The 'Brexit' camp has always been dismissive of those of us who have identified the rise of the far-right in several countries in concert with the overtly fascist rhetoric from Farage and his evil accomplices and supporters. There have been various instances of typical fascist behaviour, not...

In 1968, my payslip revealed an element of my wages known as 'Scarcity Allowance' which reflected that company's desire to attract and retain good quality staff. Such were the opportunities then that I left in 1969! Those were the days when we were paid in accordance with the provisions of the...

I can't help but repeatedly draw attention to the fact that the government determined to make a success of 'Brexit' even though 48% of voters don't want to leave the EU, is the same nasty bunch of people whose prime motive is further enriching the already wealthy at the expense of ordinary...

The Yorkshire blogger whom I follow because I like his take on things political has just produced an interesting piece today which goes some way to explaining how it isn't austerity, cuts and discredited monetary policies which mend broken economies. Once again, I have to say that our...

Could you share that answer then 'Blew it'? I certainly don't understand why you have raised this and although I'm occasionally slow on the uptake, I suspect there are other readers of these pages who will be as intrigued as I am. Tom

Dave, I'm delighted to hear your B.I.L. is in better health today and there are millions of people around these islands who, like you, would attest to the value and commitment of our immigrant population, a huge number of whom nowadays are British-born anyway. The British people happily...

Excellent Bob! Tom

Usually, internet trolls just crawl back under their stone once they have been found out and everyone eventually notices that they have nothing to offer except criticism of others in forum discussions. 'Pedelecs' seems to have acquired a particularly thick-skinned troll! It seems that...

Apparently, the honours price list for next year's honours list is already available: http://voxpoliticalonline.com/2016/12/31/crony-knighthood-for-company-boss-who-gave-930000-to-tories-their-2017-price-list-now-available/ Tom

What kind of society are we living in when this goes on and the media doesn't even bother to report it widely? http://voxpoliticalonline.com/2016/12/31/as-the-homeless-death-count-grows-tories-must-be-delighted/ Meanwhile, the completely pointless and superfluous monarchy exercises its right...

There's an interesting piece from 'Vox Political' regarding the situation in Palestine. I don't suppose Theresa Maybeyesmaybeno reads that blog though! http://voxpoliticalonline.com/2016/12/30/should-the-uk-go-to-war-with-israel-because-of-new-zealand/ Tom

Another offering I missed from the Guardian illustrates the kind of propaganda our mid-20th century, wartime government utilised, undoubtedly for the best of reasons, but it is disturbing that so many of our 21st century public have such a poor knowledge of history which goes some way to...

I missed this article back in August but it is interesting that someone is still around (unless she has popped her clogs since August) who can tell us what Goebbels was really like. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/15/brunhilde-pomsel-nazi-joseph-goebbels-propaganda-machine?CMP=fb_gu...

This is classic, fascist propaganda, straight out of the master's textbook - you know the one - a short, German chap called Goebbels who told us that if you tell a lie big enough and often enough, etc....... These media organs, mostly owned by fascist fanatics, are all guilty of publishing the...

How does that old saying go......? You know the one - 'If you can't stand the heat.....etc. Tom

.....said Private Frazer!:D Tom

I can remember the 'Copenhagen' wheel being discussed but I think it failed to take off for the reasons you just mentioned flecc. Tom

My brother-in-law who spends most of his time these days in Ebay, which is somewhere in the Amazon region, has sent me the attached link because he knows I ride an EAPC. Now, this may be old hat and could have been discussed to death in these pages for all I know but I thought I'd throw it up...

Toecutter, I can't begin to imagine what I wrote in post #2 which drew from you a dislike icon? Your work stand is fine - it will serve your needs very well, I'm sure as many subscribers to this forum have the distinctly similar Aldi/Lidl model - this page from 2014 lists the comments from...

Toecutter, although I'm sure my Aldi or Lidl stand was quite a bit cheaper a couple or three years ago, £40 is still a reasonable price for what should prove to be a perfectly capable stand without the expense of a better-engineered pro-workshop model. Most bike stands are pretty much alike in...
