. And may I also bring to mind the heroic action of Ignacio Echeverría, who fought the Moors with his skateboard and also died in this same battle. Glory to our heroes!

Indeed. You are absolutely right

A poignant reminder of the heroic ordinary people in the fight against the tide of filth trying to engulf us

We like you!

What a wonderful tribute to Roy Larner, thank you. It's weird seeing Lewis Schaffer in a Millwall shirt, definitely one of the better ones that we've had through the years.

Dominic Frisby's avatar

I don’t know about that!

Is this public? Can I post it on Twitter?

Dominic Frisby's avatar

Sure I’ll put up a Twitter version soon but this is fine for now. Was giving readers of this letter priority …

Meanwhile, since I paid my $70, you'll have to listen to be prate on about Henry George and land value tax. ;-)

Dominic Frisby's avatar

that's very kind of you Dan thanks

At last!

Been waiting for a video for the past three months.

So pleased you've finally made one.

The big question - are you going to put it on YouTube?

Dominic Frisby's avatar

Eventually but I want to give subscribers to this Substack priority

When you were writing the song, i wonder if somewhere Kipling's "Tommy" resonated. https://www.poetry.com/poem/33632/tommy

From the poem: "..Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;..." Ouch!

Dominic Frisby's avatar

I'd read the poem, of course, but it wasn't in my mind when I wrote it. Though a few people have made the (very flattering) connection. Thank you!

I wonder if Roy has seen this? Dom, you have to invite Roy to join you on stage at your end of year show December 16th? He would get a great reception

Dominic Frisby's avatar

Good idea I'll invite him.

Yes, he has seen it!

Ludloff's avatar

I'm glad he has seen it. I thought about trying to find a way to send it to him. The song is great👍
