    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not to mention the mass desertion of EU health workers from the NHS and the collapse of recruiting from the EU from several thousands a month to effectively zero within just seven months of 2016. And the resulting over 6 year waiting list the NHS now has for important and often vital...

    Tax relief on charitable giving will account for a large sum. The charity I'm on the committee of gets donations on which we claim tax relief from HMRC, boosting the total received. .

    The police are only likely to act if you are involved in an accident, but then the illegal use could cost you points on any driving licence you have and an increase in annual driving insurance prices. .

    What do you think about being paid to report parking in cycle lanes

    Possibly not, since people would be reporting parking in hatched line cycle lanes which is not illegal. I doubt many of the general public know the difference. We have very few continuous line mandatory cycle lanes in Britain. .

    The immediate question is, will Sunak give him a job? I'd give Johnson Northern Ireland Secretary, the shambles meeting the chaotic, Neither make sense to us, but they might make sense to each other. .

    Cyclist Cop Dies

    The reason is the fundamental that any vehicle user is expected to be able to stop for, or avoid, anything that may occur. That is especially true for pedestrians who are only exercising their natural function, while vehicle users are the ones doing the unnatural thing, so have the entire...

    Johnson: "You step down and I'll make you Chancellor". Sunak: "No, you step down and I'll make you Foreign Secretary again". ;) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Best for the public too. With both Covid and the Energy crisis he's shown himself to be support minded, so he's likely to continue with at least some support from April's price increase. Unlike Hunt who wants to stop it completely, which would be a disaster for many. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I hope he does, since otherwise I could see Mordaunt winning. And that I absolutely do not want to happen, since she is a Brexiter who has previously backed Truss, two proofs of very poor judgement. Added to which I am going to be blatantly sexist in saying I do not want a fourth Tory...

    Pondering on motor power ...

    The Enviolo hub gear can't compare with the Nexus 8 for efficiency and I'd say that is a major factor. Add the power difference between the two motors and combined there's the over 25% difference in experienced climb performance, leading to your exhaustion. Swapping out the Enviolo for a...

    Within a few minutes of my posting this the BBC were discussing the same on the News. Shows once again what I've always maintained, that the authorities do closely follow the Brexit Thread. :) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Simple solution to stop the Tories getting away with three Prime Ministers in one parliament. When their choice presents themselves to the Palace for acceptance, King Charles refuses to accept them on constitutional grounds**, thus forcing a General Election as the only way out of the impasse...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, Truss has finally bowed to the inevitable. But that solves nothing. With the prospect now of three Prime Ministers in rapid succession from this party since the country voted Tory, we need a new General Election this time. .

    I shouldnt have switched off the telly. The last word I heard was someone saying it was going to be Sunak. It really is changes by the hour now. I can't imagine anyone less suited to be Home Secretary than Grant Shapps. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    . Maybe squirting a bit of xylometazoline or oxymetazoline nasal spray at the eyes. This contracts the tiny Müller’s muscle in the back of the upper eyelid to raise it, actually widening an open eye. It also constricts blood vessels, so the whites of the eyes appear whiter. Similar to the...
