Right you lot. Enjoyed that?

We have the ONLY independent Women's team in East London here in #Walthamstow. @LondonSeawardFC.

Football without barriers. Watch this. Sign up to our newsletter for fundraiser deets. Get involved. londonseawardfc.com
@LondonSeawardFC This moment isn't just about the Women's Prem. It's about the pipeline. And it's about proving women's football is MORE than just 'big name' clubs.

It's about removing barriers for women to play at ANY level.

It's about making it available to all.
You want to come and watch when the season starts? Brilliant. But that's not the only way you can help. If you just like the IDEA of helping then we will have the Patreon up once it's verified. Give us 3 quid a month.

You do that, and you're enabling someone who doesn't have the money to pay-to-play to take part.

You're giving young girls the same chance young boys have from league clubs:

The chance to just PLAY. To compete based on ability, not income.
Sign up for the newsletter. Stay up to date. OBVIOUSLY we'd love to see you at games. But honestly, we can make you feel part of the club if you live in London, Sydney, Tokyo or New York.

Sign up. Then be part of our fundraising. You'll make a difference.
Football is MORE than just [Big Club] Ladies FC. We want to prove that. The ladies have done it on the pitch last season and will do so again.

Step up. Get involved. Even from a distance.

More in the week, but please. Subscribe. londonseawardfc.com/signup-for-upd…
And if you're a business, or an individual - hell, I know how many ticks follow me, SPONSOR US. sponsor a player. take out a match day sponsorship. We still need a primary shirt sponsor this season. You can BE ON THE KIT.

Tell me you don't want that!

Get in touch.
DM me. Sponsor us.

We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and diverse club, with players and volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds.

You want to ride this women's football wave? Look at our site. Tell me you don't want in on us. On what we offer. londonseawardfc.com
£15k. For a whole season. That's all that shirt sponsorship will cost you. That's nothing to a bunch of you brands and VCs that follow me.

And you get to back women's football AND benefit from me saying nice things about you on threads that reach up to 15m impressions.

DM me. Image
You get all sorts of cool things for that. But more importantly you get to buy into a project that is about opening the game up even further. And about building NEW clubs people can love.

And proving others can do that, elsewhere in the country, too.
Y'all follow me who work in marketing. Who have "Director" in your profile, or "founder" or "president"

You probably do because you identify with the empathy and ethics I talk about when I do history threads.

I talk about people who make a difference. This is YOUR chance.

Later, there's a mission called 'Little England' on your main mission path.

It takes you to a single town in the apocalyptic wasteland full of people in bowler hats and frilly dresses, policed by robot 'bobbies' and you need to work out what's going on.
They all claim to be really happy and loyal followers of their eternal Prime Minister Liz Truss, who has led them since before the apocalypse.

They affectionately refer to her as the 'Tin Lady', and her voice periodically exhorts them with utter banalities from loudspeakers.

A reminder that we LITERALLY had a Space programme in the 60/70s, independently achieved space flight, launched our own rockets and Prospero (our first actual independently launched satellite) is still up there, trying to talk to us.

But we can't answer her cos we lost her codes
I've written about this, multiple times.

The only reason we don't have a world-leading space programme now (we built for a budget based on V2 tech, not big flashy rockets) is the continual lack of long term thinking from politicians and the Treasury.
So absolute credit to all the engineers at Virgin's space ops. But let's not pretend Mr Beardy Richman is making some kind of national history here just because he got bored of balloons.

I'm always amazed at the cast iron certainty of some people that they KNOW they'd be amazing heroes in terrible situations.

One of the things being a historian teaches you is that the people who think life is simply good vs evil like that are normally conned into doing the evil.
The real truth of the matter is such situations are horrible, messy and complicated. And the people who end up doing good in them are often those who have strong ethics, but are conscious of their own limits. The ones who don't think they're the hero in their own story.
Trying to illustrate that is one reason I do history threads. It's not about glorifying individuals. It's about highlighting the various ways people have reacted, to provide mental examples as to how people from a variety of backgrounds and complicity CAN find a way to say: "no."

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for an attack on an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam.

As the attack developed, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else:

A massacre.

He decided to act. /1 🧵 a clean-cut Hugh Thompson Jnr, pictured in the sixties, in h
At first Thompson and his crew, Lawrence Colburn and Glen Andreotta thought the wounded were the result of artillery fire.

They dropped a green flare near a wounded civilian, expecting the infantry to help. Cpt Medina of Charlie Company walked over and shot her in the head. captain medina, giving evidence later, wearing his dress uni
"We were hovering six feet off the ground not more than twenty feet away when Captain Medina came over, kicked her, stepped back, and finished her off." He later said. "He did it right in front of us. When we saw Medina do that, it clicked. It was our guys doing the killing."
