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.
BBC site saying 'Police bottled by large group of white males in #Eltham in southeast London. Situation under control. NOT a riot.'
Massive police presence in eltham now
BBC News? Whos that pillock from mancunia?
It is at a similar level to the UK and US but Japan is a very moralistic country with very low crime rates - the poor therefore live in more amicable environments than they do here on in the US.
They have a very strict legal code, prisons are horrendous by our standards and the police are quasi independent to enforce the law. The ACLU and Liberty would go crazy but the Japanese people live in a liberal democracy and voted for the Liberal Party of Japan for fifty years straight.
Dolston Turks been defending their property too, I see...
Is the same party for 50 years actually democracy though? It's suspicious to say the least.
Even the yanks vote for a new family once every couple of generations.
What's liverpool like tonight? On a stag this weekend
Turning into a race thing now. Apparently its kicking off in lewisham now. Apparently.
Does everyone expect the football to go ahead this weekend then?
I think it will now, having had a quiet night and with the decision due tomorrow. Well timed bit of rain, that.
If tonight's a bit more quiet then yes.
Also, those matches which have gone ahead, including in Leeds and Notts, have been fine, and the cricket's gone ahead with no probs.
An aside that occurred to me when thinking about the internationals which went ahead... how come there doesn't seem to have been a hint of trouble in Scotland or Wales?

Maybe they woke up at 5pm, looked out the window and realised there is nothing worth looting?
I think you mean conservative. And I don't it's as conservative as it used to be...well according to Visitor Q and Takashi Miike that is.
A ery moralistic country that have soiled girls knickers vending machine.
My cousin says there's trouble again at the Morrisons where he works in Handsworth close to West Brom. Maybe our fixture might get cancelled.
Someone raised the question about why it hadn't kicked off in Glasgow, a city known for deprivation and violence.
Someone then raised the valid counter-point that Glasgow was the city where a burning suicide bomber got punched in the face.
I used to think that was a myth till a mate of mine sampled some for himself. By moralistic, I think Bryan means anti-immigration.
So what do people think about the vigilantes that were seen on the news?
2 murdered 5mins from my house sky breaking news, is not riot related though.
Que?
Every credit, hopefully they'll invite folk of every background to join them, and stick together.
Outside there shops and homes then maybe a good idea, but when there is gangs of them roaming round, not good , they are just looking for trouble and not doing any good at all
Anyone around the lewisham/catford area?
Middle aged thugs V Teenage thugs.From what i saw on Sky News they looked very sinister.
Sangat back in B'ham at a peaceful protest, lighting candles for the 3 murdered yesterday. Only thing I'm confused about is they're lighting candles at a petrol station ain't that dangerous.....?
Nice messages from that artist and good to see people from all communities and colours acting appropriately and peacefully.
that Oliver guy looks well pissed off
It's not like it's just one person holding a candle, was quite a lot as of people aswell.I assume the last time this happened, a commission was set up and there were findings and a report?
what happened.
what happened.
Some of the crap people come up with is astonishing, Japan is a country entrenched in morals, and I have no problem with immigration.
Great scenes of unity on Sangat TV.
They're very angry that David Cameron hasn't been down to B'ham considering there's been 3 murdered.
That shopped, or? :|
English Defence League now causing problems in Eltham, south-east London according to The telegraph
London riots: vigilantes hurl bottles at police in Eltham - Telegraph

Lots of anger in the Birmingham community where the lads died. People are upset at police tactics and why the this wasn't stopped when it broke out in Tottenham. Also anger at PM, MPs, councillors & larger broadcasters for failing to communicate with their community.
They seem very angry but keep saying they are not there to riot, start race-riots or cause violence - they just want results.

Hopefully tensions wont spill over in the community
