‘F*** you, I’m Millwall’ beer
11B-Mailclerk sends us a link to the UK’s Telegraph which reports on a new Sweden-brewed beer inspired by Roy Larner, the hero of the Black & Blue restaurant and bar where some terrorists attacked patrons and Larner attracted their attention from the rest with his now-iconic phrase “F*** you, I’m Millwall”.
In a statement on their website Frequency Beer Works said: “We were humbled and impressed to read about Millwall supporter Roy Larner, who single-handedly stepped in against the terrorists in London, shouting ‘F*** you, I’m Millwall!’, saving countless lives by drawing the attention of the attackers, giving others the possibility to run to safety.
“We salute him, and have made a special edition of our bitter available in his honour. A portion of the proceedings will be donated to the fund started in his name.”
A more appropriate tribute isn’t possible.

Awesome. . .
If they’ll import here to NC, I’ll buy and drink a few to his cause.
Ditto SLC Utah. I’m not normally a beer drinker, but I could make an exception in this case. Just let me know where I can pick up a few.
Fight or flight.
Some people already know the answer beforehand.
Especially if they’re Millwall fans. Their chant is “No one likes us, we don’t care.”
I don’t even drink, but I would love to drink a pint wit this bloke!
What I don’t get about this incident is that this guy, unarmed, took on the armed islamic scum head on, yet NOBODY else in that pub joined in. Not a one thought to pick up a chair/table, throw glasses/bottles, NADA. Their first instinct was to RUN AWAY (said in Monte Python voice). They were becoming pussified back when we were there, but its on steroids now. Damn shame.
“…we few, we noble few…”
…and none of us…from Milwall.
I don’t know if it’s a sign of the times, but fleeing from these kinds of situations is exactly what we’re being taught. In the Army.
Seriously, the protocol dictates to first try to run, and if that’s not possible, to hide. Finally, if being a coward didn’t work, you should grab whatever’s around you and fight back. But only as a final option.
I imagined past soldiers from Patton all the way back to Caesar rotating in their graves in disgust when I received that “training.”
In a way, I understand, given that the best fight is the one you never get in.
But if the fertilizer has hit the ventilator, a bad guy is trying to hurt innocents, and I have a way to stop him/them and save an innocent from harm, that is what I know I will try to do.
Just knowing me.
Yep…three “F’s” – Flee, Fortify, Fight in that order. How about arming us (I think we’re trained in the use of weapons????) and just change to one “E” – Engage
I think the F-F-F training is one of those “least common denominator” trainings where they assume everyone is as clueless as a modern Hollywood star. Or D-list actor.
From a lawyer’s standpoint it makes sense. If you teach your people to Engage, then the supervisors, managers, and owners have to ensure you are trained to safely engage.
Even in the military not everyone can be trained to be 11-B’s (or whatever the appropriate designator may be for the lesser branches) so we are back to a CYA legal maneuver that, in reality, is based on some good AARs for active shooters.
We went through one where I work where one of the training videos showed what happened at Columbine, how the training of the LEOs at the time worked against them in that scenario, and how that changed training.
AARs show that there are fewer casualties from an active shooter scenario in a civilian setting when people get the heck out of Dodge ASAP – i.e. “Flee”. 2nd safest for those in a civilian setting is “Fortify” – keep the shooters out of your area. 3rd is then “Fight”.
Again – this is for the majority of the population.
Those with combat training (military or LEO) can effectively behave differently, but no one should doubt that a trained response team is going to be better than a solo operator in any shooting event.
That is, there is logic in the 3F training, it is not just made up from thin air. But circumstances and training can vary greatly so that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
The three F’s are what the State of WA teaches to their gov’t employees. That along with putting up signs that identify the “hide/safe rooms” (HONEST TO GAWD, I had to go to the HQ in Olympia to see it to believe it…).
However, prior to our “active shooter” training in the eastern Washington field offices; the folks in Olympia sent out an email saying that we were NOT To Hurt the “shooter”. Huh us hurt the Risk Management dude who was supposed to be shooting us? WTF. My boss asked me not to freeze my paintball gun ammo…
The Millwall guy has big brass ones!
Hehe… and I’ve been accused of being the only ass who freezes his paintballs.. glad to hear I’m in good company
Actually, I’ve seen a story, http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/lets-celebrate-the-heroes-of-london-bridge/19930, Lots of folks went back at them…Bakers, Bouncers, Skateboarders, Lot’s of folks. Just normal “I’ve had enough” people. Ironically, it doesn’t fit the MSM narrative so these other stories didn’t make the front page. Skateboarder, Ignacio Echeverría, died attacking them with his skate board.
