I'm not talking about that event - which ended with Muslim residents having their shops and cars wrecked. Here are two links. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/luton-fights-back-against-rightwing-extremists-1695485.html http://straightshooters.blogspot.com/2009/05/moderate-muslims-drive-out-al.html No doubt they still won't have done enough in your or VFTP's eyes. They probably deserved to have their property damaged and their families threatened by white racists.

Neither the UAF nor the BNF/EDL were present in Luton. The idiots from al-muhajiroun were shouted down by local Muslims. Again, there are plenty of examples of Muslims taking action against extremists in a way that's far, far stronger than sitting anonymously behind a keyboard and moaning.

Did you not see who protested against al Muhajiroun in Luton? It was other Muslims from the town shouting them down. I'd also ask you you to re-read this thread because there are plenty of examples of Muslims taking action against extremism - some of them paying the ultimate price of being murdered, not just in this country, but in some of the most challenging and dangerous places in the world. I get the impression sometimes that this line about 'Muslims not doing enough' is trotted out without much thought or research.

Judging only from the mountain of reports coming out daily about The Last Days of Pompey, I can only assume that the club have managed to invent a form of social conduct previously unknown to humanity. Everyone making public statements from the boardroom seems to be a credulous liar. That is, while knowingly telling porkies, each board member believes unquestioningly every word uttered by other fibbing board members. It's head-spinningly WEIRD. And it's actually a good idea for a movie - or an ironic fairy tale with a very sad ending that sends everyone off to sleep happily.

Only on Saintsweb....

Yes, it's odd. There is no way that they will make it to the end of the season. Whatever the FA or PL wishes, there's the small matter of UK and EU company law.

It depends how cold you want to be. One of the great questions is what the Gulf Stream (or North Atlantic Drift) is going to do. If it's deflected, or fizzles out, we'll have roughly the same temperature as other places on the same latitude. So if you want a weather forecast for today, check out Labrador, on the same latitude, and -26.

I'm curious then - what was your source? The UN?

Exactly. They have Lens and a long list of agents to pay off. They will have less than nothing from that.

And yet 2000-2009 has been the warmest decade in recorded history. How very odd. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091208/ap_on_sc/climate

United's debt has actually RISEN by more than £100 million since Glazer took over. They are not in decline on the football pitch for nothing.

Can we have a countdown to 10 January, when 'we have answers to everything' Daniel Azougy has solemnly promised to 'pay all creditors' £40 million? (Like he promised a statement from Marc Jacob ' by the end of the day' yesterday.) And BTW, 10 January is a SUNDAY.

I think it would just be unfair not to show the contents of that last link in particular. So in the honourable tradition of Saintsweb public service, here's what it says: Fahim goes to Hollywood Having taken English football by storm, everyone's favourite non-billionaire, "His Excellency" Sulaiman al-Fahim, is now off to Hollywood. The man whose difficult-to-locate millions sent Portsmouth sailing closer to the edge before he sold 90% of the club to the so-far-so-successful Ali al-Faraj, claims he is somehow stumping up the cash for a movie. The film will be called Road to Darfur and, drawing on all his experience from the Gulf reality-TV hit Hydra Executives, Fahim is also going to act in his creation. "I play myself, a philanthropist," said the man whom, custom demands, we must describe as having been the Alan Sugar figure in Hydra Executives. I want people to see the real me, not what people have written about me. And not what people saw in my reality TV show." I think this is quite inspiring - and has made my day.

Bad trip.

Can we go back to that strip please, at least for a season?

It's something of a race now. Notts County are on their SECOND winding up order from Inland Revenue. I still think Pompey are ahead by a country mile though. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jan/04/notts-county Aren't we lucky the football authorities are so good at governance?

Must be having trouble finding a floppy disk drive.

I am concerned.

Did you just get in your van to turn the wheel a tiny bit?

We just need lifelongskate to make a bid and complete the circle. Doesn't that smug expat in the middle east know him?

Agreed. How utterly, thick-as-sh*t brain dead they both are.

So the 10% of Pompey's debts for which he is liable are being offloaded to the supporters. Brilliant!

From the TV money that the Prem distributes to the clubs.

Anyone can play that game. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/12/10/pakistan.arrests/index.html

No.
