I had hoped that I had made it clear that in no way do I consider the worth of a migrant (human being), being similar to that of an insect. I did not say that anywhere in any of my posts. The point that I was making is that certain factors motivate all of us as humans whether we be migrants or...

I wanted to make the point that I am not saying that migrants are insects or who's lives have a similar worth. I was comparing motivation. You say migrants will stop coming to the UK once the motivation, jobs, welfare, standard of living have diminished or gone completely. I made the point that...

We can't alter what's been done in the past by our ancestors. Slavery, invading other countries, all wrong but out of our control, so no need for guilt or an apology. I see what you are saying regarding migrants moving on when the advantages of being in a particular place cease. A bit like...

I don't see how us leaving the EU automatically signals the onset of war. What's wrong with us maintaining a friendship, helpful and trade based relationship with other countries in the EU without unelected political interference? If another country has difficulty with the UK extending...

This is the problem. We have Cameron, on the record, clearly stating that he will do everything within his power to expedite Turkey's membership of the EU. Now that it has been pointed out that Turkey joining the EU has the potential to swell the UK's population by several more millions, all of...

I thought that when I watched the advert. That woman's legs were going like bee's wings and she only seemed to be travelling at about10 mph!

Blimey, you can buy a real ebike for that much.

I think they must be advertising mainly on cable / satellite channels. I saw their advert for the first time on BT Sports this afternoon. It's a slick advert, but the bike looks impractical for serious cycling. I think whoever buys one will experience crushing disappointment and it will end up...

I know Kalkhoff bought out a motor manufacturer called Daum a few years ago and now brand that motor as Impulse. Presumably this allows them to reduce the motor cost element of producing an ebike. All done without passing any of the savings on to the customer of course, so yes, they dumped the...

Because I think that for up to £60K it should be possible to hire a competent person. Dedication and belief in the cause are the most valuable qualities a CEO can bring. I think that if someone is prepared to take £100K + out of the charitable donations for their salary, you have to question...

Trex, you always come across as a knowledgeable, polite and reasonable man who checks his facts before posting. So let me make it clear that as far as I am concerned you are not perceived as a shifty dishonest person. I do think you need to seperate the two capacities under which you contribute...

NHS £2,400,000,000 overspent, which is rumoured to be a deliberately reduced figure. Waiting times for critical illness treatment increasing. This is due to demand the population is placing on health services. The equation is simple, more people equals more demand. Staying in the EU exposes us...

I think a good point has been made here. If a person is posting in the capacity of representing a product manufacturer or retailer, then that should be done under a trade account. General advice, banter and questions are fine under a personal account. I don't believe anything had been done...

The value of the pound against the Euro is roughly where it was in 2012 and 2014, but it's lower than it was in 2013. 2015 sees the euro particularly weak against the pound, this is probably due to the Greek financial crisis. The pound is at a satisfactory value against the euro today, but I...

Please do not comment on this thread. Any comments on the Leaving the EU thread please.

A bit harsh!

This is worth watching if you want the truth. If it won't play, search Brexit The Movie on YouTube.

That is an obscene salary. I don't care what the CEO does within the BHF they are not worth that amount of money. They deserve to re-live this moment of their life in eternal shame, brimstone and hellfire. There is a growing trend of massive salaries at this level within charities. They...

All bicycles are powered or else they wouldn't move. It's just that "ordinary" bikes rely on human power alone and our pedelecs use a hybrid system of human and electrical power. I understand the spirit of what they mean though. I still think it's a huge miscalculation by BHF to exclude...

No problem, I like a joke. So, who have you been in contact with at BHF?
