My understanding is that the lithium type non rechargeable are optimised for very long life not high power and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am assuming that these are collegiate arrangements basically between members of the same team ie the EU team. Post Brexit the game is supposed to change. Mind you we in Ireland have a sweetheart deal with US immigration, where we basically give them a gateway and a space on our airports ...

    Why would British customs be examining trucks going from Dover to Calais?.. it's called exports. Would British customs not be examining trucks coming from Calais to Dover? So your Minister was precisely correct.

    If the UK wanted to make a case at the international war crimes tribunal ..they would need more evidence certainly. But that is not where this is going. The US USSR Cuban crisis of 1962 was based on a few photographs which could have been faked.....
