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.
Winner...
They've already killed someone for it. Being scared to antagonise these people will only lead to their policies being enacted and more people dying.
I always feel Monty Python related jokes are firstly too easy and are basically todays dad jokes.
At least you are civilized in marches. I can't say the same about everyone.
@Silva They are totally wrong to use intimidation and violence, and so are you to call for it on your side.
Let's be clear, I approve of the march as a peaceful protest, but your posts here are straight out of the fascist handbook:
While you stand by these posts I am quite in order to call you a fascist.

yes there's no difference between murdering people and breaking windows in westminster, jesus christ dude
Quite upset no one yet has the Father Ted inspired "down with this sort of thing" sign
Your posts are there to be read, fascist.
Yes, I haven't got short fat hairy legs though.
I'm a dad... So meh I'm allowed
imagine thinking gove is progressive
I guess it's not so out of the ordinary that he can do this since he's the only person in the shadow cabinet that can't be sacked outside of Corbyn, but still.

As someone who’s worked in the education sector when Gove was in charge I could not think of a worse candidate for a scout leader, never mind the leader of a nation!
People’s Vote march doesn’t represent the majority, Farage tells 200 people
The best report I could find from Nigel Farage's "March to Leave" address in front of 197 people in Nottinghamshire this morning where he dismissed the London march as irrelevant and not representative of what Britain wants

It's a fair point though?! Having a 7 digit number of protesters on the streets is impressive, but it could easily be a vocal minority.
Since the country is already en route to some form of Brexit at the moment it's also perfectly normal that the other side doesn't have a lot of people protesting.
They're too busy ringing a 77 year old woman, currently on holiday in Cyprus, to give her death threats.
Over 16 million people voted remain. 48%. Hardly only a vocal minority!
That was 2 years ago. Since then I suspect even more people have become aware of the risks of Brexit.
The people have marched; now MPs must take up the challenge

Almost like we should have an official national check on public opinion to see if it's still what we want.
Ok I've tried for the past 10 minutes to find a Python quote/pun that would work as a reply and I've completely failed. So alright, we'll call it a draw.
I reckon the most important swing in a second referendum will come from the young (and otherwise) people who didn't bother voting the first time. I'd expect a bigger turnout as % of the electorate.
The first referendum had the momentum of a protest vote against the establishment, so leavers were more motivated about turning out than remainers. Now, with the country heading off a cliff and the political establishment in tatters, the protest vote will be for remain. And that will motivate people to the polls more. At least that's my take on things.
On another note, great turnout today and congrats to all those that went
don't think they understood that scene

Agreed on turnout increase and also younger voters will now be old enough to vote. The complicated reality of Brexit will also change the outlook.I reckon the most important swing in a second referendum will come from the young (and otherwise) people who didn't bother voting the first time.

Annoyingly a protest was (or is)s greatly needed. Increased poverty, homelessness, unemployment (hidden by zero hour contracts), inadequate investment in healthcare and Privatised education with academies instead of state schools!
All of peoples dissatisfaction and energy has been wasted on Brexit these last 2 years. In that respect Brexit has worked as a distraction. It has taken the focus of the real, permanent issues prior to the first referendum.
You have a habit of posting these polls. Did you read the comments?
The poll's fine, Aaron Bastani's presentation of it is typically woeful and self-serving.
Be fair though, the guy has a PhD in protesting and is having to sit out today so must be having a tough time.
it is twitter at the end of the day.
He's weird even for Twitter.
Must be a serious buzz in London today. Walking around calling Mogg a wankmuffin and declaring who has won the internet. Spine tingling stuff
And just think of the analogies!

He means well and some of the novara media content is great(Podcast about the Russian Revolution with china miéville) but I did get a laugh when he thought England going well in the world cup meant socialism is alive in Britain and also him arguing with Limmy on twitter.
