Tommie, I don't really know where to start.. 1. No they... Brussels did not order Ireland to have a second referendum. It might have been better if they had, then they would have been in practice for the Brexit one... 2. Faceless bureaucrates . I don't think so, if they were how could they...

The Dail was never a regional assembly. Neither was the Irish parliament that existed up to 1800. In the 100 years between 1800 and 1905, the decay that Dublin suffered was such that the Irish people agreed that never would they agree to letting a foreign government determine our destiny. ...

There are two ways such a reunification could happen, what happens if we down south reject you lot joining us? More seriously it would be wrong on so many levels having a border at Liverpool, and cairnryan that the UK as a whole, remaining within the single market becomes more and more attractive!

Fair point, trust is everything in these matters, but there are spivs and cheats everywhere, on both sides of the border. Trust is wonderful, and the best way of ensuring it is by constant vigilance, . There is another problem, were the UK to agree to a USA based agricultural deal, which it will...

The concept of the charger being only rated for 11amphr packs is false. Your charger could charge any size of battery pack. The only limitation is that it will take shorter (small capacity packs)border longer ( larger capacity). A 2 amp charger will take 5.5 hrs to charge an 11 amphr pack and 9...

.. the gulf stream affects Scotland but not really the Baltic..

My advice, for what it's worth is not to bother.. But in specific terms the lamps on ebikes and others are typically 5 watts. And at 6 v that's an 1 amp. Most white lights LEDs require about 4 v accross them for operation, so there is already a power loss at 6 v.. Were you to buy build a DC DC...

Tommie, both you and I and a growing number of unionists , particularly in the agricultural business field in N I agree that a hard border on the island of Ireland is a bad thing. Likewise the majority of unionists would likewise see a customs border between the mainland of the UK and Ireland...

.. if high value people choose to move abroad, then strip them of citizenship. Citizenship of a liberal Western democracy is very highly valued. It is easy for us who have it to ignore its value. What is needed is a rethink of the rule of domicile. That a person can reside in a country for 182...

What about a happy medium... Omni Res in moderatio. I never replied to one of your messages where you indicated that the wealthy are now being taxed more than they were in the 1970s... There is a very simple reason. The ratio between the top earners and the median income has ballooned over the...

As mass transit no .. but as vanity projects to bring fun loving billionaires from their hotel to the golf course in Dubai! .. maybe.

Swarf, a grain of sand or just a washer off centre could cause the problem.. you could have tightened everything fine but just one of these things would provide a latent fault. Different event same probable cause. In my college some years ago we built a suite of computer labs and everything was...

It was recognition of an honest position... Not one I have sympathy for or agree with, but when "hardy comes to hardy " probably one shared by a significant fraction of the Brexit supporters.

Get the bigger battery. Battery life is dependent on the number of charge discharge cycles. The matrix inside the cells of the battery physically changes shape from charge to discharge and this is the wear mechanism. If you recharge the bigger battery daily, the range of the discharge is less...

That is probably the most coherent arguement presented for Brexit. No economics, no rationales just a plain gut feeling. Not amenable to rational arguement. I said as much to Woosh some thousands of posts ago...

Agreed.. technology, particularly the large factory ships , and in Ireland's case, the generous quotas to Spain. But there was also some silly loopholes in the fishing regulations, wherein small fish caught and killed in the nets could be dumped back at sea, retaining ones quota rather than...

There are two assertions in this email, both can be examined on their merits Assertion 1. Is the deal from the Brexit negotiations likely to be better or worse than the deal currently available as a member.... I would expect the answer is worse. Assertion 2. That tax evasion by a wealthy...

Zathlan, that is a pretty fair description on how the EU operates. There is one attribute however you inadvertently omitted. There is a principle of subsidiarity where if there are local eg national ways of doing things, then they continue, from small things such as square pin plugs in the UK...

I have to agree with you.. it appears incoherent.

That is a death wish. The brakes, the suspension, the wheels of bicycles are not designed for high speed operation. Also the power consumption will be 8 times more at 30 than 15 mph.
