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.
If they can survive this, and avoid getting into a coalition... Maybe they'll make a comeback in 2022
Heathrow and Gatwick are seperated by 25 miles, albeit 25 miles with bodies of water, areas of outstanding natural beauty, hills, roads, towns and so on
25 miles in 15 minutes is 100 miles per hour, average. The fastest speed a London Underground train goes is the Metropolitan line at 60 miles per hour. However, the Eurotunnel top speed is over 180 miles per hour, and it could be argued that that was more directly comparable.
Maybe 15 minutes is unrealistic, but it's not in the realms of science fiction. The question is paying for it.
The Shanghai Maglev does 20 miles in 8 minutes. It's definitely possible but that cost over $1 billion in a country that doesn't have to worry about existing residents in the way and it has still has never made a cent in profit.
Still, you'd hope the technology has come on since that was built.

Just remembered that the boundary review would be enacted between this election and next.
Not a small one on the list of reasons it will be rather funny if the Tories lose their majority calling an election they didn't need to.
Seems Corbyn is winning over some UKIP voters.
I don't think that middle paragraph can be considered a controversial view? I'd assume that that's what most people in here are expecting.
That Captain Ska song is a genuine banger. So good.
If I recall correctly, you were one of those posters who would lament how supposedly weak and unelectable he was throughout the course of this thread.
For the older voters amongst us, has a campaign ever been run as badly as what the Conservatives have run over the last few weeks?
Presumably Sky News have raised a complaint at their footage being misused?
Saying that if the BBC can edit Corbyn's words you can't blame the Tories for trying.
Not a GE, but Zac Goldsmith's campaign for the Mayor of London was awful.
Michael Foot '83.
The Guardian view?
That in itself is reason not to take it serious.

I guess there must've been something about avocados in the manifesto.
The cheek of The Guardian.
Spent the last two years demeaning Corbyn and supporting the PLP's undermining of him and have now suddenly decided Corbyn's alright a deserves a chance.
Better late than never I suppose.

They're lib dem, think they've had to reluctantly abandon them after Farron's failures.
At least they're now doing the right thing
Eh? 2010 was the first time (and only time since) they didn't endorse fully Labour in decades.
They've always traditionally backed Labour, except in 2010 when they fell for the Clegg hype before he ceremoniously stuck two fingers back at their electorate.

If The Appeaser is up first in this Question Time thing tonight, Corbyn should just turn up during her segment. If she's second and he does it, she'll have the get out of clause of "I didn't do it to you"
I mean they've been leaning that way over the last year in their reporting not that they've always been lib dem.
Wait, they won't be doing it together? What the feck is this shit.
Same as last election, if I recall.
