I believe Labour may have turned the corner from this conference. Kier does not make himself more electable but by giving Rachel Reeves the finance job, he's made Labour more attractive to industries. Reeves believes in QE but not nationalisation.

that was JC, RLB and John McDonnell's Labour party.

does anyone follow the German elections? that looks like Germany moves from centre right to centre left: SPD + Greens + ? The third partner could be the left party (DIE LiNKE). 25% + 15% + 5%.

it was Margaret Thatcher who pushed the EEC to enlarge.

Oppenheimer did contribute to the creation of the bomb with his Oppenheimer-Phillips Process, Deuterium is used to initiate the chain reaction.

that's not born out by reality. The USA has only attacked forces far inferior to its own.

says who? the USA?

John Simpson interviewed Pakistan's PM Imran Khan on News24, Afghanistan: the Pakistan view. @Zlatan: you should watch it. How the American politicians always prefer military solutions and end up making every situation worse. NATO is the typical American solution to contain Russia. It's on...

are you saying that without NATO, this country would have been invaded and can't defend itself? by who?

if you have the 328rpm Q70, you keep the speed (you can run the bike up to 37kph on a flat road when derestricted, 1.89M * 328 * 60/1000) but the climbing torque is poor. If you have the 201rpm motor, top assist speed is 22.7kph and climbing torque is much, much better, up to 40NM. A better...

you close your mind to the idea that many NATO members - UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy etc can defend themselves without the USA. They have already enough sticks to wipe out humanity. They are bullied into joining and buying US armaments under the excuse of compatibility but they don't need...

NATO's purpose is the use of force for security. It does not keep peace. It wages wars, nevermind what you want to call them, war on terror, war in Afghanistan, Kosovo, etc. It threatens essentially those who are enemies of the USA. One thing it does not do is to keep peace. Europe would be...

the Q70 on the Brompton kit is a front motor optimised for the Brompton wheel whose circumference is 1.3M. your Dahon P8 Glide has 47-507 tyres, 1.89M circumference, it will be outside its optimal setting, you'll keep the speed but lose a fair bit (30%) of torque, maximum torque is 40NM *...

Why do you try to blame the EU for something outside its constitutional treaties? there is already a conflict resolution mechanism outside the EU, the United Nation's Security Council whose members have plenty of big sticks as you say. NATO is an American creation, its interest is mainly to...

we have the power but our government chooses to wave the EU trucks straight through to avoid delay. The EU offers a veterinary deal so these controls can be removed both ways. Our government chooses not to go down that route. Our argument is that would restrict our ability to do deals with other...

Vice-versa, EU sausages are subject to the same veterinary controls when imported into UK.

That's true, but will we do such a thing? We need to trade with the EU, they are our biggest market. Since the first of January this year, I can't send bikes to France, Spain, Portugal, ROI, kits to a lot more countries. It does not matter much until now because I am short of bikes but looking...

There is no point to train for a guerilla resistance. Taiwan is part of China. Same people, same language, same history. It is an autonomous region at present but it will eventually be part of China again. Half of the Taiwanese don't see it as a problem. I doubt that Japan, South Korea or...

Did you mean The 'Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community' or The 'Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland'? The latter is part of the former. We signed up to the withdrawal agreement...

That's what the arm dealers and our own arm manufacturers tell you. In reality, preparing for war will push us more toward conflicts, not less.
