Seems one of the mildest to me.

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.
Too jingoist for me.
Ah right, I thought you meant bloodthirsty in attacking the panel sorry. I've seen a lot more anger in the past in that respect.

Matt Hancock is always terrible when he's on question time
Who is this Jennifer Robinson?
She's a lawyer so I guess Alfie Evans is getting brought up at some point
Happy to watch her with the sound off.
Martin Lewis arguing passionately that people wrongly explaining student loans are actively putting off people from poorer families from going to university and should be ashamed of themselves. He's quite right.
Yep, that's right
This Matt Forde guy is getting on my nerves though

Not watching tonight but he’s explained it numerous times as a “no win no fee loan”, which it is. For the majority of people they will be better off earning enough to owe payments than if they didn’t go to Uni and had no loan.
Obviously there are exceptions and Uni isn’t the only route to a successful, well paid career but as a generalisation it’s about right.
On this I totally agree.
It has become a political point scoring topic.
Most people who are not students do not understand the way it actually works.
So when Labour frame it as a massive millstone that will cripple people for life, people are up in arms.
This seems to be the way of the Labour party, they convolute the issues to promote an emotional response.
The should call student loans something else.
Another panelist Brexiteer responding to the possibility of someone saying they might quite literally have to take their business away from Britain with a comment saying 'get behind the country' in place of any actual substantive rhetoric. Wonderful.
From the taxpayers' alliance as well, you'd think they'd be behind the free market in action.
Has this show always had the depth of the teletubbies or has the last 18 months just shown these morons up for what they are?
Trump didn't bring North and South Korea around a table, Moon did that. All Trump's done is take the credit and rip up the Iran deal.
Taxpayers alliance rap straight up laughed at by the audience.
Windrush...Grenfell...The Prime Minister's lies & ineptitude covered up by the Home Secretary's resignation...yet all we hear on QT is Brexit. Figures.
It's just standard North Korean games. They've done it before. If it is a permanent peace this time, then thank Kim Jong Un
The rapper dude has been decent tbf.
He has, I rolled my eyes at his introduction, and got it wrong again.
Strange Tory girl was thick as feck, and Mcvey as robotic as ever. Spanish guy more interesting than usual, should have been on more.
I rolled my eyes too tbf, but was impressed with his eloquence. Was the blonde woman the Tory? She was awful- remainers sre now supporting Brexit cos democracy, they just want a good deal.
The Trump shill on this week is awful.
Finally these feckers get called out
I do like Jo Coburn, she seems to have a genuine sense of humour, not a contrived one.
Yeah he was good, been on the news a few times and is generally very well-spoken. Did kind of just flunk answers on one or two questions though. If the topic didn't interest him he basically didn't answer.
Dimbleby doing his job to move swiftly on when the plant misses the mark.
TLW said:
The almost depressing thing is that the people at these news stations(Especially the BBC)think what their doing is a worthwhile cause(I'm sure someone like dimbleby think he's holding British democracy to account). I'm going to be that ''guy'' but if you ever get the chance watch Andrew Marr interview with Noam Chomsky, it's like watching someone finding out their in a cult(Well almost as Marr never really changed)
One of the all time great interviews.
When I first watched it, I found it boring and useless till the Watergate/Cointelpro moment, which clarifies everything and is just amazing.
Oh my sweet summer child.
A beautiful moment. Shame Dimbleby stopped it, the audience member was in a corner
I'm glad he stopped it. The audience member is, after all, just an audience member. Dimbleby was also right that the point had already been well made.
THe audience member at the end is skinner at 1:53
His name is "Hallam Mark William Sevier-Burnapp", he's the son of a former Tory Councillor in Kettering and Dimbleby addressed him by name before asking him for his question. I think it's fair to assume that he wasn't "just an audience member".
He says the name of every questioner...
He doesn't, he has a list of questioners that he calls upon over the course of the show but the majority are "lady in the pink top" or "you sir in the blue jacket".
Right, that's what I meant, this was one of those people, so I'm not sure what the significance of his name being called out is.
He should have been pushed until he said 'they are white'
