lol! This post is more offensive to people of South London than anything Simon could have said to them.

I've posted elsewhere. They're an offshoot of the established crew Unity UK, who were on Got to Dance. United we Stand aren't as good and that was a dull routine but their choreographer is good and Simon was wrong to slag him off.

Well put it this way ........ criticising a middle aged couple who came from Surrey ........ or this lot ........ who would you rather risk criticising?

But those United kids are the well behaved sort who go to college rather than roam the streets looking for trouble.

At the auditions I didnt realise United We Stand were actually Unity UK, and I got really confused when I read that Unity UK were on tonight. I was wondering where their choreographer and lead dancer, and their guy that does most of their stunts, because I remembered them off Got To Dance and just got quite confused. But yeah you cleared it up thanks. Unity UK were fantastic on gtd, choreo in particular. United We Stands audition on bgt was very good actually but their semifinal wasnt as good. But Simon was completely stupid to say they should sack their choreographer just based on that one performance.

Cowell has a bodyguard plus I doubt he hangs around those parts anyway.

Yep, it shows Simon isn't as smart as is made out. In the audition, he obviously knew about their origin and gave them over-the-top praise (best since Diversity etc...) for what was a very short routine. It was as if he'd spoken to Ashley Banjo about them beforehand. Yet on the semi, he says 'sack the choreographer' who he thought was originally so good. Pah!

I'm from Peckham, SE London and know many of the crew members of uws. Most of them are very good and hardworking.

Individually they are very talented but I do agree that they did lot of mistakes and routine was not breath taking!

Ha, good luck. I very much doubt any of you would know my turf on the mean streets of Tunbridge Wells.

Ooh get you, Mr Posh Git living in Stockbroker belt! I bet the only mean thing that ever happens in TW is when someone starts cutting their lawn with a noisy ride-on mower too early on a Sunday morning and upsets the neighbours!
