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.
The bloody Mail. I want to laugh at their insanity but I don't want to give the feckers clicks.
What is the article wrong about?
It sounds quite good.

And I'm fairly sure nobody is being forced to take kids of any age to it.

It is the Mail. They make it out as if children are being forced to watch as opposed to the makers saying what minimum age they would reccomend based on guidelines. After that parents can choose. Typical Mail beat up.
I’m not sure it’s happening on any sort of meaningful scale but genuinely the best way to deal with freaks like that (if they actually exist) would be to just tell them ‘alright I’m a transphobic bigot…now feck off!’
They're not though. The article specifically mentions that the show's title is deliberately provocative so that people know what's gonna happen.
It's the Mail. They know their audience, they know this article will create outrage. But they're not making it out as if kids are forced.
Because a lot of lesbian, gay and bi people are in fact attracted to people who have transitioned, so "same-sex attraction" could be a bit of a misnomer.
In my experience, what's being labeled transphobic is categorically stating that you would never be attracted to a trans person. You don't really know that, do you?
Ah ok, I suspected it might be that but it sounded too ridiculous a thing to accuse someone of bigotry over. Plus the sentence was unclear.
I guess if you're a lesbian who falls for a trans woman who still has a schlong it must be 'confusing' as Alan Partridge put it.
Sounds like the set up for a comedy sketch.

Rich was a post-doc in Sabatini's lab.
I didn't know such a thread existed - my involvement in the CAF is directly correlated with the team's performance
funnily enough there is a former student of his who did go on the record, and she wasn't mentioned in this article at all, not sure why.
with david sabatini, we have lost the current otto warburg. and today, as we speak, modern-day current da vinci has been hit by the wokeistan.
I don't know anything about that case, but the author of that article has a very distinct history in choice of topics, it seems.
The complaint can be read here (pdf). It's long, 52 pages. What should come as no surprise, however, is that it includes a lot of stuff this author forgot to mention.
Seeing as that is quite literally only one (extraordinarily long) side of the story, it seems fair enough to gloss over a lot of the content.
I'm not usually into rap, but was randomly suggested this one yesterday.
The guy nails it.
The guy nails it.
He sings facts dont care about your feelings.
Lost me there
Wait why is he saying we're ashamed to be American. He's Canadian.

What, exactly, is it you think he nails?
Is that Laurence fox?
That woke and cancel culture are getting out of hand.
The fact that many of these words can barely be mentioned before you're accused of being racist or somethingphobe.
I saw a reaction to it on youtube, and the so called reactor had a reaction because he said... can't remember which it was, but she said "no you can't sing that" - she didn't even consider what he said, just that he said a certain word or sentence.
I liked the "it's not hate speech, it's speech that you hate" - part. If you disagree about one of the touchy subject, you're automatically anti that.
For those of us who didn't listen to the song, what words are really fine to say but get you accused of being racist these days?
It has to be said that watching reaction videos is the lowest of low-hanging fruit. You might as well go into YouTube comment sections to form an opinion on cancel culture. It's literally meaningless.
Laurence Faux
Which words? He just claims things you say get labeled homophobic or racist. It's completely meaningless on it's own. Given that it's Tom MacDonald, it's pretty safe to assume that most of those things are actually homophobic or racist.
There's a line in the song which, given that he's a reactionary right-wing dipshit, can only really be read as him thinking famous people being exposed as sexpests and rapists is a bad thing.
The "facts" he keeps alluding to are definitely right wing conspiracy theories regarding covid, vaccines and the 2020 US presidential elections.
He also claims US police are underfunded. Yeah.
Then there's his roundabout way of saying "aLl liVeS mAtTEr"
The line's actually "there's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate." Technically true, I guess, but what's he referring to? What speech is erroneously labeled hate speech?
Whole song's just a bunch of whining about vaguely defined grievances, much like all whining about SJWs, PC gone mad and wokeism is.
Fixed.
Being a right wing wanker?
No sympathy from me here.
He was in a realtionship that went south. It happens.
However, it's always tricky with that kind of a power distance.
This case is about David Sabatini, M.D., Ph.D. (“Sabatini” or “Counter-Claim Defendant”), a tenured professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (“MIT”), who – up to the summer of 2021 – believed himself so important and so influential that, no matter what his misconduct, he would suffer no consequences.
If the rest of this counterclaim sounds like the opening paragraph, then it's probably a bunch of faff.
Is that your professional opinion, your honor?
Thoughts on this?
Presumably, by equal measure, gay guys should no longer be accepting straight roles or something?
Serial killer movies to become a thing of the past due to the inavailabilty of actors with multiple murder convictions.
I think it's a non-problem. I'm fine with straight actors playing a gay role. Hanks was very good in that movie, why would it be 'wrong' to replicate that today?
It’s called acting for a reason.
I wonder if he has similar feelings about having played Forrest Gump.
He has a point that it was seen as a real eye-opener for a straight guy to play a gay role like that and for a gay character to be the lead in a big film. I remember reading a piece about how Hanks and Sean Penn got oscars, Brokeback Mountain won big and some others got nominations for their 'brave' choice. More recently no-one gets nominated purely for playing a gay person.
I don't agree with only gay actors can play gay roles and presumably straight actors play straight roles though.
The biggest travesty is how British actors are allowed to fake an accent and play Americans.
The thing is though, the heterosexual story is one we know, childhood teen, adult, marriage, kids.
It's been in every story since we started telling stories. So basically a gay actor knows the trials and tribulations of growing up straight and acting it.
However, the gay or trans or disabled stories are told far less, so less information is available, and what is out there is so little that it becomes stereotypes.
