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.
That would split the gammon vote nicely.
This Sky News thing is terrible.
Why does nobody take idiots to task when they bleat on about respecting democracy? Given the amount of people who have died, changed their minds etc this vote is no more valid than the 1975 referendum.

With what is in the news today about changing the good Friday agreement I think May has totally lost the plot. No plan B.
They're denying it but I fully expect a leak confirming it.
A true "woah, back through feck up there!!" moment.
Just watching Sky News.
Some columnist from the Telegraph, Juliet Samuel, no idea who she is but she said : "I voted Remain but I'd prefer No Deal to No Brexit" .
What?!

Wouldn't there have to be another referendum to make any significant changes to the GFA?
Yes
Thought so, if they even considered trying that then they're even more clueless and desperate than i thought.
Ireland would also need to agree, it's a no-go.
Massive no-go. They can get fecked.
This weeks going to be absolute chaos in parliament.
May will presumably just reoffer her deal and stick to her rhetoric. Parliament hopefully succeeds in taking back control and then she'll just be a passenger (albeit one with her head out of the window screaming at passerbys)

She's attempting to simply run the clock down. She's a devious and malevolent cnut more interested in self preservation and that of her odious party than the best interests of the nation.
May is utterly awful, Tory MPs must now be cursing the day the appointed her in 2016. You'd think her deranged behaviour makes it more likely Parliament will be able to take control of the process. Guess she could resign ultimately, she doesn't seem the type though. Will probably have to be removed from number 10 kicking and screaming.
They need to put the door in and fecking taser her.
Imagine Boris got appointed instead..
At least the country would’ve already been set on fire rather than this horrible, slow march towards disaster that we’re currently on.
Fair play. Parliament's best plan would be to lock both May and Corbyn in a cupboard somewhere in the HoC.
May will go to here grave muttering "Brexit means Brexit, the will of the people".
There is stubbornness and there is idiocy.

I dont think she will accept that... I think if parliament takes control she paints it as remain MP's against the will of the people and calls a general election (which she will fight on basically that point alone)
I think Corbyn and the official labour position probably has to vote for the GE as well given how long hes called for it
I just feel she would rather go out kicking and screaming (though hoping to secure a workable majority) than have parliament take control
The worrying thing is that the 'no deal' option is now gathering support at a rapid rate. The shit show is getting even worse.
And eject the cupboard into space.
I've noticed that as well. Most of the polls I've seen seem to back No Deal over a second referendum which is ridiculous.
Because people think 'No Deal' means nothing changes, like walking away from buying a car. Only this is more like jumping out of a plane without buying a parachute.
The Gerronwivit brigade think it will all be over on 30th March not realising that it would be only the very beginning in renegotiating everything with the rest of the world and moreover dealing with the fallout and consequences of that for years and years to come.
She cannot just call a general election. If parliament is taking control they can also stop her calling an election as long as they have more than 1/3 the house supporting. Labour might say, let parliament take control and let's have an election afterwards. That is the price for our support. Could suit Corbyn nicely.
It's kinda scary that even after 2 1/2 years, still such a high proportion of the public remain completely uneducated on Brexit, what the different options mean and the impacts they'll have.
Sky have a poll where 26% of people who voted think "No Deal" Brexit means staying in the EU, crazy.

Were people always that ignorant ? If folks that have lived through the 70s can comment on that...
The GFA is an internationally binding treaty registered with the UN. It can't be unilaterally altered by one party so the whole idea is a non-starter. I literally can't believe Downing Street don't know that so their denial rings true.
That's that then, eh?
Heh wish that was true.
Comes across as a leaked false proposal put out there to distract and make the actual proposal appear more legitimate.
Yes.
Difference then was that people weren't bombarded by social media which seem to have a strong influence on how people think but they also had less experience of the outside world.
Or in number 10 they are completely desperate and scrambling for any crumbs of hope...
Given how the rest of these negotiations have gone I'm going for that. Fairly sure there isn't another actual proposal. Hope for the best maybe?
#Facepalm
See my initial reaction to stuff like this is that it's massive news that will damage reputations....then i remember most of the UK live in wilful ignore when it comes to the Tory party so it's nothing news in effect.
I saw that as well, along with a very worrying rise in bigotry towards the irish.
May will seek a deal that would please Tories and the DUP. As such she is seeking to reopen the GFA.
well except then May would not then call a general election - so if Corbyn wants an election he would have to grab the opportunity now
