Fcuking hell. How do the Tories manage to make me hate them more and more and more (and more and more...) each bloody year.

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.

Instead of making such an excruciatingly embarrassing video, why doesn't she tell us why it was such a brilliant idea to leave.
I am sure we would like to hear and compare it with reality.
Been reading some things here and there today and have decided this is how it’s going to go.
1. The UK will leave at the end of the month without a deal.
2. The US under Trump’s leadership will do a trade deal with the UK.
3. The UK will get screwed over by Trump (with the help of people like Farage, Johnson and JRM) and basically become a vassal state of the US.
4. The UK will lower it’s food health and safety standards to fall in line with the US.
5. The NHS will be scraped in favour of the American private health care system.

desperate stuff here.
On a different note, how long has he been leading Unite?
The kind of solution that makes union membership fees seem great value for money.
Lolwut
The whole point of Brexit is to give power back to British politicians and away from Brussels.
You can't vote for Brexit and then complain about incompetence in Westminster. The idea of "taking back control" is to give it to the very people you're decrying.
Lock him up!
reminds me of the typical tv serieses of the 70s when one black person would be thrown in some minor role among a horde of white people just to add that teeny weeny diversity 'needed' into the mix. What a joke

Wiki says since 2010 and if I remember correctly he won re election last year.
In fairness there's not a lot the union can do. The local work force voted away their own jobs(Plus Unions for decades now have been completely powerless/useless).
My favourite is the posh old man in the nice suit talking about telling off "the elite".
I would Kevin Keegan love it if Farage went down for money laundering.
Thanks, surprised it's not longer than that.
Yeah feels like he's been around forever.
PM accused of 'bribing MPs' with £1.6bn post-Brexit fund
Only now after years of neglect from both parties do they find the money.

It’s incredible how little coverage there is at the moment in the UK given the country is 3 weeks away from the cliff edge.
If I really thought that a petition would have any affect at all then I would gladly sign it. But it will unfortunately have no affect at all. Honda have made this decision and will not change. More is the pity.
Just about sums it up.
Really. I am bombarded with it on the radio and TV.
I pity those with families.
So do I, anyone with young kids and a job in manufacturing industry. Quite honestly it's less worrying now living in another country, even with all the practical problems.
And what's more, it's still even less than what the Tories initially promised, and is still wholly inadequate. An absolute joke and just shows the contempt to which those in the corridors of power hold the North in.
Years of neglect by both parties? Only one party has been in power since 2010 and halved City council budgets!
Irish drivers - heard today that you won’t be able to drive over the border into the north without a special permit. Taxi driver today was telling me because they sometimes get fares going from Dublin airport up to Belfast
Special permit... You mean an international driver's licence... They have been advising for months people should get one at least in the UK... Dunno about Irish government advice
Also a lot of insurances and breakdown covers are on a Europe wide basis... Not sure if these will still be valid?... But knowing insurers is they can avoid paying they will
- Sir Ivan Rogers, the former UK ambassdor to the EU, has said Britain is not ready to face Brussels in the massively complex trade negotiations that will begin if Theresa May gets her Brexit deal through parliament. Speaking at the Institute for Government, he said:
You’ve got to have confidence as chief trade negotiator, both at an official and ministerial level, that you have got a highly competent set of people in every area from aviation to energy to phytosanitary to competition to employment. In every area, you’ve got to have vetted that team, know it’s got the capabilities, know it’s got the resources, know it’s got the legal framework and the background and be at least as good as the team on the opposite side of the table. It isn’t the case. We are not in that position.
But what about the highly trained, competent team that will be negotiating with the USA,or what about the one for China , what about that immensely competent team for India , what about.... , hang on, just how many fantastically competent teams have the UK got...
Taxi driver seemed to think that there was something on the news today about a ‘green card’ not an international driving license
Either would be a pain in the arse though
You'd need both, the green card is the insurance, just like the old days.
Ahhh I see
I got an email today from Admiral saying that since I live in NI I will be getting a Green Card in due course which I might need to use in the event in of a No Deal Brexit.
Thumbs up to Admiral
What an utter clusterfeck.
It’s an insurance green card that means that they will be insured in NI. Most of the people in boarder towns have been given them.
Can we have the countdown in days? Or perhaps hours:mins:secs, like the TV series "24"? It will be more exciting! May reverses article 50 with only 2 seconds on the clock!
But beware! The clock terminates at 23:00 hours British Time on March 29th, not at 24:00 hours! That's because the countdown is in Brussels time! Another trap by the cunning EU!

After watching that Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix, I believe that Brexit is very similar but on a much bigger scale. They had many chances to pull the plug but just continued until it was too late and it turned into an absolute laughing stock of a shitshow. I wouldn't be surprised if May ordered one of her staff to perform certain "favours" in order to gain necessary concessions from Brussels.
