In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
As all this goes on the Cops are trying to deal with the every day to day Policing of the City too.
All those domestics, assaults, rapes, missing persons, robberies, suicidal people and other crimes don't all just vanish whilst this goes on.

true, but there were witnesses and I am sure one was quoted as saying the police kept telling him to drop the weapon but he didn't
Sky are also saying that Lavender Hill has had shops looted
Some parents just won't give a shit, others will have tried no doubt. But there's only so much they can do at the end of the day.
probably get attacked by idiots if they tried to put it out
why has it took him so long , he is only in mainland Europe he should be on a flight NOW
It could be his Sunny Jim moment where he flies in looking tanned and says Crisis? What crisis?
That's racist.
Yes. I'd have joined in....I've always wanted to take part in one these types of events. I'm all for people seeing and taking.
where on earth is Lavender Hill. Sounds like the last place for a riot!!
Free stuff and a chance to take a crack at the Old Bill......who wouldn't want to join in.
I think it is near Clapom Junction , I thought it was only on an old ealing film.
He has a late table booked for tonight.
Cameron is chairing a COBRA meeting?
If anyone's in Croydon at the mo...please can you nick me a dreambox and 3DTV?
it really is a joke , why is he waiting , who is advising him to wait .He should be in the air now and the COBRA meeting should be ASAP after he has landed.
Send in the Army and shoot the feckers.
The army are all busy in the middle east.
... and does anyone think that might be the problem?
You can bet if the police rolled in and started knocking seven bells out of those responsible the parents would be the first to complain.
I'm going to hide in the one safe place. The local jobcentre.
I bet they don't burn the dole office down.
edit - do they still have the dole offices?

I'd say Cameron is secretly delighted.
At least no ones talking about Rupert Murdoch anymore.

I cannot get over this. The fires in Croydon are beyond belief
Scumbags the lot of them.
If that's the youth that England has to look forward to then your fecked.
It's like some serious shit that goes on in the Middle East there. I can't believe what I'm watching.

It wouldn't surprise me if there is a serious move to ban hoodies and face masks after this, there was a desire in Parliament following the student protests last year to do it.
Whats a cobra meeting?
Ban hoodies 
Me neither. It's a form of public disorder that I feel is beyond the control of the police - and that's pretty scary
I am hoping and praying that Camberwell is not hit. It's quite distressing. All the targeted places are extremely near me
Cabinet Office Briefing Room A
Some lovely coffee and biscuits and a bit of a chat about all the naughtiness.
A bit like a Joe meeting, only more sinister.
Ban hoodies
It will be all the talk in Portcullis House in September.
When the riot happened in Los Angeles in the early 90s, the rioters were setting fires to lure in firemen and police, who they would then attack. Pretty common tactic in this situation, I believe.
Somebody needs to shop David Camerons face onto this.
Problem solved!
