Man United fans say ‘enough is enough' ahead of new protest
The protest will take place on 17 August, marching to Old Trafford before the Premier League opener against Arsenal, with banners reading 'Jim Can't Fix This'.
The group criticises the Glazers' two decades of ownership and their 'debt mountain', stating that 'enough is enough'.
They accuse Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who acquired a 28.94 per cent stake and operational control in February, of being 'complicit' in the club's ongoing issues by aligning with the Glazers.
Ratcliffe previously indicated in March that he would consider leaving if he faced the same level of abuse directed at the Glazer family.

Egyptian failed asylum seeker drowned attempting to jump onto ship travelling to Canada at British port, inquest told
A failed asylum seeker from Egypt drowned after he attempted to jump onto the ramp of a ship at Southampton docks in a bid to travel to Canada, an inquest has heard. Walid Gomaa, who was denied asylum status when he arrived in the UK in 2021, had told a friend he intended to travel across the Atlantic after living illegally in the UK for four years. The 36-year-old Egyptian national was spotted by members of the crew of the 200-metre MV Tannhauser attempting to board the vehicle-transporter ship which was due to sail to Halifax, Canada. Mr Gomaa was said to be trying to reach the ramp's finger-flaps - articulated extensions at the end of the vessel - as it was being raised ahead of sailing, the Winchester inquest was told. The operator paused the raising and saw Mr Gomaa walk away, but as they started lifting up the ramp again, the asylum seeker ran and jumped towards the ramp despite a crew member shouting at him to stop. Mr Gomaa then hit his head and fell into the sea at Empress Dock at the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal, where he drowned before a rescue boat could reach him on April 28 this year, the inquest heard. Coroner Jason Pegg said: 'Mr Gomaa attempted a second time, warnings were shouted to Mr Gomaa but he continued despite the warnings. 'Mr Gomaa jumped off the jetty towards the vessel. On this occasion Mr Gomaa was not able to grab hold of anything and fell towards the water between the jetty and the vessel itself.' The inquest heard a post-mortem examination found the cause of death was drowning, which resulted from a head injury and a fall into the water. Mr Pegg said a friend contacted police after Mr Gomaa had not been in contact and said Mr Gomaa had told him he planned to travel to Canada. The coroner said that when the friend asked how he was going to get there, Mr Gomaa replied: 'Do not worry about it.' The coroner added: 'Mr Gomaa came to the UK in 2021 and was not given status in this country and disappeared for a period of time. 'He initially claimed asylum, but that was denied in 2021 and it was not until April 2025 that Mr Gomaa raised his head again.' In a message to Mr Gomaa's family in Egypt who did not attend the hearing, Mr Pegg said: 'I do give my condolences to Walid Gomaa's family and friends and they have my best wishes.'

Stables boss who had sex with underage girl ‘offered her family £50k to drop charges'
An equestrian boss who had sex with an underage girl offered her family £50,000 to drop the charges, a court heard. Guy Simmonds, 37, and fellow rider Lauren Jarvis, 26, plotted the threesome with the schoolgirl. The pair then agreed to a 'pact of silence' about the sex session, which took place after horse-riding lessons. Cardiff Crown Court heard the pair had 'no doubt at all' that the schoolgirl was under 16 – and vowed to keep it secret. James Hartson, prosecuting, said: 'At all times, he knew how old she was and so did Jarvis. The victim told him herself in one of the very first messages she sent him. 'They didn't care about her age when they were planning and engaging in a so-called threesome with the victim. 'They also knew what they did was wrong and they agreed a pact of silence when they got wind she had started to talk about it.' The court heard Simmonds bragged he was a 'top showjumper' after targeting the underage girl on Facebook. Mr Hartson said there was a 'clear element of grooming behaviour' from Simmonds before the sex took place in Jarvis's home in January last year. In one message read to court, the girl asked Simmonds what he would make her do and he replied: 'You will both do what daddy says. It will be fun.' Simmonds later messaged Jarvis saying: 'Hey, I have a feeling that she has said about us. If anyone asks, for sake of both of us nothing ever happened that night xx.' Jarvis replied: 'Hey, who's she told? Oh god has she really, what's she trying to do, make our lives hell? Of course I will xx.' The court heard Simmonds told police he did not have any form of sexual contact with the victim. But he made calls to his mother from prison instructing her to pay the victim's 'fickle' family £50,000 to drop the charges. He said: 'There is £20,000 in my account. Just f-----g give it to them. I don't care. £20,000 now and then £10,000 a year for three years.' Simmonds claimed he had been given permission to 'stray' from his partner Rebecca Dimes, 34, on the condition she 'did not want to know anything about it'. Jarvis claimed any messages about a threesome were 'banter and a wind-up'. Simmonds, of Undy, Gwent, and Jarvis, of Newport, were both found guilty by a jury of sexual activity with a child. Simmonds was found not guilty on five other charges of sexual activity with a child relating to the same victim. Judge Lucy Crowther adjourned the case for sentencing on Sept 29.

The British state must trust its people
It is curious to see how the ability of Britain's executive to govern the country waxes and wanes. When it comes to releasing prisoners early to avoid overcrowding, the Government finds the levers of power at its fingertips. When the discussion is around the disclosure of the nationality and immigration status of suspects, however, the best that Home Secretary Yvette Cooper can apparently offer is to ask 'the Law Commission to accelerate its review'. A cynic might think that this non-committal approach indicates a Government more comfortable with maintaining a tight grip on the flow of information in controversial cases, rather than in trusting the public to behave responsibly when given access to the truth. As the Southport riots among other events demonstrated, however, the maintenance of an official information vacuum creates room for rumours and misinformation to spread, sometimes with tragic consequences. And as we have seen, also, with the attempts to cover up the grooming gangs scandal, and the mass airlift of Afghans into Britain, that the long-term effect of this approach is to utterly destroy trust in the state institutions engaging in these efforts. This is all the more so given the apparent willingness of agencies to release information when it can assist in shaping a narrative. When a car crashed into crowds in Liverpool earlier this year, Merseyside Police decided to disclose that the arrested man was a white British national. Indeed, this same willingness means that non-disclosure of available information is now taken by some as an indication of a non-white British background. It is understandable that Britain's politicians are ill at ease with the country that they have helped to create, and its attendant social strains and tensions. It is true, also, that a lack of trust in the public has marked both Labour and Conservative governments; while the Tories are now demanding an official investigation into the Whitehall 'spy' unit monitoring social media sentiment over migrant hotels, it should be remembered that this same unit was established under a Conservative government, and deployed to monitor critics of its lockdown policies. Ultimately, however, the principles of democratic government demand that citizens are kept informed and that the state acts with their consent, rather than attempting to reshape public opinion to its liking.
