Obviously, we would pretty much be forced into exactly the same standards even if, legally, we are free to set any standard we want. And we don't get to put our input into the development of any such standards. Control. Who wants it?

My mention of hybrid or electric was really just as an example. Honda might just want to introduce new models for marketing. Or they want to double or half their capacity. Anything that would cause an upheaval and give reason to re-evaluate and re-engineer.

brexit. The Impossible Dream.

When a company has to decide about changes such as new models, it forces a decision. Without the need to make any changes at all, they might just have sat it out and taken decisions in the light of their experiences. As soon as they have to switch to hybrid, introduce new models, etc., they have...

Agreed, but to make the picture a bit more complete, the Herald says: Rees-Mogg's comparison with Glasgow at the time is misleading at best. The concentration camp figure of deaths spans a year, totalling more than 48,000 who perished, Boer and black, from a prisoner population of less than...

Of course it is up to them whether they welcome her back. It is up to you, me, and every other individual how much welcome we extend to her. That she might want to be here, have a legal right to be here, and so on, does not force anyone to be pleased. We still have the right to have an...

Have just been reading a letter from a motor insurance company. Due to brexit, the company is relocating their HO to Luxembourg, and then opening a branch in the UK. Broadly, no change to cover, etc. but for at least some of the time, the insurance will be with the EU HO company not the UK...

When there is disagreement it shows that the EU is weak and failing. When there is agreement it shows that the EU is some monstrous cabal.

Just why does Westminster govern the UK? Why does the Welsh Assembly or even Haverfordwest council not have total control? So much of the world is effectively now governed by the super-rich and mega-corporations that splitting ourselves down into smaller and more separate organisations...

Ironic this should appear just after the Hermes/GMB agreement.

I used to start out on journeys at silly times, like 03:00, right the way through the winter. In cold weather, heated seats made the first miles very much more pleasant than they would otherwise have been. In the past three years, we would almost never have used them even if we had them...
