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.
Dont bother with him he is a chicken on the subject
Not worry, once the food shortages hit, probably won't have many chickens left in Britain. All good.
Yep, it's nearly time for them to wheel out the inevitable 'Blitz spirit' show:
"EU rules meant that we couldn't afford chicken, so my hubby starved to death. Still, mustn't grumble - he came in handy afterwards as a draught excluder. Gawd bless Brexit!"
*does Cockney knees-up jig*

Don't hurry him. These things can take years or even decades.
Trade deals can be even worse.
It’s ok they can do street parties with big long tables and little Union Jack bunting. Yay!*
*as long as you’re not a Jonny foreigner, Irish or a dog
I'd really enjoy brexit - if i were brexit proof. Unfortunately i'm not. I have bills to pay, just like the rest of us. If i didn't (like the Tory toffs who came up with the idea), i'd sit back and laugh as the country goes to shit and the very idiots who voted for it are the ones who suffer the most.
Unfortunately i'm not brexit proof, nor is anyone else i care about.

There's nothing worse than meeting someone who comes across as perfectly normal and then subsequently finding out that they're the sort of person who organises those cnuting things.
This is exactly how I feel about it. I also know some people, better off than me, who would be quite happy to pay a £900+ Brexit tax. The bastards
The biggest Brexit demographic is the elderly in the countryside, they'll be fine. The biggest demographic against it was students and working people, who are set to take the biggest hit. This "they'll get what they deserve" sentiment is entirely misguided.
I guess he's thinking of the Nissan workers up in Sunderland etc...
I live overseas so won't be affected personally, but I do worry about all my friends and family, not to mention the UK is my country and I deeply care about it's future. I'm not sure it'd be as easy to enjoy it as you might think.
The problem is that, if things do go very badly (in other words, we crash out with no deal), it could get very ugly indeed. Nobody is going to admit they were a snake oil salesman or the dupe of a snake oil salesman and so the blame game will begin. The EU will be the number one villain for “punishing” the UK, while we can expect more “saboteur”, “stab in the back” type language against remainers. The likes of Bannon are already swarming around like flies on sh*t ready to exploit a nationalist backlash.
They are keeping May around so she can take the fall - it will all go on her shoulders (or at least they will do their best to make it like that)
She was a remainer what did she know about negotiating a positive hard Brexit.
Definitely - none of the Brexiteers want to take ownership of squaring a circle as it’s much easier to carp from the sidelines. But blaming May will be more of a Conservative leadership issue. If lorries are indeed backed up for 30 miles at Dover while the economy tanks, in general election terms the finger will be pointed at the EU (and, by implication, its fifth column in the UK).
Enough to be a Remainer.
What is a positive hard Brexit? What are the axes that you would need to get in order to make it positive?
There isn't one. I was talking from a pro Brexit viewpoint. How they could blame her for the Brexit that we get not being the Brexit that they portrayed to get people to back them.
Our hero has returned. The gammons are out in force celebrating.
First time Farage has agreed with the EU, they don't accept Theresa May's plan either.
Putting himself in the firing line when it all goes wrong without a deal.
Two months until the EU summit with no sign of a sensible plan in sight.

The cnut is back.
So I take it most people in this thread would argue the benefits of being in the EU outweigh the negatives? Asking because we're considering going in a similar direction here in Southern Africa, not sure if I should be for or against it.
It's not comparable really. Do your own research wrt your country. These things have big consequences some unintended.
It's a good thing. It's like any union, you pay your subs, follow union rules and in return you get better terms than you could negotiate alone
Who said that?
Meanwhile here in Brexit border land or as the Tories called it "ooohhh we like totes forgot about Northern Ireland chaps" Im still unsure as to what my wife and kids resident status will be if theres a hard border. So for you cnuts who think Brexit wont be that much of an upheaval for folks Id like to say thanks for allowing your shit to once again taint ours here over the water.
Why is there a question about your family’s residency status?
Sorry to hear that - hope you get it sorted.
Im hoping my partner's Irish passport will allow her to stay here without hassle but still concerned.
Economically there are huge advantages to a super-national structure in Europe;
- Stop wasting money on customs infrastructure that doesn't add value to imports
- Create a common market so there the are one set of rules to follow in Europe rather than 35
- Sell services and work across Europe without having to get permission from any government.
There are further advantages with promoting freedom and peace across Europe and the World, and more. There is also a huge potential advantage for defence; Considering the entire UK Navy is needed to protect our single aircraft carrier, operating a defensive strategy on a pan-European basis makes a lot of sense.
Ultimately though, who knows
Honestly it is idealogical as much as anything for me. I think that in a global sense, with the superpowers and emerging superpowers to the east and west - a united Europe is needed in order to “compete” on a global scale.
My wife and son are US born and have Irish passports whilst living in Northern Ireland (where I am from)
This and not just against the US, China and India (eventually). Only the EU has a chance of policing the global business giants successfully, each nation alone would be ignored
That’s where I am too. I’m also sick of Europe being America’s pet due to the post-war situation. It’s totally unnecessary in this day and age.
Where does letting brown people drown in the sea fit on the idealogical scale ? Yeah I get that leaving the EU for the UK isn't the greatest idea and considering the history of Europe having the EU just fall to shit wouldn't again be a great outcome but it has to be mentioned that the EU is a deeply problematic and racist political institution that is doing nothing to stop the rise of the far right.
Where did you glean all this information?
Perhaps it's because they are a racist institution that they are doing nothing to stop the rise of the far right?
I presume you do realise that the EU is a union of the 28 (soon to be 27) nations and is not run by overlords from another planet?
Just one of many examples.

If you don't want to talk about the failures of liberalism then shut about fascism is the way I would put it.
