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.
No they wouldn't.
What I'm wondering though is that it may just be the border that doesn't exist but how will you keep up with Brussels Regulatory changes as part of the UK when attempting to sell produce and goods in to the EU?
It is the Tories who hate that idea
If there's a border in the sea I'm getting a job lot of waterproof balaclavas in for the lads.
I'm a Leftie and I don't like the idea. How can we be a United Kingdom with a border between us?
Few snorkels too?
We aren't a United Kingdom and never have been. We are England and a bunch of invade and conquered other countries.
A united Ireland would be entirely logical except that we deliberately moved a huge number of Protestant Scots to Northern Ireland who now, obviously, don't want to be part of a United Ireland. We really do know how to feck things up.
Basically we just don't play well with others.
We really do know how to shoot ourselves in the foot but it doesn't answer the issue. No-one has known the answer to uniting Ireland. Make the Protestants move to England?
I believe in self-determination but that won't happen, meanwhile the EU have always known the Backstop and a border between us was never going to be an option because it tied our hands behind our backs.
We can get rid of any EU citerzens that are here and don’t work with current EU laws but we don’t. What makes you think things will change when we leave?
Or bring the south back into the UK with devo-max for all.

I'm not sure the Irish would like that plan and I'm definitely not sure the British Army could take the Irish Army!They'd get the protection of our Nukes. What more could they ask for?
Oh, i thought Wilhelm van Orange was responsible for the protestant movement in ni?
I can't even begin to imagine. Lots.
TBF though the Irish did send quite a few of their own over to Scotland just to even things up. Without them we'd never have had the friendly rivalry between Rangers & Celtic. So it's not all bad is it ?
Yes. Yes it is.
He was King of England for 13 years.
We have fecked it up so badly there is no quick solution, just workarounds. But abandoing our responsibilites now, as seems to be happening now, is a moral disgrace. The EU aren't responsible for this clusterfeck. The British are.
It is though mate because the Good Friday Agreement is about the Island of Ireland.
Again mate the DUP are saying they won't agree to that but the DUP don't speak for everyone in NI, at this stage i have serious doubts if their views even align with the majority of Unionists on the matter. The majority of people here voted to stay in the EU, including many Unionists.
To my knowledge there is nothing in the GFA about Northern Ireland needing to have regulatory alignment with Britain. No doubt because it was probably assumed that Ireland and the UK would always be members of the EU and the same customs union.
I think the British government should face their responsibility to uphold the GFA, however they decide to do that is fine by me as long as they do it.

To counter your sweeping generalisations with my own, I've always found Eastern Europeans hard working and reliable and never any bother. A Lithuanian did our bathroom and Romanians did our bedroom, both to a high standard for a competitive price. The scumbags I've met have tended to be English council estate folk.
Nothing to disagree with there Wibbs.
The Backstop is no workaround though. The EU knew that with it in place there will be no one for the UK to trade with until if ever we negotiate trade agreements with either the EU or those few countries with no current agreements with the EU. We cannot even trade under World Trade Organisation Tariffs.
Yep it's a real eye opener mate.
It is a shit workaround but short of remain, the only other vaguely moral possibility.
It's a trap!
If we're being moral about it then we either say the BackStop will apply to the whole of the United Kingdom or none at all, or we shall stay within thine tent, pissing.
Jeremy Corbyn says this is ridiculous.
Labour are going to build their submarine out of butter.

You don't have to be young, old, left or right to know that Brexit is a moronically stupid idea.
Personally as oldies we never had it so good. We could even use our smart phones, data and all on the same rate.
I hope you realise I was saying it as a joke, not an answer.
I know mate don't worry - thats why I was laughing.
Yeah but, he's 100pc cheesehead
It's not as if I mind being laughed at, I got used to that. It was just on this occasion I was trying to be.
Yeah you're spot on. Kinda like Bram Stoker's Dracula with Gary Oldman meets Mary Berry...
Is it just me but does she walk like a man?
Of course. In my experience the people who were stupid when they were young were still stupid when they were old and those who were intelligent when young and were still intelligent when old, people's prejudices may change of course.
....who's pooped his pants
Yes!
Must be all those years of walking through wheat fields.
You know the government are in a bad place when they're spinning May clinging on as some kind of victory and its only because that's the biggest win they've had for months/all year.
