He has been embroiled in so many dodgy dealings. He got there because he's a smooth talker and I have never liked him. I did like Pompidou.

we are grateful for their help in the WW2 but we are not following US politics like Brits. Still, public opinion is very much against what Monsieur Poutine is doing in Ukraine and France does what she can for Ukraine.

I actually am happier now that treasury orthodoxy is making a come back.

what I believe is completely different to your view. Russia is fine until Ukraine elected Poroshenko in 2014. It becomes clear where Ukrainians are heading, away from Russia and eventually, join the EU. Putin wanted to stop that by force. He now theatens all NATO countries. Putin needs to be...

'root causes' is an easy word. Where would you stop? The Napoleonic war?

I would recommend a crank drive bike or convert your bike with a crank drive kit. Rear hub motors have a problem with breaking spokes which is worsened with the weight of the rider. Your weight needs a large motor which need thicker spokes and thicker spokes are not as elastic as thin spokes so...

You condemn Putin and yet tried to put the blame on the USA and NATO. That may appear sophisticated to others but to me, it is incoherent. Politicians can misuse the power invested in them. When they do, removing them from power is totally justified. The world is bad enough without needing those...

no, you did not say those things in clear text but I think it's easy to guess where you stand on issues of foreign policies when it concerns the superpowers. I merely point out the potential contradiction in your posts.

are you saying that they should not have a foreign policy toward Russia because that would be interfering? Are you also implying that the CIA shouldn't exist?

Reagan, Bush, Obama etc could not foresee what Putin is going to do. So mustn't the USA do anything because of possible consequences in years to come?

it's the consequence of cakeism than BJ and the brexiteers are so fond of. Truss and KK will eventually get it that the rest of the world doesn't want to pay for her tax cuts.

Putin does not care for the authority of the UN. He threatens everyone blocking his way with nuclear weapons. I think we should drop one on his house.

don't worry about if 250w will do it. All it is, you will go up more slowly compared to a more powerful motor. It's best to stay legal though, a) it's cheaper, b) it stresses less your bike and c) it's lighter.

that won't work. Post some pictures, people on here will help you with how to open the casing of your motor. The planetary gears don't need regreasing for about 3,000 miles. How many miles have you done?

the Pound and FTSE rose a bit before Truss & KK meet with the OBR but after the meeting, the OBR won't publish its forecast until 23-November. Predictable reaction: Pound and FTSE fell.

Truss and KK don't believe they need to count, they just got the BoE to print £65 billions for them to spend last Wednesday. No wonder they can't see how they can fail. You want growth? They'll print some more.

the pound will settle when we have demonstrated fiscal responsibility, no unfunded spending, especially on buying votes. our economy will slip behind Italy's and we'll be out of the G7 in a year or two.

I saw LT on TV this morning. Still defiant. Reaction of the market? the FTSE is falling very sharply. FTSE100 -2.24%, FTSE250 -2.53%, GBP/USD 1.07 The pension funds hold about £1 trillion of treasury bonds. They lost 30% of bonds value. At this rate, the 1922 commitee will have to change their...

I found once a battery with similar symptoms. It turned out that one of the cells had one of its welding spots undone.

we have dozens of them around Southend High Street, mostly deliveroos. After e-bikes, we have electric/hybrid cars (Toyotas) and motorbikes.
