In a chilly but sunny Saturday at Tufnell Park, Jeremy Corbyn enjoyed the vibrant scene of youth football led by his son Ben, who coaches at the London Football School. Amidst the joy of the game, Corbyn expressed his concern about impending far-right protests at Finsbury Park mosque. Nostalgically, he reminisced about his childhood memories supporting Wolverhampton, revealing a personal connection to the day's Arsenal match. As he prepared to head to the mosque, he faced a humorous hiccup with a new phone while trying to reach Ben.
"Corbyn watched the boys and girls running, passing and yelling with such freedom but he also revealed that, two miles away, there was concern that far-right protesters would gather that afternoon outside Finsbury Park mosque."
"He reminded me that the Tufnell Park fields had once been Arsenal's training ground and that the afternoon's fixture held a special resonance for him."
