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.
They are being pragmatic... Why would an Irish person elected by Irish people on the island if Ireland ever take a seat in a British parliament located in London?
It's just a pity that it has a slight air of the kid that flounces off in a huff expecting his mates to follow him and beg him to come back. And they don't.
To prevent a hard boarder causing damage to said Irish people or to try and force a 2nd referendum to ensure the will of the Irish people who voted to remain in the EU is carried out?
Its a valid decision not to recognize the authority of the parliament - but if doing so causes lasting economic hardship for those they represent (and lets remember they represent a constituency not all of whom would have voted for them... not all of whom would necessarily identify as Irish) plus could actually do more to divide and ultimately harm the goal of a united Ireland they could you know perhaps exercise their right to vote?
I didn't think they would - put there are certainly arguments on both sides of the issue as to what would be the best course of action.
I guess they are just a little more true to their beliefs, integrity isn't usually a trait you'd associate with politicians, but there you have it.
The economic failure of the Northern Irish state due to the votes of people in mainland Britain is one more reason why Northern Ireland should not be part of Britain... I am guessing that is how they will use the result. It is a political game of chess. A majority voted remain in NI and now the British government is dragging them out of Europe against their will... That will result in people from all sides eventually coming to terms with NI probably being better off not part of Britain.
It's probably not even that calculated. It is as simple as never taking a seat in the government buildings of what is an illegal invading country. Sinn Féin and it's associates see themselves as torch bearers of the original provisional Irish government that declared itself in 1916. They will never recognise Britain's claim to dominion over any part of Ireland. Taking a seat at Westminster to deal with Irish affairs would be tantamount to acceptance of that dominion and would legitimise it.
I could be wrong but don't MPs need to swear and oath of allegiance to HM and the British state? That could be a clincher as to why they wont take their seats. They are also looking fantastic at the moment by doing absolutely nothing and leaving the whole shebang to May and Foster.
Do you mean that the EU deal with Canada is bad for Canada?
Find it remarkable how people are just talking about a Canada like deal like it's nothing. It will kill the manufacturing sector stone dead. Services would also be crippled.
It's basically a FTA. Doesn't solve any of the problems Brexit will cause.
So basically mogg and Boris agree with the EU...
I have a serious question.
What would be some advantages of Brexit.
What would be some advantages of Brexit.
Yes, which would be acceptance of the dominion of the British over parts of and the people of Ireland... Saying some words in a foreign language isn't really the root of thr issue is it. Or do you think that's the reason?
Good question, one that is yet to answered. I am starting to think there aren't any. No, I'm not starting to think, it has been bleeding obvious right form the start, it's the stupidest fecking idea anyone has ever thought of.
There has never been any attempt whatsoever to sell it to the sceptics, in fact everything that has gone on has served to make the sceptics more and more sceptical.
block all the immigrantz bruv innit.
none, zilch, loads of agro plus plus plus..
here is still hoping that it does not pass through parliament and without needing a revolution this tory goverment falls and hopefully somebody with vision and a plan comes in and puts the UK at the centre of the EU where it should be!

I was going to type some sarcastic replies but I couldn’t be arsed. Honest answer is I don’t know
If you were an enemy of the UK?
Don't need to start a war, don't need to invade, just convince 17.4 million dumbos to destroy it from the inside.
Well it makes more sense in a "no-deal" brexit to keep the current two headquarters rather than the original simplification idea. One HQ in Britain, and one in Rotterdam as they have at present is perfect for them going forward if it's a no deal.
Sky news reckon the main driver in the move was fear of takeover, with Holland having tougher takeover laws than the UK. Large institutional shareholders voted the move down as the share price would have dropped if they left the FTSE. Whether that's the end of it though I don't know.
They would have been booted off the FTSE 100
The board wanted to leave it Stanley, that was the point. The large shareholders didn't.
If you start with no deal then a Canada deal is great. If you start with full integration, then a Canada deal is about a million steps backwards.
Who the feck would that be then?
Mate this is ridiculous, the UK is an island on the edge of Europe, you really want to move the entire island to the center of Europe?
Actually, it would get rid of the Swiss so maybe it's a good idea.

English Union?
The UK is Europe and the rest of the EU is on the edge of Europe.
Yep, that's what I meant
I told my English friend how brexit is unfortunate.
He tells me “ignore the negativity. You’ll see UK will be the place to be”
What exactly is the cause for some English people still thinking this way?

Disaster capitalists could make a killing.
Normal British bluster.

Alcohol.
People on the continent drink as much if not more than the Brits. Us Brits just love to binge drink.
I know, I am one.
