"We
don't want them here" ... "Bloody parasites" ...
"Thieving thugs." No, I'm not talking about Millwall fans,
I mean the Sangatte refugees.
In return for the French government closing
down the Sangatte asylum centre, the British government has been
told it must accept 1,200 of the bastards.
So where does the government put
them? In the countryside? No thanks they say, there aren't enough
jobs. In the inner-city? No thanks, its worse than Baghdad. What
about a low population area where you can be entertained every weekend
and you will actually be welcomed? Great! Welcome to your new home
of Selhurst Park.

Not only will they get free shelter
and accomodation, but they will be employed as fulltime Wimbledon
FC fans.
This project is the first of its kind
in the UK and is the brainchild of FA director Rufus Twinklebottom,
who is also a major shareholder at Wimbledon.
"Yes, we at the FA contacted
Mr Blair and told him that we had the answer to all his problems.
As we at Wimbledon are, how you say, 'attendance-deficient' at the
moment, we though we could kill two birds with one stone: we could
increase our home attendances and also help the government keep
those human leaches from prolonged periods at The Hilton."
Although initially all was well, problems
arose from the ground sharing that Selhurst Park incorporates. Crystal
Palace are the other residents of Selhurst Park and are distinctly
less keen than their other tennants about the newcomers. Trevor
Francis, the first team manager has his reservations.
"I simply can't believe what's been
going on. Yesterday I drove into work nice and early for a training
session. When I got there and opened up the boot of my car, out
came two scruffy looking East Europeans. First I thought they were
the clubs new signings, but after a chat from the chairman I found
out that they had probably climbed into the back of my car in Calais
when I was stockpiling my car with cheap booze for the club Christmas
party."
According to new government regulations,
the vast majority of the refugees are to be given jobs in and around
the ground - picking up litter, stewarding, intimidating away fans,
etc. I just feel sorry for the poor few who have to watch the 90
minutes of Nationwide quality football each week.
