What I find interesting is that 65% or 56% (can't remember) of people in NI voted to remain. That means a sizable number of Unionists envisaged NI been thrown under the bus. How can this cnut be complaining?

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.

So has one good thing come from Brexit yet?
I said I was English out loud the other day and didn't get arrested, that's a positive.
Check the colour of your passport.
No more of that foreign muck in supermarkets, in fact there isn't anything in the supermarket
Ahh back to the days of the good old British stiff upper lip.
Rationing could please those Brexiteers who still think they're in WW2. (Even though they weren't originally)
It annoys me I can't get bangers any more but even worse, why can't I get Irish bangers and pies?
I bet Boris and JRM aren’t growing veggie in their back garden
I bet JRM’s wife has been growing out her back garden for years
Nasty imagery. Allow me to make it worse by saying that JRM seems like a "pop it through the gap in his pyjamas" kind of guy.
I'm sure he has nanny help him to pop it in.
There is certainly some with that mentality. In particular those stupid enough to read the dire, dreaded, depressing DM.
But remember. Don't mention the War. You may have just about got away with it... because some will focus on Rationing and the B word.
Yes a United Ireland is getting closer.
Is that a serious possibility?
Yes very much so. It may be a while yet though
Not as clear as @Ramshock thinks but it’s probably an idea that’s closer than it was before. People are very pissed off with brexit and thinking is slowly starting to hit people that it was an English idea for England, and that Boris and his mates couldn’t give two hoots about NI.
On the other hand there’s still a lot of entrenched people on both sides of the border for various reasons including the enormous headache of economy, NHS and civil service
I didnt say it was clear I just said its a real possibility
Figure of speech
No need to get salty about it
Alright alright it was a throw away comment
Admit it, you were ready to take that name.
I was seriously cheesed off
Focusing your thousand yard stare on yonder tree with rage
of course they fecking did. If the choice was A. Cut off your legs and remain as British as possible or B. Have £50 grand each and call yourself Irish they would have the hacksaws out quicker than you can say lundy.
Yes I know, and the unelected bureaucrat, Frosty boy, will be using them again shortly to try to cover his incompetence.

We take note of the UK ministerial statement regarding the operation of the Protocol on the current basis, including the continuation of existing grace periods.
We continue to stress that the Withdrawal Agreement is an international agreement. The Protocol is an integral part of the Withdrawal Agreement and the agreed solution between the UK and the EU to the problems caused by Brexit for the island of Ireland. Both sides are legally bound to fulfil their obligations under the Agreement.
Our focus remains on identifying long-term, flexible and practical solutions to address issues related to the practical implementation of the Protocol that citizens and businesses in Northern Ireland are experiencing. However, we will not agree to a renegotiation of the Protocol. The Commission continues to engage constructively with the UK, in the interest of all communities in Northern Ireland.
Our approach to the Protocol is based on the achievement of stability, certainty and predictability in line with the objectives of the Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement and in order to protect the Single Market. In this way, businesses and citizens in Northern Ireland will reap the full benefits of the Protocol and, in particular, the access to the Single Market it provides.
The Commission reserves its rights in respect of infringement proceedings. At present, the Commission is not moving to the next stage of the infringement procedure launched in March 2021, and is not opening any new infringements for now.

Three are reintroducing roaming charges to the EU following EE and Vodafone who did it a while back. Sure we were told this wouldn't happen both in this thread and in the press...
Three brings in EU roaming charges and ends global scheme - BBC News

Surprised with three I must be honest, as they had loads of free roaming destinations even outside the EU.
Still, yet another benefit!
Just saw this in the comments

I'm intrigued how they're planning to get mobile internet without roaming charges
Wifi? Depending on where you are you can have access to free public wifi. One of my local mall has it, so in theory you could sit on a bench and phone whoever you want with Whatsapp, for the entire day.
Well, yes you can use wifi where it's available. It's not convenient if you're in a car travelling or moving around while messaging or talking though. In the UK I rarely use wifi out and about because it's too sporadic.
Sounds like a great plan to spend your days while on holiday

I mean I don't like or spend time calling or texting and I don't really like shopping too. But if people are so desperate for free eternal phone calls, there are cheap ways.
You're a mall teaser
I travelled solo for 3 years without a cell phone and small laptop in case i need to research my trip and others. In 2012 you could find wifi everywhere. Mcdonalds, starbucks, malls libraries even areas in cities. Not a ptoblem if you need connectivity. Also you can always pay 2 GB sim card on arrival. Whatsapp is not linked to the SIM
