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.

Society has always been unequal, but it is this generation who are the beneficiaries of one of the most generous social covenants in the world - previous generations did not get anything close or even dream of getting the life chances that kids get now. There are people in their fifties who were born into slums, I'm sure they would have loved housing benefit for a decent home or a student loan to get the chance to go to university - but they didn't and they got on with it.

2nd from the right is well seated.
Apart from when they rioted themselves, you mean?
I know you're barely out of your teens but you seem intent on a career in politics, so should really brush up on your history.
iSparky trying to make the most of a bad situation?
The army should have been already brought in, just shoot the feckers!
If its possible to lead a virtuous life but less likely, what factors make it less likely for some as opposed to others?
Blaming society puts the locus of control totally outside the individual.
Tell people who come from bad areas that they're not responsible, that its 100% societies fault and they're more likely to adopt that attitude and fail to recognise that society has many levels and the best way to ensure a successful society is to recognise and accept your responsibility to your family, your local community and as a result greater society.
That doesn't mean you can't be pissed off that you have nothing while others are on easy street but it may stop people destroying their local communities.
Look at people and attitudes during the blitz, many who went through it welcomed the sense of community involvement it evoked, everyone working together towards a common good rather than each being out for their own and robbing their neighbours. We've all heard it referred to as the best of times and the worst of times..... how much harder would it have been had people just blamed the government and not come to terms with prospering in the worst scenario you can imagine.
It's funny you should mention them as the Baby Boom generation, the feeling of entitlement when every advert has been aimed at them and is still aimed at them since their birth. And why would they want a student loan when they had it free? And they still rioted too.
I realise what I said might not be quiet what you meant.
You can't be serious?
Maybe if you had read the article you quoted, it was a racism thing. Plus it did not spread across wide parts of the city as a chance to burn random buildings, vehicles, and loot whatever you can get your hands on.
All London football matches called off apparently
Eh? What's with the straw man?
Where did I say that society is 100% responsible, or that individual responsibility doesn't come into it at all?
West Ham game is cancelled, England game will be off as well I think.
Let's just all feel a bit more sorry for young people who grow up on estates and try to properly understand why they are not looting books shops but Curry's and Footlockers.
I'm taking a coach from London Victoria to Manchester tomorrow morning, and am getting the coach from Basildon to Victoria prior to this.
Am I gonna be safe, then?
I have no idea where London Victoria actually is, so forgive the ignorance if it is nowhere near the action.

They had it free but how many went to university? How many had the chance to do A-Levels? How many left school at 15 and then when it was raised to 16?
The housing stock in the cities into the sixties still contained more than their fair share of slums, there were next to no benefits at all.

Just wear a hood and balaclava, you'll be fine.
No injuries!

You *should* be OK. It's a pretty central area, and there won't be any trouble in the morning
I might join in, actually. I need a TV for uni next year.

Victoria is in Westminster, it is very close to Buckingham Palace.
Holy shit if these rioters have fecked up United's chance of stealing Sneijder after the match at Wembley I'm going to go and solve this the only way AdZz knows how.
By bringing the drama like a fecking Shakespearean hurricane.

Time for GSC to go and kick the shit out of these youths for fecking up their footy.
A racism thing?
Going out on a limb here but there seems to be a bit of a common theme between the riots today and those from 30 years ago.
That's not my point though. I was challenging your absurdly nostalgic drivel about everyone aged over 50 spending their lives as model citizens, despite enduring terrible hardship.
Reports of tigers roaming through Primrose Hill. That's literally 30 seconds from where my Auntie lives.
To be honest, that really does look like one.
Question is how the feck did it get there?
Maybe this is an alien (not those ones tb) invasion?
Some of my mates been kept on at work.
Been on since 1300 hours, meant to finish at 2300 hours and are now have to stay on until 0700.

All you've pointed to is the discrepency between the have's and have nots Pogue, how its growing up in ghettos that is the root cause of the attitudes that are being displayed.
Also what was it's connection with Mr Duggan?
What happens if they refuse?
Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you there. These people aren't rioting because of lack of opportunities, they are rioting because they where promised that they would all be rich and they won't. They are materialistic hence the theft, they don't know why they hate the world which is the case for a lot of people.
Stop playing Werewolf games and get your gear!
(I'm guessing you're not a London cop)
Ok yeah, well I stand by that.
It's not the only cause but it shouldn't be brushed under the carpet with sniffy comments about immigration or claims that this would never have happened back in t'day.
