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.
Is there a significant public outcry about this?
Looking at mail comments , it seems people tory voters don't know their government voted to allow this.
We really are a pathetic nation to allow our government to do all this to us.
Attacks on rights, limiting the power of the judiciary, dumping literal shit everywhere...

Not in 'red wall' constituencies, most problem beaches are down South
Feels like that was an honest mistake from Grant Shapps there. I'm sure if he'd known he'd made a mistake he'd be the first to own up to it and not double down on his error

I see the she devil has signed a binding contract with Pakistan to "send back/take back" their dual national trash. Now to start issuing fake parking tickets in order to remove their British passports and hey presto they're gone. We're gone.
They're gonna wait until we are dragged out of the ECHR, then mass deportations. I wonder how they're gonna deal with the 2nd generationers
2nd generations, and 3rd, still have dual nationalities. My kids are all born here but I've got them both. Makes it easier to travel on holidays, etc. The only way is to revoke dual nationality.
When people came over here in the 60's from India, they had to revoke their Indian nationality, so my parents, I and my children only have British nationality. What are they going to do with people like us?
If I had to give up my dual nationality and only identify as British, I'd genuinely leave with no hesitation.
Being British? Sickening.
Being British? Sickening.
You're fine. You would become citizenless therefore they can't touch you (for now).
If the next (likely Labour) government don't repeal this law (and I have very low hopes) then the time will finally have come to start thinking about selling up and moving to Canada or New Zealand in the next decade.
I can't afford to have the British government snatch my only property if me and my family are no longer British even though we've been here all our lives. This is a very targeted move being made here and it will likely be a joint party one, not just Tory. Us brown folk get the message.
Didn't they try and send that ISIS bride to Bangladesh even though she only had sole British citizenship?
It sounds like a similar story to the Windrush generation, and a lot of the victims have died or been deported with no remedy for the callousness shown by the Government.
Hopefully that doesn't happen with the Pakistani nationals either, but this country likes to use foreign labor then discard it whenever if it serves political points to do so.
Yes it is actually worse than has been reported.
The Government's position is that if an individual could be the citizen of another country, then they can be deported to that country.
So Shamima Begum only held British citizenship, but because she was under 21 she could - theoretically - have given up British citizenship and applied for and got Bangladeshi citizenship as her father was Bangladeshi.
So a lot depends on the luck of the draw. If a country allows second or third generation migrants to be able to claim ancestral based citizenship (as Ireland does for example), then the UK Government will happily deport you to a country that you (and maybe your parents) have never even visited.
Of course, if you happen to have parents and grandparents who are British citizens, like Wayne Couzens did, then whatever you do, no matter how heinous, you cannot be removed from this country.
I imagine Labour, under any leader, would wait until the new Tory leader / PM is (undemocratically) elected before rebuking talking points.
However, the problem has been that New Lavlbour when in government and this new Starmer Labour do not fight against the narrative of "lazy benefit cheats taking all of our tax paying money".
Even when we receive the pie chart breakdown of where our tax money goes, the Tories lump in pensions under welfare so everyone gets annoyed that 35% of tax money goes on welfare. When nearly half of that is on pensions.
Nb. I don't begrudge paying pensions just dislike the pack of transparency and manipulation.
I think the nationalisation of water utilities is probably an inevitability now. Mostly excuse they’ve been saddled with £50bn in debt while they’ve neglected the infrastructure and it’s the classic “privatise profits, socialise debt” mantra of these people.
I like the way he says billion.
Just reading this makes me sick. I am a UK national by birth and I have never been more ashamed to be associated with being a Brit.
Billions and billions and billions.
It IS inevitable. 0.6% shrink last quarter and we're not going to bounce back this quarter. Unless your proposed "opportunities" somehow come to life immediately off of the scrap piece of paper you've scribbled them on, and not be an unbridled failure like everything you've ever done, they're not going to change that in time to fix anything. You absolute fecking idiot.
Buck up your ideas, Mr negative. Youre probably a lefty snowflake. If you think positive you get all the economic benefits.

HAHAHAHA militant hacks to unleash strikes that will close right wing rag and starve gammons of their daily dose of anti-woke news and EU-bashing.
Not that the Tories give a flying feck, but...

Why are so many people striking? It’s almost as if years of pay and working environments getting shitter has made people reach their breaking points…
Suspect the solution will be to go ahead regardless and make people stand trial without legal aid?
Terrible solution of course but probably popular that we don't provide legal aid to criminals (and as they will probably all be found guilty without representation they will therefore be criminals )... I expect patel is creaming herself at the chance to bully some lefty lawyers
Surely that's not legally possible unless the person being tried waives their right to representation?
I agree they just don't have the killer instinct do they?
Now is precisely the time to attack when their leader in waiting has to be very careful in what they say in case they frighten the Tory faithful.
Starmer should be going in swinging... throwing 'left/rights /upper-cutter's' .....now whilst both would be Tory leaders are hamstrung in how they can respond.
I despair of every seeing another Labour government in my lifetime... what the feck is Starmer waiting for, in fact the whole shadow cabinet should be out there everyday, addressing everybody in the land... but the Tory faithful!
Well not unless you change the law...
