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.
Well there you go. My point was she was right to talk about jobs, jobs, jobs. The Remain campaign has been shite, too busy blaming everyone else for everything and not concentrating on the effect on ordinary voters and hammering that home.
Yeah, you've been proven right in lessl than a week. Only thing stoping hard brexit is another referendum but doubt another referendum would pass parliament.
I work for a foreign bank here. They won't leave totally but expect them to cut staff massively. I work in a department that does analysis for regions in Europe. My job is far from safe.
My money would still be on this government collapsing before that.
Even if she gets the boot(will come after brexit), the Tories won't call one.
There is no hope, 17.4m xenophobes or idiots or both have decided to destroy the country and they've also allowed self-interested lunatics to run the asylum with the worst ever PM and worst ever Opposition Leader to boot.
Thats up to the DUP.
Last two days have been the worst in parliament since it decided to invade Iraq.
Yeah and she was essentially called a traitor for it. Essentially your original idea of a sane Labour/Ken Clarke person isn't really what the right-wing rags/average joe want and they will always be dead against that person.

Im off to the Love Island thread to cheer up.
Or the Tories turning the gun on themselves.

Well, that's that confirmed. Cancelling my house sale and keeping my money in the bank. Shit is about to go south.
Reasonable Brits have to ask how the feck we've got to this point.
The people who voted for this poison aren't even bothered 95% of the Leave predictions have turned out false.

If true, the problem with that is that it starts a chain of events that a last minute deal won't reverse, businesses will put the wheels in motion.
Arron Banks gets his money's worth.
Aye
All they have is "You lost, get over it" and claiming anyone opposing this is against democracy.
It's not even about brexit now for some, they just want to 'win' an argument no matter the consequences.
Already heard earlier that the EU were now going to focus on No deal. Exactly, it's now or never to stop it. Obviously they're not going to stop it so it's now damage limitation for the EU.
Clicked one of those tweets to read up the comments and was astonished by the profiles (BIOs) of the people and number of them(!) that posted with bits and slogans. This one in particular stood out:
I really starting to consider feckin off from here, not feeling welcomed anymore.
Might consider going back to Scotland as people do seem to genuinely like foreigners and have different views on the whole.

I'm not calling for deselection. That would be stupid. The damage is done.
This is so true.
Have any pundits called for them to be expelled from the Labour party?
Not sure I'd take Nadine Dorries words too seriously, to be honest.
When I was in the UK last week, I had this conversation with a close family member who had voted Brexit. This is a genuine conversation.
Me: I see you have had a new roof fitted on your conservatory, looks great.
Family: Yes two Polish chaps fitted it, they were brilliant, worked so hard, did a fantastic job.
Later..
Family: Have a new doctor, she was brilliant when xxx was ill.
Me: Who is she?
Family: Can't remember her name, think she's from Romania or somewhere like that.
Later..
Me: What was the reason you voted for Brexit again?
Family: Too many immigrants.
There are no words.

Only Owen Jones so far but I think he's always been pro deselection. If there wasn't such a shit storm in the beginning about deselection then we wouldn't be in this mess.
Don't believe it for a second.
Frankly, the way UK government always treated EU with contempt and superiority, I am loving the shitshow. If only would not affect the average Joe and specially friends of mine, I will go for popcorn watching the country burn. And the worse part is that they will get out of this, richer than before
Repeat after me Jo. Never trust a tory.
Wow, zero integrity. Can’t believe it actually.
I don't see anyone leaving in one go, just every decision for where future jobs should be will be somewhere in the EU instead of the UK, we shall wither
Convert it to Euros or Swiss Francs or Dollars, I belive that's what the hard Brexiters have done, they will make a fortune on the currency crashing
Don't call me an expert on currency trading or anything but I believe that:
a) Brexit has already been factored into the current price of the Sterling. And...
b) Once Brexit is done the BoE is raising interest rates to counter inflation. They should have done that already but they're holding back due to Brexit uncertainty (Carney's words, not mine)
I actually expect the Sterling to go up against euro and dollar once the interest rates go up.
If we crash out on a no deal the pound tanks
Shall I quote you on it?
Yes
