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.
Seems pretty logical to me. Also said that they're now implementing their no deal plans rather than it just being a contingency.
But if we are still a member whilst we figure out we are doing and thus paying our dues I think they would probably keep their place... Afterall... No taxation without representation.... Oh how the tables have turned
The other complication is that if the UK leave the number of overall seats reduce but part of the UK's seats are to be redistributed amongst the other member states, for example France gain an extra 5 seats/MEPs. There is very little time left.
Indeed... I could see the EU offering something like UK skips the EU elections but if we choose to stay we participate in the next one... In the meantime I dunno I think we only have around 70 mep's perhaps split that on a pr basis between the Westminster vote and let UK MP's go to vote?
I mean imagine we have EU elections in the current climate... I wouldn't be surprised if Tommy Robinson got elected

So much winning.
Companies press Brexit panic button in further blow to Theresa May
P&O opts for Cypriot flag, Sony confirms HQ move and Pets at Home stockpiles cat food
The scale of no-deal panic gripping major companies has been thrown into sharp focus by a series of damage-limitation announcements, as corporate Britain signalled it is running out of patience with Westminster gridlock.
Sir James Dyson, the Brexit-backing billionaire, dealt a further blow to the government by revealing he is shifting his company headquarters to Singapore in a move that drew sharp criticism.
Dyson’s decision to move his HQ out of the UK came on a day in which a series of high-profile names revealed measures to mitigate the impact of a disorderly departure from the EU:
• P&O announced that its entire fleet of cross-Channel ferries, will be re-registered under the Cypriot flag, as the 182-year-old British maritime operator activated its Brexit plans.
• Sony confirmed it is moving its European headquarters from London to Amsterdam.
• The chief executive of luxury carmaker Bentley said the company was stockpiling parts and described Brexit as a “killer” threatening his firm’s profitability.
• Retailers Dixons Carphone and Pets at Home announced plans to shore up supplies in the event of chaos at British ports.

There will still be plenty of gammon available
Farage is committed to participate in the next mep elections.. I guess that is the UK's strongest threat to a deal yet
I shop at Sainsbury's. The shelves are often empty because the staff can't be bothered to fill them.
How do I get off this train? Look at this thread.
Cat food? They'll be the first things on the menu post Brexit.
Basically saying its fine to ruin the country and people's livelihoods than find alternative options. Electorates are human beings and are allowed to make mistakes. The right and decent thing to do is to rectify these mistakes in the best way possible.
What's more mind-numbing is this from a development secretary.
Guys, is it on?

This stuff pisses me off. They genuinely don't understand that the millenium bug wasn't a false scare, it was a genuine threat that only passed by without chaos because a huge number of very skilled people spent vast amounts of time and money making sure critical systems were protected. So because the storm passed without disaster, now its just treated as a joke.

BrexON
Most countries have deals too.
His interview this morning was just a preplanned attack peice on parliament and none of it ringed any truth.
He said it'd be a huge constitutional change for parliament to raise legislation and scrutinise it but they already can do exactly that, all legislation does not come form the government.
All designed to paint any action by parliament actually doing it's job as some great revolt. It's dangerous and they've clearly not learned their lesson on what might happen stoking these flames
Even more stupid is the old Brexit favourite, “Most countries are not in the EU and doing perfectly well.”
What may have escaped their notice, we know it escaped Raab's notice, that most countries are not an island situated just off the coast of mainland Europe.
Maybe they are planning to up sticks and move off the coast of the USA or to the Far East.
Just get on with it.
Liam Fox is unbelievably thick.
Very good thread
Ha Ha! quite agree, Sainsbury's not the place to go hoarding shopping!
Quite right...the EU fears this almost as much as a no deal scenario. Personally cannot see them extending Art 50 by any time scale that might allow for our continuing membership and to get caught up in the next MEP elections. The results of such elections may well make the divisions in the EU Parliament thereafter, such that it will make the Trump v Democrats battles in the USA look positively sane!
Suspect that if anything happens to Art 50 it will be it that it will run its course to a no deal ending, or it will get pulled completely and we stay in the EU.
Except it doesn't really feel like the electorate thinks they've made a mistake, given the number of people who seem absolutely fine with leaving with no deal.
Corbyn is having a nightmare in PMQ with his Custom Union.
This is a spectacular mess.
It is a shambles.
No one really has a clue what would happen with no deal as it depends on EU / UK government actions. Ignoring all the scaremongering, it's still not a risk any sane government should be taking with the lively-hoods of the 60m odd people in the country.
Hopefully the grieve copper no deal amendment will pass and Parliament will take control of the process as the clock runs down. I still think we should just withdraw article 50, parliament should explain that the withdrawal agreement was not acceptable neither is no deal so we don't have any other choice. Then we should have a GE.
Definitely do not want another referendum on the back of May's total failure in the last two years. Going to be incredibly bitter and the result would never be accepted anyway making it pointless.
Debate on the subject can continue but the process and implementation of it needs to be killed off for the foreseeable.
Just look at the responses. There are so many idiots in the UK.
Definitely agree with you regarding another referendum. What if Remain wins by 52-48? That's not conclusive at all (and I think No Deal Brexit would get more votes than people might think).

Mogg now talking about closing down parlaiment in order to prevent elected MPs from passing amendments

At this stage anyone with half a brain should realize he's a bit too invested in wanting a no deal Brexit to happen. Once you realize that you can disregard almost everything he says on the matter.

My guess is that he'd (and his clients) be losing a lot of money if such amendments were passed
He is simply not strong or clever or able enough to lead his own party let alone our country.
His close supporters may love him but that just proves that they are a party happy to be in opposition but just don't have the intellectual thought processes to be in power.
And that is not good.
To be fair mate i think the last few years have revealed the Tories to have the same problem.
