    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolutely. Many other countries have shown a great deal of good-will towards the UK and put their faith in what May & Johnson have told them regarding this Salisbury poisoning incident. The pair of them have let us all down and made this country appear foolish & unreliable. They will have also...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I see that a few hairline cracks are starting to appear in the international condemnation of Russia which May initiated. A senior German minister is asking, shouldn’t one have a certain amount of evidence if you are forcing nearly all NATO countries into solidarity? That seams perfectly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, which rather undermines the arguments made by some on here that Brexit is a Tory plot which has been calculated to screw workers. As you say, they don't need to leave the EU to do that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well, a bit more actually. It indicates that this sort of assault can still potentially happen regardless of whether you are in or out of the EU. I mention this because you have been one of the most vocal in stating that precisely what is being proposed by Macron, attacks on worker's rights and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I was listening to the wireless on my way into work this evening and there was an interesting announcement regarding President Macron's assault on French labour laws, benefits, terms and conditions. Amongst other things on his hit list is the end to the 35 hour week, severe restrictions on...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Don’t those figures relate to all forms of crime. London does seem to be a hot spot for the crime of murder. An interesting statistic would be murder per square metre. With all those people crammed in on top of each other and more arriving daily from goodness knows where, I should imagine that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think a lot of that happens by default because London happens to have been nominated as the capital city. Companies invest in London because of its capital status and the associated prestige that brings . For example, it is more prestigious for a company to be located on London than it is in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What do you mean, "long ago"? The fire sale is still very much on. If its got value and the possibility of an earner, its for sale.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    17,000 have quit the Labour party? I imagine Corbyn is quite disappointed with that figure, I thought he was aiming higher, more likely the 100,000+ mark. He need to make further lunatic appointments if he is ever to reach his goal.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, Labour have put their top man on the case to sort things out. Eddie Izzard takes up the post in a few days time.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can’t really argue with any of that. But equally, details are so scant with desirable political capital available for so many, that it’s possible to make a range of diverse scenarios fit. If an accusation of the use of chemical weapons is going to be levelled at a foreign nation, then I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't know what was said and I wouldn't rule out that she presented overwhelming evidence that left them in no doubt. But, I think that is highly unlikely. If the evidence was available, why not make it public? If it is in the national interest, in terms of security, not to make the evidence...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As Zlatan says, we have Trident, which is true. But that is all we have, either very little or the nuclear option which is a highly dangerous situation. This is what troubles me about that bitch May. Regardless of what anyone says, I still have not seen any evidence of Russia's involvement in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Zlatan, there are quite a few areas where we agree with each other and there are some things upon which our opinions differ. I’m pleased that we always remain polite and respectful when communicating. Like flecc, I have voted Labour and Conservative. Unlike flecc, I have also voted UKIP and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Politics aside, so much about this Salisbury incident doesn’t make sense. The briefest of scrutiny raises many questions, all of which have either been conveniently ignored or been given wholly unsatisfactory answers. From the premature & choreographed vilification of Russia to the ever changing...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If this deadly, fast acting military grade poison was on the door handle of the home address, presumably only one of them touched it as they either entered or exited the house and then due to the highly toxic nature of the substance, very easily contaminated the other. Once the hands had been...

    Shaft drive Ebikes?

    My 8 speed works extremely well over very varied terrain and has an ample range of ratios. The problem seems to be with the newer 11 speed hubs and the newer motors.

    TM is not a dictator, she would like to be, but she has the personality of a rapist, the charisma of a dog turd and the ability of a retard. For these reasons, she will never curry favour with enough, sufficiently influential people, to remain in power. I think a benevolent dictatorship, if...

    Shaft drive Ebikes?

    I've not heard much about the 11 speed hub, but suspected that it might be weaker than the 8 speed.

    Shaft drive Ebikes?

    Similar, if not the same overall gear range but lots more tiny little steps in-between. Good luck.
