    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, I was taking the electric car excuse for what it is... an excuse. The bulk of a visible car remains the same. A chassis,bent steel,seats, doors , glass lights entertainment system,an assembly plant. R&D and modelling,paint consultants etc...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    From what I picked up,she is potentially eligible to apply for Bangladeshi citizenship, on the basis her mothers birthplace,not that she is herself is a Bangladesh. That is unbelievably sloppy and cavalier by your Home Office. She is still an EU citizen, so has every right to appeal to the ECJ.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, it is not my business. I am not a pawn whose citizenship can be erased by an administrative fiat. I am a citizen in a republic,the powers of which government are limited by a constitution. I will remain post March in a supranational organisation called tge EU which will also vindicate...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Its not a windup. She is not my or the Bangladeshi responsibility, she is the responsibility of the UK state. Are you so taken up with your clever wordplay that you cannot see that UK citizenship is now a sham? If a Minister of your Government can unilaterally remove citizenship at the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No I was referring to the child,as she was , not the new infant. Tonight was the first BBC report I actually saw referring to this and I am even more scandalised by the UK Home Office. The excuse they use as a justication is that a totally uninvolved third country Bangladesh is expected to...

    Electric cars, motorbikes and boats

    The liquid air brings the power density up a sufficient amount...I was surprised also.,and certainly saw them as an alternative to the smelly motorbikes in Saigon. The value of cyrogenic is that it scales wonderfully. .you need double the capacity,? increase the height of the walls ,or the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is an unjust appalling decision made without reference to the human rights of the child,as she was,and made for crude political opportunism. Pres.Trump in one of his more coherent requests wants the european countries which provided 800 of the current detainees to accept them and then if...

    Yes at a certain level they are advice.good impartial well argued advice. Then this advice is given to the individual countries which usually decide to implement them as part of their law. So how many times has the UK declined this impartial advice?. Well according to your letter writing MP...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Replying to OJs comments, yes it is a lot of documentation, large amounts which have zero relevance to UK or indeed any one specific country. But that is why you are supposed to have a civil service. I picked up a significant difference between European or statute law and the older common law...

    Electric cars, motorbikes and boats

    As I said on the other thread the battery shape is very much a vhs betamax dilemma. Other than the prices are much higher it is no different than Kosangas Butane Cylinders,or the practice of bringing the wet battery to the bicycle shop in 1930s for the radio. However if those...

    Police say electric bikes illegal in Northern Ireland

    Corsur,you are missing the point,all that you say is factual, but missing the point. I see TedG as the type of person who respects the law and at this stage in life does not want the bother. Keeping a clean slate is important to some people..I know, I am one of them. Whether the offduty PSNI...

    It is nice to see that this MP can at least construct sentences. It is a pity that his competence does not rise to constructing a logical argument. Leaving aside the standard lie (I have gone beyond giving MPs a fools pardon if calling it an untruth ),of the EU being unelected. Let us parse...

    "The people didn't want the EU".. well 52% v 48% of the voting population did form that view. However was it a flawed poll?.

    Don't want to go too far off track with this but your true comment of leaf versus lexus, is exactly the same as VHS v Betamax or phone chargers in the early days. There are two ways to resolve this and EU regulation and ISO standards the best. ..The EU could mandate that all battery packs...

    Good post,but you need to separate between the technology,(electric motors , batteries),which does exist, and which is likely to have only incremental improvements and the implementation or infrastructure , which does not. Even with our current technology, we could have 5 minute Energy fills...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would like a leaf or equivalent, however it just won't work for me. Every so often ,I leave the homely comforts of the Dundalk region and then scoot down to Rosslare or Cork 170+ miles away . Get on a ferry and land in Brittany. There I have another 3 to 5 hour journey 160 to 250 miles ...
