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.

do you really believe more weapons keep peace? Look at history. More defense spending = more risks of war, not less.

I was and still is working in IT. vfr400 thought that I may chuckle reading your post #5. If you look up Companies House record, you can find that Woosh Bikes has always been headed by my wife, Harriet, she prefers to be called Hatti. She and I started an IT company in 1982 and she is still that...

there are a few negatives. There is the smell of melted PLA plastic. It's not very bad because the plastic is made from sugar so it does not smell as bad as plastic made from oil, but I get a bit of a headache from it. Next, you have to get the temperature of the heated bed right. It varies from...

those countries are current members of NATO. What makes you think that they would handle control to NATO more than they would to the EU?

which country do you think can boss Australia around? The USA of course. The fight for supremacy between the top two countries in the world, China and USA, is going to come sooner or later. USA is going to lose this time. Germany is nudging itself toward Russia and China. It's just a matter...

your comparison is wrong. There was a contract between France and Australia which has already been partly executed and was signed by Australia's previous PM Malcolm Turnbull. The new Australian PM Scott Morrison wanted to break this contract for some time, since June. It's like your firm ordered...

all the elements with atomic number 93+ (above Uranium) are man made, there are no patent as far as I know. I suspect that the reason that this guy (Pais) got those silly patents is to avoid peers reviews. He knows very well that matter acquires mass through the Higgs mechanism. Reducing the...

I think you confuse several things. It's about going back on a deal that has been signed by a previous government. If Australia simply buys more of US technology, Macron would have nothing to say. It's like BJ and the NI protocol.

the main problem with selling/buying transactions with the EU is not so much the costs. Transport and VAT are easily sorted. Documentation is the main problem. Most of the goods are manufactured abroard, in principle, we have to claim import duty and VAT paid to HMRC on each item and pay the EU...

our patent system can't dismiss unrealistic and unpractical ideas. In principle, you can for example transmute one element into another by bombarding it with electrons/protons/neutrons etc but you can't realistically or practically transmute a piece of jewellery because it would vaporise quite...

these ideas are pipedreams. The guy who invented/imagined them can't supply the calculations to support his ideas.

pure speculation. Macron did not make any such suggestion. He wants to appear tough because French presidential elections start April 22. Not long to go. But giving up the UNSC seat? not for a very long time.

then the government should increase their winter fuel allowance to compensate.
