It was attended by people from all backgrounds, race, faith & globally. I met people whoโd flown in from Hong Kong, Nigeria, & the US. A hugely positive & international event. #ArsenalChampions
Whatever your view is of @AfenyoMarkin, one thing about him is that he is never one to shy away from making his voice known despite how unpopular it may be or even if it goes against the grain of popular view.
He's never one to back down from a fight or to shy away from his strong opinions even if he's the only one holding that opinion, I get it that it can be irritating at times.
But for a "political class" (to borrow one of Afenyo-Markin's favorite phrases) that is full of pretenders, that's quite honorable.
Itโs striking to see so many cameras capturing the balloons in this video, just as they did when celebrities came to share their condolences. A poignant reflection is that, during Beverlyโs struggles with health, not many in this industry checked in on our sister. A tough lesson for all of us: we arrive in this world alone, and we will leave alone, while the โcrowdโ gathers for the cameras. My heartfelt condolences go out to Beverlyโs family and her husband. We can't truly grasp the depth of your pain.
