Lee joins Zander [Leeds United] and Aido [Manchester United] to discuss the first league encounter in many years between the old rivals. Zander gives a potted history of the clash going all the way back to the War of the Roses between the counties of Yorkshire and Lancaster. He wants to correct himself on one important historical point, the first game between Leeds United and Man United was 1923, not 1906 We discuss incidents between the fans, the positive reaction of both to the players 'taking the knee' but also a couple of incidents of questionable behaviour and chants between the supporters. Homophobia was also an unfortunate feature in a couple of matches last weekend and the lads comment on that and how we might find ways of stamping it out along with racism. Hope you enjoy our second podcast.

Danny Dyer of Eastenders and Football Factory fame explains why the people of London's East End rose up to defend their community against Mosley's Blackshirts in 1936.

After WW2 Sir Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts - aka the British Union of Fascists (BUF) - made several attempts to revive the fascist movement. They were met at every turn by working class anti-fascists, many of them war veterans who had seen at first hand the horrors of Hitler's Nazism & Mussolini's brand of fascism. 'Never Again' was their pledge.

The story of the Jewish ex-servicemen who returned from fighting the Nazis in World War 2 only to find that the British Union of Fascists [BUF] under the leadership of Sir Oswald Mosley was once again trying to organise and recruit to the fascist cause. They decided that they would organise to stop the menace of fascism, by any means necessary.
