And you still are, technically.

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.
I'm a Liverpool supporter, I've dealt with worse.
From what I can see most non-British are totally bemused by the whole thing, as are many of us too of course. Can't argue with laughing stock though, the cap fits I'm afraid.
On the plus side if we do remain I don't think the Tories as we know them would survive, a huge number of Tory voters would never vote Tory again.
I meant you are still in the EU.
Oh.I meant you are still in the EU.
Well yeah, but it feels like we're edging towards a no deal. I live in Toronto now so it's not going to impact me but it'd be nice to have a country to come home to one day.
Where did you find thisSo Brexit is their right and our duty. Hooooly cow, I wonder what kind of glue that bloke is sniffing to get these ideas
Can someone tell me where the mirror stands politically, I was looking for Maguire news and stumbled on this.
So you have no idea how trade deals work but you are a diabetic who isnt worried so nobody else should be? I would rather have the secure feeling that my life saving medicine is in guaranteed supply rather than hoping for the best it will be. Lets hope this does'nt bite you in the arse next year.
They are left wing. The tag line of the paper is 'the thinking tabloid'
Still a load of guff generally.I'd have thought everyone knew the Mirror was solid Labour. Although to be honest I haven't read it since that fat crook Maxwell took it down market and stole the pension funds. Before he got hold of it the Mirror was about the left's equivalent to the Mail, not quite broadsheet but more content than the Sun and Star. Maxwell wanted another Sun though.
It's staunchly left and I'd have it as the Mail of the left. The DM pretends it's an intelligent paper too- all the Mirror did was get rid of page 3 in a bid to be more 'upmarket'.
It makes me sad how very true that article is.
Theresa May is a T1 as well so that's somewhat reassuring for T1s in the UK.
Although, people should be more worried that the Tories will move towards a US healthcare model. Good luck to the ordinary Joe attempting to live comfortably with a long term illness in that scenario.
The conclusion is true too, it's far better if the UK leave and preferably without any "soft" deals. If in 20 years you want to comeback or if the EU doesn't exist, so be it. But we should never pretend that brexit didn't happen or that we can be friends with benefits.
I vaguely remember Cameron's son being disabled and using some govt program, which Cameron's govt nonetheless cut.
Yeah essentially left-wing tabloid.
I'm sure May would have her supply at the ready if things did go tits up. As always politicians often operating on a different playing field to the average person who's impacted by their actions.
Rich T1s at least
The Insulin story turned out to be BS, the company that provides them expects no shortages in a no deal exit.
link?
Good article, hes on the money on a lot of points.
Paul Whitehouse isn't pleased by the Greenpeace piece.
But that makes no sense either, the tiny amount that is produced in the UK will hardly have any effect and people talk as if, in the case that there are shortages they would only be temporary, not just of insulin. Yes the companies can have buffer stock, which is economically inefficient but for how long. It's as if there would be a few days of suffering and then everything will go back to normal. What?
The UK will just pay import duty and fast track medical trucks at the border. It's not a good outcome but it's not going to lead to people dying from lack of medicine as the initial story implied.
No dead bodies littering the streets? How disappointing, some of us had been looking forward to that.
And everything else presumably.
More or less. One likely scenario is Britain has to completely liberalise their border to imports (you can't selectively do it under WTO rules) which is one of the reasons the EU doesn't want taxes collected this side of the border.
So anything and everything can enter the UK without checks. Dumping, smuggling, illegal immigrants, arms etc will be rife. Just as well Brexiters want to control their borders.
Don't forget the documentation, VAT, Tariffs etc to be collected.
Trouble is those lorries that enter the UK have to come out again, and they will be checked on re-entering the EU.
I mean, that already happens and aside from illegal migrants the current levels of trafficking more than meet the demand so there's no reason to think they'll skyrocket.
But the Uk will be known as an easy target very quickly. At the moment they are answerable to the EU for collecting the correct taxes etc - afterwards they're only answerable to themselves. I thought illegal immigrants were important to Brexiters.
Plus if the UK allows goods in unchecked they'll never get a deal with the EU.
Says allot doesn’t it. Some just are in denial and the others have no grasp on reality. Yet they get to decide your future.
At least mdma prices might come down I guess?
