http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/9990334/Football-fans-vow-to-confront-anti-Thatcher-demonstrators.htmlI don't know how true this is, but apparently the Police are worried about Millwall fans confronting the anti-Thatcher demonstrations in Trafalgar square tomorrow...
Football fans have warned of a confrontation on social media.
One Millwall fan with the Twitter handle 'Ricky MFC Mitchell' said: "To all you p----- protesting on Sat at Trafalgar sq about thatcher, be warned Millwall in town and in force, expect abuse from me #Millwall".
Another user wrote: "The commies are having a party to celebrate Thatcher dying at Trafalgar Sq Saturday. 30k Millwall fans will be about too in London that day."

Never thought I would stick up these Millwall fans lol
If anything they've made it worse by making their concerns public. A load of braindead Millwall will read it and go "That ain't a bad idea actually".
Clueless!

The Metropolitan Police Service, The City of London Police and British Transport Police are fully aware of the potential impact of such a significant number of events taking place so close together on the local business community. We have an appropriate and proportionate policing plan in place.
We are working closely with organisers where available and are attempting to engage with any protest group to facilitate the events taking place.
You will notice an increase in the number of police officers in and around Central London over the next week. This is part of the preparation for this event and should not be cause for alarm. Please contact your local safer neighbourhoods’ team if you have any concerns.
Whilst a robust policing plan is in place you can help to manage your business by taking a few sensible precautions. The following points are a list of considerations and are by no means exhaustive.
The police are constantly monitoring the situation and there is no intelligence as yet to suggest any buildings or companies will be targeted. It may however, be prudent to review some of the suggestions below should there be a protest at your business premises.
What can you do to prepare?
bla bla bla
Thanks.
That will be a surprise
*Like
Millwall will no more attack the Trots than they smashed up the Valley and killed every Charlton fan at the derby game.
In both cases there will be/were police everywhere.
There should have been street parties when Thatcher left government.
And if Thatcher had had her way we'd all be having to take ID cards to football matches...
