FC Millwall Threatens Legal Action Against Westminster City Council
Controversial School Brochure Sparks Outrage
English second-tier club FC Millwall is weighing legal action against Westminster City Council after the authority compared the club to the Ku Klux Klan in a school brochure.
Racism Awareness Campaign Backfires
The leaflet was meant to raise children’s awareness of racism, but the campaign backfired spectacularly. One of the cartoons depicted a Ku Klux Klan member—easily recognised by his white robe and pointed hood—wearing an FC Millwall logo on his chest.
- FC Millwall is considering legal action against Westminster City Council.
- The controversy arose from a school brochure meant to raise awareness about racism.
- The brochure featured a Ku Klux Klan member wearing an FC Millwall logo.
The comparison to the Ku Klux Klan is particularly egregious given the club's history and community.
Potential Consequences and Next Steps
FC Millwall has not yet commented on the potential next steps in the legal process, but the club is clearly upset by the comparison.
