This week we take orders from The Producer and Q up the 2011 Made for TV British Film UNITED Directed by James Strong and written by Chris Chibnall, It is based on the true story of Manchester Unitedâs âBusby Babesâ and the aftermath of the 1958 Munich air disaster, with the filmâs events taking place between August 1956 and May 1958. In particular, the film focuses on the experiences of assistant manager Jimmy Murphy, played by David Tennant, and Bobby Charlton, played by Jack OâConnell.
Largely filmed around the North East of England, the film was first broadcast on 24 April 2011 on BBC. The series gained a 14.3% rating in its time slot and was generally very well received by television critics.
But the question is, what did we think? We also conclude with our Top 3 Movie Catastophes â or our interpretation of it.

The End of Journalism in Ukraine. A Feature interview with Anatoly Sharij
May 8, 2015, 3:35 p.m.
Continuing with coverage of Ukraine on the anniversary of the May 2, 2014 Odessa massacre, we hear an interview with Anatoly Sharij, a high profile Ukrainian journalist forced to flee the country in 2012 and now based in Lithuania. He has found himself targetted for his success in posting critical videos of the Ukrainian government line, and exposing the lies put out by the Ukrainian media.
In this exclusive interview, conducted with the assistance of Winnipeg-based Russian-Canadian Konstantin Goulich, we hear about the extent to which true journalism in Ukraine has been suppressed and replaced by pure propaganda, the reasons why skepticism, even of some critical voices of the Kiev regime is needed, and echoes of a past repressive period in history of the region.
This interview is followed by a clip from a recent presentation by Robert Parry of Consortium News about the unprecedented Media Group Think that is afflicting coverage of the Ukraine situation.

Paul Butler was an ambitious federal prosecutor, a Harvard Law grad who gave up his corporate law salary to fight the good fight, until one day he was arrested on the street and charged with a crime he didnât commit. Paul talked about how ordinary citizens interact with the justice system, and examined the systemâs overall strengths and weaknesses.
Paul's analysis is grounded in the radical notion that the government should respect people's right to be secure in their persons and property, a right formerly enshrined in the Fourth Amendment. Even more fundamentally, he argues that we should re-embrace freedom in this country in ways that range from not incarcerating nonviolent offenders to decriminalizing drugs. Our prisons have made our lives more dangerous by serving to indoctrinate nonviolent offenders in the ways of violent crime. Not only are we squandering lives that might otherwise be productive, but we are also creating a contempt for law not seen since Prohibition and extending police power in a manner not consistent with a free society. Paul is interviewed by Peter Slen of C-Span.

Victory Day 70: Celebrating the defeat of Fascism
May 8, 2015, 5:53 a.m.
Svetlana Thomas explains how the current war in Ukraine brought together the Russian-Canadians who immigrated from many countries to form the Russian Congress of Canada, which has spread from Toronto to all of Canada.
Thomas emphasizes Canada cannot be indifferent to what is going on in Ukraine now, nor Canada's role in the war. Passing on education, culture and tradition to the younger generations is necessary --they must never forget the "immortal regiment" who took down Nazi fascism.
The more culture that diverse groups bring to Canada, the more all benefit.
For event information, and more about the "immortal regiment" and the Russian Canadian organizing, go to http://russiancongresscanada.org and www.victoryday70.com

The Baltimore Uprising and Afro-Academic Schadenfreude
May 6, 2015, 9:04 p.m.
TheAngryindian speaks with San Francisco-based independent journalist and film-maker Rebecca Pierce (@aptly_engineerd / vimeo.com/weirdsistertv) about the 'Don't Judge Blacks Differently' video starring Chloe Valdary, a pro-Zionist American African student sponsored by Prager University: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl7Q36V9pg4&feature=youtu.be] and the problems it presents to general public comprehension of the multifaceted historical and legal issues that sparked the Baltimore Riots and subsequent uprising. The question is asked: What is the Jew of African descent to do when confronted with anti-African racialism; Revisionist Zionism; anti-Palestinian prejudice and the anti-cosmopolitan politics of right-wing/neo-Fascist People-of-Colour? Her answer is the best part of the show.
EXTRA: A historical sample of the mind-melting, Jew-hating, xenophobic non-logic of the late William Pierce, (absolutely no relation to our esteemed guest) the infamous author of the equally-infamous 'Turner Diaries', a virtual handbook for 'Lone Wolf' neo-Fascists that inspired the Oklahoma federal building attackers, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols (and anyone else that may have been involved).