He didn’t take on one he took on three! If taking on three guys armed with knives isn’t the definition of ballsy I don’t know what is.
Of course it would have been smarter to have a hasty weapon in hand, brothers at your back and help on the way but one does what one can.
Forgive my ignorance – What does I’m Millwall mean?
I understand the context in the attack, I just have no idea who or what Millwall is.
It’s the name of a professional football club in London. Apparently with a rather rabid fan base.
They have both football (soccer) and rugby, and from what I understand, are not popular with other clubs. A blue-collar area of London, brash and proud of who they are despite scorn from the others.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millwall
Think ‘soccer hooligans’ and you have a pretty good idea of the fan base. They’re “enthusiastic.”
Kinda like 70’s “South Side Pittsburgh”. Rough men from rough circumstances.
“No One Likes Us,We Don’t Care “
It would be like one of us saying FU I’m Notre Dame! Or FU, I’m Green Bay!
They better give Roy a lifetime supply!
What a way to toast a guy!
Nicely done! any word on if it’s being imported to the states?
You run around my old neighborhood with a knife you would get laughed at just before they stuck it up your ass.
Specially interrupting drinking time.
Now that is a beer if sent over here will be found in decent quantity for company on the boat this summer…
Sad……..just 1 armed law abiding citizen could have sent all the terrorists to their 72 virgin goats.
I lube my cast bullets with bees wax and pig lard( aka…Terrorist Kryptonite)
They could have saved theirselves if it werent for British Gun Control.
you’re wasting your time; inadvertent or externally caused contact doesn’t affect their shot at heaven, virgins, etc. Allah understands the involuntary nature of it, I am told.
Animal fat, be it pig, cow or hippo….is a vital compenent of unjacketed bullet lube.
I just like the thought of polluting a terrorists body on the way out.
Kinda like pissing on their grave before they are buried 🙂
And it causes NASTY, NASTY infections to boot!
Only if your shot placement is off, just sayin’…..
Lard/tallow bullet lube DID actually start a war……1857 Sepoy Mutiny.
An interesting topic to research.
I myself like to put a dab of bacon grease in the tip of every hollow point round loaded in the weapon I like to carry concealed. For the truly devoted there is Silver Bullet Gun Oil which is made with 13% rendered pig fat, google it!
I like your thinking Infidel 🙂
You bet! Silver Bullet Gun Oil is the only way to go…..!
Bacon! Is there nothing it cannot improve?
Proper response to the “active shooter” or other terrorist is an immediate and vigorous -overwhelming- attack. Any willing and able sorts, just go full dogpile. Give them -no- chance to adapt or adjust. No mercy, no pity, no holdback.
You were dead the moment they stepped into the room. Your remaining existence can be expended in terror, in flight, or in -attack. The prize is the survival of everyone not engaged becasue -you- were engaged. And the lives you save may count your own.
The terrorist, including the psycho mass killer, wants you -cowed-, terrified, helpless, and then dead, so -they- can have some sort of ego boost. -Deny- them their goal and you have already defeated them. Attack them from the moment of contact and they are almost totally unprepared.
it is one of the few times in our society that the “rough man” can truly let slip the leash, so why be restrained? The terrorist will show neither mercy nor pity. Offer no quarter, in kind.
Response is “AAA”. Attack. Attack. Attack.
Be the Cape Buffalo. If you can still distinguish the terrorist from the ground, keep goring and stomping.
You are right. Those brave American lads on vacation on the French train two years ago proved that when they charged the shooter.
Per this article, it is only available locally in Sweden now, but the brewery is getting a demand for it from the UK and may take it there.

If you really want it, you could probably call Binny’s Beverage Depot, and ask about it. It’s a Swedish product, but they import stuff from everywhere, including the UK.
In Texas, it could be that Spec’s Liquor could get it for you.
Brewed in Sweden?!? Obviously for export only. Wouldn’t want to offend the culturally enriching migrants, you know. I expect the label will be illegal soon.
4F; Find em, Fix em, Fuck em, Fuck em, again.
The original meaning of the 4f’s.
Pretty funny.
Though I am not sure how the stunted development “adults” that get offended by swear words will take it.
I myself would buy a case of it JUST to make sure I sample a plentiful quantity before rendering a critique. The name is one I find very cool and I also enjoy drinking Arrogant Bastard Ale, something I consider named after me!
Were you trolling somewhere else where naughty words are anathema? They certainly are not in this forum.
But it is -very- hard to take your complaints seriously, when you say you do -not- want to be called “Commie”, yet sign yourself with the title of a political hack of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. There is even the built-in irony of “Commi-ssar”.
“Don’t call me Commie” – Commissar
