Wonder how much it will cost?

Trump appears to blame Sadiq Khan for terrorism in London. Number dead this year? I think it is zero. Would you blame Trump for the school shootings in the USA? Numbers dead, this year: Stoneman Douglas High School shooting Feb 14 2018 - 17 dead Santa Fe High School shooting May 18...

It would be unprecedented for the Queen to withdraw her invitation. To not open the door when he arrives. To kick him down the stairs. Trump likes disruption. (Perhaps the diplomatic version, were that required, for Lizzie to be too ill to attend?)

I like that thought. Thing is, it is probably hard to find anyone else in the world whose vanity and self-obsession is as pandered to by that red carpet treatment. Quite possibly Barnier would prefer a much less ostentatious welcome - but one that was genuine. (I have no knowledge of Barnier's...

I wonder how many of the brexit contingent will complain as much about Trump's interference as they did about Obama's statements?

It sure as hell won't be coffee we wake up and smell. Far more likely cadaverine and other products of putrescence.

If you can see that, don't you think that many others can also see it and, perhaps, be in a better position to exploit it? In the realm of motor vehicles, the need to lock down system is becoming more and more obvious. It seems highly unlikely that any systems won't eventually be protected...

But buying parts and assembling them for the UK only is hardly the fantastic opportunity claimed for brexit.

Carrera Crosscity Electric Bike https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/electric-bikes/carrera-crosscity-electric-bike Happened to pop into Halfords this evening and saw the above ebike. Hardly going to set the world alight. But the thing that got me was the incredibly small distance between...

In the wonderful post-Brexit world, we will have the rest of the world queuing up to buy our products. We will have trade agreements with half the countries on planet to supply ebikes, and ebike parts. All we have to do is manufacture sufficient product, of sufficient quality, efficiently, and...

If WTO is easier, doesn't that mean there is likely to be more competition as others pile in?

Under WTO, how would UK exports to EU be treated? More generously than the tariff being applied to Chinese imports, I assume. Let us say that you came up with a good, competitive design for a motor - a key component. You want to sell it to, among others, the big German companies like Cube...

Whitehall’s ‘potty’ plan to keep NI lights on if no Brexit deal Flotilla of barges with energy generators would be sent to Northern Ireland if UK crashes out of the EU https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/11/whitehalls-potty-plan-to-keep-ni-lights-on-if-no-brexit-deal Is the word...

Doesn't that provide an incentive to anyone in the UK who makes ebikes? They are in a much stronger position to compete against Chinese ebikes.

How do we get from 36% wanting to leave to a WillOfThePeople claim? I suspect that the number questioning the wisdom (ha! what wisdom?) of leaving could very well have risen substantially as we have gone through more and more protracted, nasty, ineffectual discussions about how to leave.

Can you work an example of that?

One of the better changes to building design and practice has been the isolation of terraced housing one from another. No longer the awful lofts running the length of the terrace, or joists sticking through one house to another. Nor single skins. Mind, in our last house, there was a clear hole...
