my junior school singing what I assume were National Front songs

Did you go to school with Nigel Farage ?

Thanks to the power of Google I've just discovered that these songs were not in fact rallying cries from an extreme right wing racist organisation. They were football chants. Which explains where small children got them from.

So I'm just going to call BS on this rosy PC memory of school in the 1980s people here seem to have.

My bigotry when I was young certainly did not come from my family. It came from private school and my failure, for whatever reason, to use my brain to challenge that shit.
