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.
With the Tories there's always a bigger cnut.
Not at all. Why would they? They are utterly unaccountable and completely untouchable.
Corruption? Ignore it.
Inquiry Results? Reject them.
Formal independent findings of bullying? Shrug
Blatant failures exposed? Say the people just want us to get on with job and blank it.
Press scrutiny? Exclude them and make sure your people control the media and get the stories.
Caught lying? Lie again, warp reality and deny it.
And their poll lead continues to grow...and their majority is unassailable.

I would get the sack for doing this
Well not if your employer had told you it was OK... like it seems their employer did
That must be rubbish though. I work for a local authority and they would shit themselves if I used my personal email for work purposes and then they would shit all over me. At a national Government level? Can't be right.
Also, the governing body for my job would probably ban me, even if I somehow avoided the sack.
Dunno I mean I work at government level with dozens of governments have no issues being security vetted by over 50 governments and use Gmail regularly with them... probably its more hassle to administer but if its if a net benefit I guess they don't care about the admin

Nope. They don’t need to. Enough Idiots have nailed their colours to the mast. They defend the abhorrent. Rewind 10/20/30 years and the same people would be protesting against corruption.
Those same idiots now consume Murdoch content that constantly reminds them that they’re on the ‘winning’ team.
We’re fcuked.
Only true because you didn’t go to Eton, Oxbridge and study Political Economics and/or Classics. If you had, you’d have a get out of shit free card. Forever.
Fair enough, sounds like you work much further up the government chain than me, so would definitely know better. I'm just at a (very) local level. What I can say is, we can't go a four week period without some reminder about data security. There's even a reminder on our screensaver.
Probably more likley I help them achieve external targets and make them look good so they are more flexible ... local government it typically harder in my experience that national... or at least whe the national government tells theocal government its ok they just accept it
Edit just to say there can be logical reasons to use Gmail or similar in some instances
I believe they also use a messaging system, similar to WhatsApp, but that deletes any message history. If I recall, it was being investigated...
Seize the means of erection.
I think it depends on the nature of your job. If you're just a non state security secretary or clerical duty arranging to buy utensils using your personal mail to order some work related purchase.
Or perhaps there are things that needs to be said off the record.
/shrug.
Politics Joe has nailed it again:
My god Johnson at PMQs, astonishingly bad.
Some government departments use Gmail, but they set up and administer those accounts. There is a difference between that and using personal Gmail.
Is it now stipulated that whenever Boris is on-site at a warehouse or factory that he has to be gifted a jacket with PRIME MINISTER emblazoned on it alongside the company's logo? Nissan are the latest perpetrators. Nauseating.
It's also worth noting that they aren't disclosing how much the British taxpayer is going to have to pay for Nissan to stay.
I really could not have described this government behaviours any better.
They are contemptible in the extreme.
Boris treats being the leader of the UK as a joke.
I cannot wait until he and his party are given a bloody nose.
But I know that this is unlikely to happen, at least in the short term.
Meanwhile, they carry on knowing that they can do whatever they want with impunity.
I have given up on listening/watching PMQ. It has become even more of a circus than ever.
Starmer gets 6 questions and Boris makes zero attempt to even understand the question question let alone provide an answer.
Waste of time.
Gotta love those free trading Brexiteers
I think PMQs would be better if every opposition MP was allowed a follow-up question. Bozo never answers but at least some bank benchers could get it on record.
Absolute state of this:
Creasing that when the camera panned back to him after his whining over the Union flag, he was literally wearing one on his fecking face.
Bet he has Union flag socks and boxers too the fecking full kit wanker
Speaker does feck all to get Bozo to answer the questions.
Galloway is just a poisonous cnut like Farage.
Ive seen figures of £100m banded about. Must be a significant sum of money.
Yep. Thought I would have a look on the Worker's Party website. Thought it looked interesting for a second or two, then saw a picture of Galloway...won't be going back.
Galloway will appeal on multiple grounds....
"I lost...."
They can't count..."
I didn't win....."
Its very unfair..."
The result was stolen from me..."
......where have we heard all this before?
