BBCQT went to Snape yesterday, a villSuffolk where remainers seem to be more numerous than brexiters. 5 minutes in, nearly all the audience clapped at a member of the audience asked why don't we rejoin the single market and customs union. Virtually nobody now believes 'there is no downside to...

agreed. Rachel Reeves managed a few good jokes in her reply but could not come up with any substantially better idea. quote: The Chancellor and Prime Minister are trying to convince us that the problems Britain faces are nothing to do with them. That the mini-budget, which imposed a Tory...

there is a theory that suggests that we follow the normal sequence of all civilisations, all destined to destroy their home planets and die out. That is also one likely reason why we could not contact any extra terrestrial intelligent lifeforms.

they used to supply both. It's easy to tell if you post some pictures.

The main reason for dissatisfaction is the first pass the post voting system that reduces the choice of policy to just the two largest parties. When the second party does not look like government in waiting, the first party becomes complacent and corrupt. The main issues for the centre are...

You can ask your supplier for wiring diagrams. most of the time, your best cell grouping is pretty intuitive and at last resort, you have google images and this forum. e-bike batteries usually prioritize gravimetric density, the batteries get smaller and smaller over time so there is little...

that almost applies to the LibDems. Occupying the centre does not mean you have to be at the centre. You can be left or right leaning, as long as the distribution of your policies keep most people happy.

The job of the government is to govern for all people, that means to occupy the centre of politics. I have seen Labour under Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock, John Smith, then Tony Blair breaking the cycle, Gordon Brown, Ed Miliband, Jeremy Corbyn and now Keir Starmer. Each time, I said to myself...

True Labour is what won elections.

true Labour = what? there is already a communist party of United Kingdom.

Starmer will be PM in 2024, don't you worry, Zlatan. He only has to avoid saying too much . The conservatives won't need any competition to lose the next election with internal fighting, those who love BJ against those who loath him.

Surprise, surprise. Huw Pill, chief economist at the BoE suggested that printing £450 bn in the two covid years is responsible for the rise in cost of living. A bitter pill: At last! Top Bank of England official finally concedes printing money - and lockdown - fuelled inflation crisis (msn.com)

I don't have a problem with Kwarteng saying that the mini budget wasn't his idea. It was probably Chris Philp's that Flecc knows well. My problem is that the conservative party has run out of good people since the brexiters took over. All the better ones voted for the losing side in 2016 and got...

It's making the news at the moment: Kwarteng said that he had warned Ms Truss about going at a “breakneck speed” with economic measures after the mini-Budget. “She said, ‘well, I’ve only got two years’ and I said, ‘you will have two months if you carry on like this’. And that is, I’m afraid...

CS is usually programmed with speed control: assist levels are paired with increasing speeds, level 1 with 8-9mph, level 2 10-11, level 3 12-14 etc. These pairings don't stop you go fast, they only affect how power is delivered but result in two minor irritations: 1) too much acceleration when...

when you think about that, the Pound could not be exchanged for gold since Bretton Woods. The money you have in your bank account is just a number, it's no safer than a NFT held on some computer. Shares you hold at some brokers don't even have certificates. Your bank cards are also prime...

18650 20R cells are typical for use in power tools. 2000mAH, 22A maximum discharge current per cell. Suitable for high output to the detriment of longer life. When a brand is unknown, it is usually made in China. 20R cells are not ideal to make high capacity batteries for e-bikes. for that, you...

Germany is legalising weed. You can have 30g in your pockets and 3 plants in your flat per person.

Well, that's the world we live in. If Mark Zuckerberg sells land in his metaverse, I would be tempted.

I blame the replacement of metal parts with plastic.
