In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Wow, Labour guy is on fire. Maybe the shadow cab isn't doomed.
Chris Bryant is an excellent public speaker, can see him getting into government in a top position eventually.
Yeah, stupid question. Even those wanting us to take more will say of course not.
You're fine, it's the right who get shot down on redcafe.
He's awful. Really cheap jibe about bankers, which is a bit rich given Labour's record of cosying up to the City under Blair.
He's lightweight compared to Ken Clarke- his library cut is just sweeping crap. Yanis's views on QE being wrongly seen as a means of improving productivity. It was however wrongly thought it would go straight into the real economy rather than shore up banks balance sheets.
No mention of pig-gate yet. Do you reckon the BBC has deliberately chosen to duck it?
Good man
Agree that it was a silly jibe, but it was made with him fully conscious that the crowd would lap it up
Not by me in fairness -- I have no problem with Tory voters. I just disagree with them on lots of things. Some very sensible and nice people though.
Exactly, he's getting away with these jibes and seems competent. I was expecting a member of Corbyn's shadow cabinet to be scarcely capable of speech.
Wonder how it'll be brought up. "Should we be concerned that our prime minister got his dick into a pig's mouth like?"
That UKIP woman is an embarrassment
I like the fact that it's been ignored, it's populist nonsense driven by a Lord with an axe to grind. However, the revelations regarding Cameron's awareness of Ashcroft's tax status are very important and should be raised.
Brought it up in another thread, but the junior doctor thing is not fear mongering from the left. I'd say a good 60-70% of us are planning to leave in a year or two, it's not even a question.
That's everything that's wrong with this programme and sadly what this show has descended into.
The some of my best friends are Tories defence!
Bryant's growing on me- nice bit of banter with that woman and he has a bit of personality and a sense of humour- may not agree with his policies but he is personable. Am on a delay remember, so am on the Defra/meat bit right now. Yeah that pension guy tanked btw!
Yeah, I think there will be an exodus as you imagine it, due to time doctors have to work in this country comparative to other countries where the hours are less and the pay is just as good, or better.
We need a definitive answer on the skull fecked it to ejaculation or just dangled his shrivelled, flaccid cock in it.
The non-dom issue is surely not new though, really? He's lived in Belize in for yonks hasn't he?
My mate studied medicine back in the 90s and the same issue of their ridiculous hours has been around for at least two decades from my limited personal experience tbf.
Also known as the "My Manc mate" defence.
Being personable is one of the most important things in politics. People may know little about you, but if they like you you can go far. Look at that feckwit BoJo for a good example, Farage too.
What would be new is that the Prime Minister lied, on record, over the issue. That's what Corbyn highlighted, and for good reason.
My junior doctor mate argument too. Lost touch but he stuck with it and was a consultant last I heard.
BoJo amuses people at least, which rightly or wrongly appeals to some. Agreed about the importance of being personable though- was the downfall of John Redwood's challenge. I've actually interviewed him and he is fine tbf, albeit I was interviewing him about the economic outlook, rather than on something thorny like the NHS or immigration.
Playing devil's advocate, it is possible he didn't know the exact ins and outs of his domicile details- not exactly an opening convo gambit, albeit if he didn't, he probably should't have. Amazing how Ashcroft is now a gospel source rather than a shady bugger himself.
You didn't answer- what do you make of Ken Clarke? If it wasn't for his EU stance, he would've been a great leader for the Conservatives.
Anyone watching This Week? I'm liking this woman.
I've never disliked Clarke. I thought he should have been leader when Cameron ran circa 05 or whenever that was. He's a serious politician. EU is a very sticky issue for the Tories though.
Yeah, agreed, but sadly it was a deal-breaker. It's sad, he was meant to be the keynote speaker at one of my company's conferences earlier this year but had to cancel because his wife had gone into a coma- she died shortly afterwards. Selfishly, I was looking forward to meeting and interviewing him.
I don't know. If the conversation's attributed to Cameron in that book are accurate it hints a lot, that he definitely did know what he was doing. Again, the veracity of Ashcroft is what needs to be decided. Easy to dismiss it, so can't see Cameron getting too worried over it. Good stuff for Corbyn though.
Am a big Andrew Neil fan. Nice Diane Abbott/Corbyn penetrative sex-gate reference in the intro. Finally the pig gets a mention!
That bloke comparing his 10 quid with the economy of the country
It was fecking ridiculous. Like lecturing people on how to get CERN working again by talking about how you fixed your kid's Scalextrics set.
The second pig reference was quite good too
Jacob Rees-Mogg is a bit sinister.
Definitely. He should've been a bond villain rather than a politician. But then, who would we base bond villains on?
the constant pig references in this report! Oh my!He's clearly a very intelligent bloke, but not exactly a man of the people. Always quite liked Alan Johnson, even if I don't always/often agree with him.
He's putting me off my Frazzles!
EDIT:
He's having a field day here.I think my favourite was "It's late now, dead pig's head kind of late"He's clearly a very intelligent bloke, but not exactly a man of the people. Always quite liked Alan Johnson, even if I don't always/often agree with him.
He's putting me off my Frazzles!
EDIT:
I would like to bring in this post I made some time ago in another thread and make reference to it:
To carry on the theme, why on earth would someone on the panel of Question Time actually do this WHILST MEANT TO BE HAVING A DEBATE! The fcuking show is for debates you plebian dullards, not a platform for the declaration of a debate. Seven hells!

This also pisses me off.
Julia Hartley-Brewer. I can't put my finger on it but she fills me with complete disgust every time she's on this show. Why do they always have to have an awful person on the panel?
Dimbleby: How would you solve the conflict in Syria?
Politics Student in his Dads suit: *shits self*
Loved it when they ribbed Suzanne about her shadow cabinet.Get the feeling that Ukip have had their moment and will struggle this time round.
Charlotte fecking Church! What the feck does she know about anything?
Think she's doing quite well.
The worst thing about politicians who are in favour of nuclear weapons is that when they're asked to explain a situation when they'd use them (which is fair enough), they always give a really vague answer that they'd do it to protect people etc. Granted, I'm not expecting them to say, "We'll bomb Russia.", but seriously, if you're going to criticise someone else for refusing to use them, at least try and outline a situation in which you would.
