    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think that some, but not all, Brexit voters don’t think they were / are wrong. They firmly believe that Brexit is the right decision for them. Brexit won’t suit everyone, but it will benefit some. Both leave and remain have lost all credibility. Leave have lost credibility by making overly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Women are pre-programmed to disagree with each other, fall out and dig their heals in even when they know they are wrong, rather than concede to another woman. It’s a huge problem.

    Absolutely nothing at all to do with cycling. That’s why it’s posted in The Charging Post section of the site. A section dedicated non-cycling related matters. Read the site etiquette & weep

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course the above scenario, the smuggling of cheese or any other product, would need to take place on a massive scale to make any significant impact on the HMRC takings. To operate on such a massive scale, it would rely on a EU nation, in this case Ireland‘s government, to be complicit in the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Regarding the Irish Border “problem” I can’t see there ever being a hard border between Northern & Southern Ireland. Whichever deal is reached, WTO, Customs Union or Single Market, no one will ever impose a hard border. No one, except the EU are demanding it. Say for example, no deal is reach...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It’s not all bad news today. Judges are to get a £60000 / year pay rise. See, the end of austerity is in sight and that’s one less group of people who will need to utilise food banks.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You mentioned “hard work” to obtain the degrees. Many of these degrees are little more than attendance certificates. My niece realised she had been conned during her first year at university when lecture time was just 1.5 hours per week. Fortunately she had the gumption to see it was heading...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    40% of young adults can’t afford to buy a house. Just shows what an impact the higher cost of the iPhone X and Xs has had on young people’s finances. Add on top of that, student loan repayments for pretend degrees taken in pretend subjects at pretend universities and it starts to looks pretty...

    Consequence of sprocket size change?

    I would say you need a 35 tooth chain wheel, a larger motor sprocket and larger rear sprocket. The perceived affect would be a higher pedal cadence, but lighter pedal effort.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can’t see families waving granny off at the dockside as she sets sail on the banana boat to be cared for by some injuns. The reality is that immigration policy will be flexible and it will adapt to suit workforce demands. That’s always been the intention.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I’m not sure that I understand why we would need to transfer our pensioners to the other side of the world. I agree regarding single occupancy accommodation. Many town centre shops which are now empty are being converted to flats in my area. I think this is a good use of existing property. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We will have plenty of housing if we reduce the population. It is the continuation of the state sponsored breeding program which is the problem. We should stop all financial, educational and housing assistances for second children born after a future cut off date. A good proportion of them are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They are more than just remnants, the greater part of New Labour has not been destroyed, so we still need to be very cautious about exactly what Labour stands for. I still think Labour poses a greater threat to ordinary, working & financially sensible people than the Tory party. I don’t like...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It’s not so much Corbyn that I don’t trust. Even though I disagree with many things he says, I think he’s straight. It’s the millionaire barristers, privileged background career politicians and left wing lunatics masquerading as “of the people “ that troubles me.

    Huge increase in UK e-bikes

    I think there is one called a Jubilee, which I have ridden. Very nice, but I think the Raleigh Motus (virtually the same thing) is better as it has disc brakes.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree with all of that. We just need someone with those big balls to bring it in and face down those who have something to gain, either politically or financially, by objecting to it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It’s the no attenders who need targeting. If a pattern of failing to cancel appointments develops, they should suffer a reduced level of service. Maybe they could be made to sit in the car park all day and wait on the off-chance of a fellow waster not bothering to turn up sometime during that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If we get Corbyn and a Labour government, all hard working people who have budgeted sensibly, lived within their means, saved for their futures and tried to improve themselves can watch out. This is exactly the sort of person despised by Labour. They see it as their duty to attack you, vilify...
