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.
After the financial crash it was about immigrants and poor people being the enemy. Since everyone is poor now the enemy is apparently immigrants, gay immigrants, and the planet trying to stop me driving my 5.0 litre Bentley.
Tories appealing to GBNews feed-ins with specific target to climate change activism ("bloody tree-huggers"). Meanwhile, Labour will, in my opinion, absolutely accelerate the police-state (army-police-state) of the US within England when in power. They'll (Labour) move to English Nationalist types to justify it ("bloody Trump types"). Two parties, same establishment (PM current writing the manifesto for PM in waiting on a daily basis), and easy to read (misdirectionists steering different class-ideological bases against each other to justify precisely the same establishment line). They're justifying an increasingly Orwellian looking United Kingdom without the slightest peep or argument for the contrary (by Labour which we may as well call red-Tory: "it's election-strategy - he has to do it" [no, it's precisely what he's plans to do when in Government and about as transparent as it gets]. 30 point lead. Apparently cannot dissent from the Tory backbench.
The point of Nigel Farage, about as transparent as it gets now, is to push, propagandistically, the alleged consensus to the right. He formed a pact with the Tories in the last election against "socialist Corbyn". That doesn't exist now, yet here we have Reform Party (which ostensibly is present to "push" Labour to the right, as if they required pushing). TransAtlantic merging is the worst thing, cross-institutionally, which ever happened to the United Kingdom (over the past twenty years: gradual). Neoliberalism 3.0 (no ideology just generic corporate takeovers and consumers rather than citizens: driven by the right, consumer-replacement of citizenry, when the right's sine qua non has alway been "citizen"). A complete fecking joke.
The cultural war is the only thing these idiots can manage to propagandize on these days. The Braverman usage - intentional - of that court case: to mirror the general cultural war in the United States. Divisionary tactics. It's ridiculously obvious. Generates a conversation about nothing, at surface level, because it keeps the actual problem off the table (just bickering between "you did this", "you did that"). That's politics in the UK today. Vapid but sinister and calculated for general corporate rinsing of the state.

I don't, no. Tories never tend to fend well here. Never see them out canvassing.
Suella Braverman is a fascist. Multiculturalism has failed? Is that why we have an Asian PM and a non-white Home Secretary? Hopefully she deports her fecking self to Rwanda
She really is a nasty piece of work isn't she. She is Home Secretary and yet the only thing she is interested in is her personal crusade against vulnerable immigrents people trying to get into the UK.
And the Tories know that this plays well with some people. I am convinced that she is happy to keep the numbers of those waiting for their applications to be processed so the Tories can continue to use them as a smokescreen to distract from their failures.
Lineker was right about Braverman
It didn't even work. They were still sat there.
So Tories will probs buy £100 million of them and later we find out the owner of the company that makes them is a Tory donor and corrupt Scotty got a nice consulting job multiple times his MP salary.
Careful now or she'll do her best impression of someone with emotions again, and pretend that she's in some way hurt by what he said.
These feckers have zero empathy. The only thing they have that comes close to it is when they find out that their coke bag is empty just before PMQs start, and even that is because it affects them.
Bullies gravitate towards a career with the police, saviour complex knobheads become doctors, self centered twats get teaching degrees. cnuts who can't do any job other than lie and grovel their way through life, because they're too fecking thick to do something professional, get into politics.
How sad and pathetic it must be to appeal to fascists to think you have a chance of electoral success. Nasty piece of work.
Boris Johnson has been offered a job with GB News
She can't even answer the question.
No one suggested that. And you can't 'game the system' if you're an illegal migrant because you're not registered in the fecking system. God she might be more loathsome than JRM, Priti Patel and Boris.
Edit: You can barely 'game the system' as a legal migrant. My wife is American and ineligible for public funds while on the visa process, which in the first year or two of her arriving here made life really difficult for us financially after I got made redundant.

They can't. Because the tory donors who benefitted from all this are now labour donors.
It was suggested he aligned himself to the DUP quite heavily, potentially even joining a lodge.
Sounds like a great day out to me.
When POC call certain politicians of colour superficial, attitudes like this is exactly what they mean. They might be in government but they're not there for us, they don't represent us and would sooner we all we "go back from where we came from."

UK officials seeking to deport asylum seeker mistook him for three
other men
Home Office officials rejecting Ranjit Singh’s application confused him with others of same name

Well, if anything those are examples that it has indeed failed, tbf.
Actually crazy.
Silver lining to that particular cabinet, it got a lot more people "in" to politics, and eyes on how corrupt our country can be.
am hearing the usual arguments vehemently against the proposal;
- they do good work in the surrounding area like letting the local state schools use their facilities, which will disappear now
- they offer burseries/ scholarships to low income student's, which will disappear now
- they do the state a favour by opening up spaces for other students in the state sector and relieving them of resources
- it will open up a bigger gap with the elite who can still afford the hiked fees
- the “influx” of students into the state sector as a result will be a net loss as the schools are already at breaking point
- it’s anti aspirational
Is that cnut still in the parliament? How can you be on reality tv if so?
I'm not sure private schools are a thing here in NI, could be wrong, so i could be missing something but what's the aim here with charging vat? Purely monetary?
Well yeah and distributing the raised funds to those who need it more in the budget.
The state schools have, minimally, to offer an education coeval to the private schools. A climb but that is what it is. Therefore, you have to tax private schools if they are considered charities (it is a capital distinction in the first instance). About the only Labour policy I've seen/heard of late.
It should be income based: thresholds. A better mode of taxation than a standard VAT. Or VAT exempt status, in credit form, for X background (socioeconomic).

Everything going according to plan
Why didn't they say that to start with? Did they just not understand what they were saying?
By the way, where did The Reeves family grow up? Their voices are strange, particularly Rachel Reeves whose voice sounds more and more like Starmer's every day.
Potholes? Really? The rail infrastructure in the north is not fit for purpose. We need to concentrate on getting more people out of their cars and onto public transport and we need a modern rail system locally and nationally.
He will pay the price for his lack of vision, as a great man once said.
He's so unbelievably thick.
There'll be another hateful scrote to take her place
I’ll still be celebrating.
Please, this cannot be allowed here. For gods sake someone has taken the thread off topic, this is not right mods. I know these posters have a longstanding history here, but this is not right. I can't be the only one that thinks this?
