    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Trust is a very precious commodity. All Western European establishments carrying out experiments on animals have protocols in place and have ethics committees. By wanton I mean reckless disregard not necessarily avoidance.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sufficient time has elapsed since the referendum for writs to have been served, so unless Nissan has done so, and or the electoral commission has reported back, both these " stories " from these two images would be " fake news" There are sufficient real evidence, attributed to real people ...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Animal based medical testing from genetic experiments on fruitflies, to lab mice and rats and even higher level chimps etc is an integral part of science. The British seem to have an exaggerated regard for animals, possibly as a result of being an urban society. If you don't know where your...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Remainers of course don't want to pay it...They want to stay in and in which case they would pay nothing. What Leavers want is impossible to know, since there is a full range of wants and desires.

    Nice video, .. but I believe pointless. I do not believe that the UK has the right to withdraw from its letter of intent. In my opinion, as stated before a few times, they .or you have lost control of the process of withdrawal.The utterances of the UK Supreme Court are relevent to the conduct of...

    Apparently Ireland was in the running for both this and the medical research board. My prejudice would have been for the medical board, but our government has decided to waive that one , and concentrate on the banking!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The distinction in respect of property ownership is that EU citizens have rights, subject to the specific laws of the country, exactly similar to any native of that country and vindicated by the ECJ. Chinese Australian , Asian, and Americans do not. They need visas at any time at the whim of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why are you even assuming that the EU negotiators are bullying or even appealing to the UK electorate? They did not do so before the referendum.. a conscious decision based on recognising the UKs right to self determination, so why would they do so now.? It is for British politicians to engage...

    Thanks I understand now. And yes that would be just as feasible on a Bosch and presumably other centre drive motors as on a none assisted bike.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If ,and it does, the UK pays more into the EU budget at present than it takes out as benefits, then it's because it has been more successful than other , in some cases more recent entrants. Not because it's the cost of doing business or a tariff . I could say that this allows you a place at the...

    I beg to differ about the importance of money in this discussion. It is a transient effect, the steady state is the relationship..

    I have been reflecting on Peters request for an outsider's view of the Brexit process, and I have this to add. Europe , indeed the world knows that the UK currently has the best deal and won't get a better one outside theEU . It remains perplexed that the British political establishment is...

    Of course it wasn't a lie... Which by definition is an untruth intended to deceive. No one in the audience was deceived, . They I understand, took it as a joke.

    New Bosch drive Halfords Carrera bikes

    The Bosch active line does detect when the chain is changing gear on a derrailler and reduces power at that instant. The effect is no clunking and presumably less wear. I assume it is monitoring the strain on the chain, and this drops when the chain is between gears. The brake handles do not...

    .. in the olden days, we looked forward to visitors coming from the North or England if they came with orange and mint flavoured Aero bars or Spangles.. tubes of boiled sweets in a range of flavours unavailable in the south.. so if you can arrange the Spangles, we could have a deal...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If the UK were happy with option 3. With jurisdiction by the ECJ, maintaining EU environmental standards, and allow limited free movement of people , why they can even piggyback on EU free trade arrangements with the 42 other countries, we could live with that and they could probably keep their...
