Politically we are in a right mess we seem to have politicians who have only known being in the EU and they are not fit for office in my opinion. I was a long time supporter of the Liberal Democrats and actually voted to remain in the EU but then I asked a few questions about how they would stop...

Are you mad France and Spain has crippling issues like ourselves and huge debts. The EU has been a huge disaster for many countries of Europe. What do you mean continued failures, just because we leave the EU it doesn't mean the industries return in a puff of smoke or the huge burden of debt...

That makes zero sense even for you. We made huge contributions to the EU and ended up with a huge trade deficit with the EU and much of industry destroyed as we couldn't compete in Europe with the high value of sterling. Then we had to pay more for goods from outside Europe because of EU tariffs...

The Decathlon looks good value but with regards torque sensing they say the more you pedal the more assistance where as with torque sensing it normally says the harder you pedal the more assistance so unsure if its torque or cadence sensing as the text is a bit confusing. For a general purpose...

Why on earth did we pay that when you see such shipments coming through Germany or ex-iron curtain countries coming through today with false declarations of value. I know this because I've bought goods from pswpower and other sites and you can see the declaration is false yet has come through...

There was a sky news presenter who moved to the BBC with a huge pay increase and some of the BBC wages are astronimical and make no sense at all like Zoe Ball. However I have to agree with you with regards the past wage situation. I too remember when ITV stole from the BBC but that was a long...

It was just moronic legislation from the EU. It makes zero sense and most ebikes in the world have throttles across Asia, Africa etc. It's simple and reliable. Still legal to own and use a ebike sold in the UK before 2017 with a twist and go throttle. Luckily with ebike legislation being so...

Where is your data to support independent tv pays more and there is 95% support for the BBC? Again when you look for data you are swamped with nonsense from tv licensing and the BBC when you google but a few polls show the reality...

I don't disagree with your point about the world service but have no idea what it costs or how it should be funded. If someone can make the case that it has a very positive effect on the UK's reputation and it is worth that cost then so be it. My main point about the BBC is that it should be...

Wouldn't the Carrera Intercity Disc be a better folding bike to electrify. It has better all weather mechanical disc brakes is likely stronger than the Dahon (which focuses more on being lightweight) and is considerably better value. Most Dahon bikes are made by other factories, many of them...

I'm not sure I'd agree that Margaret Thatcher was evil but she was completely incompetent and hugely damaging to our country. She sold off assets cheaply and destroyed much of our industry. So at least we can both agree she was terrible even if its for different reasons. When you look at the...

I don't see anything less biased about the BBC news service compared to others but even if I did you could separate the news service from general entertainment and just fund that from taxation which would be a small fraction of the current license fee. The BBC certainly doesn't protect our...

I think one of the causes of battery fires is fast charging. I saw a video on youtube which I think was from India showing how some BMS's can't cope with high current chargers that well especially smaller battery packs. Fast charging puts the cells under more stress, shortens their life and is...

The important bit is would they try to reclaim the bike from the new owner or just prosecute the person who obtained the bike on the scheme. I can't see anything happening to the person who bought the bike or any attempt to reclaim that property. If you buy stuff on a credit card, sell it for...

That's infrastructure for a country hardly comparable to an entertainment service. Of course we all have to pay for such infrastructure and while not directly linked to tax on motorists its clear motorists do pay a huge amount of tax where as someone who only cycles does not. It's an...

I don't think the cycle to work scheme has had any effect on prices or very little its been other factors like the pandemic and the Ukraine war that has caused a good chunk of world inflation. Bike prices are starting to come down now as bike demand drops. The Cycle to work scheme is another...

If you are happy with the service, fine I have no problem with that but forced taxation should be about essential services not an entertainment service. So those who want the BBC services should pay for them and those that don't do not. It's as simple as that. I don't have a TV license so can't...

I'm pretty sure the BBC pays more than ITV typically for similar roles and ITV controls costs much better. As for quality I can't remember the show but I saw a clip of it at my mother's house who has a TV license and the sitcom in question was unbelievable crude and unfunny and I've never seen...

Definitely I am very anti-BBC. I'm not sure I'm exaggerating though as it states additional musicians on a freelance basis which would be in addition to the 400 contract musicians. It's a grossly inefficient organisation and nowadays less and less of the license fee is actually going into...

The DIY route should be cheaper, easier to repair and customise and also mean later you could move the ebike kit to another bike possibly if you wore out or damaged the original bike. It's probably easier to exceed the 25km/h limit with a kit too I would of thought, easier to hack , set the...
