    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really need to take off the blinkers and think outside the box in radical ways. The country will still be as productive and probably even more so. Ergo the same or more money is coming in and can be evenly distributed into tax requirements and the standard equal incomes for all. And the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You aren't grasping the concept, I see Danidl did immediately. There wouldn't be any one needing financial help with a standard living income. Nobody would ever need to save anything for retirement with their standard living income lasting for whole life, as rich in retirement as always. But...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'd long got use to everyone shopping solo in supermarkets as requested during Covid precautions with mothers making other arrangements for looking after their kids while they shopped. But yesterday when I went for my shop the supermarket was alive with loads of kids with mothers or playing...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's an odd reading of my post. It was about changing working life, not pensioners? Under my proposals there would be no pensioners or working people. We'd all be citizens with a continuous living income thoughout life. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why? We don't need to work anything like as much as we do, something pointed out by Harold Wilson very long ago and the others side's Harold, Macmiillan, was in agreement. That is even more true today. Mechanisation, robotics and computerisation can do most of what people are doing or...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not normal for adults. Teenagers fretting about appearance and imagining imperfections often dislike themselves, even to sadly commiting suicide on occasion. But mentally healthy adults are unshakeably self assured about the uniqueness of their own perfection and how fortunate the world is to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Stupidity is never common sense. Considering the large degree that the English are also French since the hundreds of years of Norman rule and mixing, being anti-French for many would be like spitting at one's own image in a mirror. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I doubt you'll ever get it. Danidl has explained in part, but my position is that once one chooses a policy it's best to stick with it for it's pluses and minuses. Not constantly switch tack as this government has repeatedly done. At the outset they started relaxed with talk about herd...

    They balance out, the fresh air, physical and mental freedoms versus the disadvantages of crowds and social venues. That is what Sweden taught us, swings and roundabouts; leading to similar death rate results, but not costing £400 billions, a wrecked economy and seriously damaged educations...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I learnt how to deal with Covid-19 last year, practiced it and preached it, but then got savagely criticised and insulted in here for that. Meanwhile our government and experts got it completely wrong. Now their latest advice in TV ads is a complete reversal of that they were saying and they...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's why I've been maintaining that the fierce lockdown approach we've used is the wrong one and that a more relaxed approach can pay off as some others have proved. There is far more to the transmission than simply proximity and contact, and that is one reason why our lockdowns have failed to...

    Help! The Pedelec Law has got me thinking .

    Yes, 36 volt 250 watts during many of the years when our British EAPC law limited pedelecs to 200 watts. That never worried the police riding them, so a label certainly wouldn't. Devon and Cornwall police ride Segways on their local streets at least once a year and the use of those on the...

    Help! The Pedelec Law has got me thinking .

    I wouldn't worry too much. For most of the life of pedelecs they haven't even been labelled or haven't had the required information on the label but it doesn't seem to have worried the police. A number of our UK police forces have actually used e-bikes for various duties or for trial periods...
