    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think something odd is happening with your posts, you'd already posted exactly this at 12.48, about 1.5 hours ago. And I'd answered on this link .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Like Zlatan. I agree with much of this post. I also agree with your feelings on this subject and consider the killing a big mistake. But in my posts here I'm only concerned with the legality in international law. On the basis of all that has previously been practiced and approved, it was...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And we'd certainly have been on the receiving end. Alex Salmond in particular for opposing Trump's Scottish golf course and refusing to stop wind turbines being built alongside, spoiling the view! .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As I've clearly explained, Iran had effectively declared war on the USA, many times in fact. The USA President could and did act in its defence without Congress acknowledging that status existed. I don't agree with the action either, but it was legal defence. And as I've shown there was no...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I disagree on several grounds. Firstly the General had with his country's approval created a legitimate state of war between Iran and the USA, entitling the USA to defend itself by action against any Iranian military target. Secondly the Iranian general was operating with support from Iraqi...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not so, in a state of war against a country, in this case Iran, action can legally be against the military of that country in any other country where they are operating. That is especially true when the target is operating with support from within the third party country, as in this case. Just...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Regardless of whether the action was wise, I differ on this. Qassem Soleimani was not a politician, he was an Iranian General operating as a soldier with Iranian official approval in procuring the killing of numerous Americans, many of them also soldiers. That is legally a state of war, so...

    PCBs? I go right back to valves and hard wired connections! Including when electronic manufacturing for military contracts had to have all the wired joints made mechanically secure by twisting together before soldering. .

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    Barristers get well paid for it. ;) .

    Or make it. Anyone supplying major firefighting equipment in Australia is probably doing quite well at present. And the sudden imposition of the London Congestion Charge did wonders for the bicycle trade here. .

    No problem. Look at what I've done to two batteries on this link .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    His previous record does show him to be quite inept, in particular his airline venture showed him to be very foolish. But I'm not concerned about Cummings, his approach to our problems will fail anyway. What concerns me more is Boris Johnsons appalling record with the appointments he's made...

    I did indeed, but the traditional understanding is much more fun! .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    More than a little premature, Brexit could well prove catastrophic fo all of us. That's if we do leave of course, if we strike a deal anything like the two versions seen so far, it's leaving in name only and ending up in something like EFTA, membership with no say. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's pity your feelings make you post this way, missing the obvious. I've just posted on this link the ways in which we've failed and continue to fail. Just bleating make Britain Great again, getting back sovereignty and telling those revealing the failures not to talk down won't correct...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In my own case feelings haven't come into it, nor even very much of a logical process. As I've made clear in many posts I'm only concerned with facts, and indeed my post that started this thread 3460 posts ago was only about facts, hence the thread title. I've posted the undeniable facts...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nothing to do with the EU, entirely the UK's fault where such literacy problems exist. The education standards in the major EU countries are far higher, as I personally know and the league tables clearly show. Leaving the EU is much more likely to allow us to sink to the even lower standards...

    If I gave these tyres do o need slime?

    In my area punctures were very frequent, but with three and a half years on those Kenda tyres I suffered no punctures which was great improvement on some other tyres I'd used. I later swapped out the Kendas for Marathon Plus which I rode on for many years with just one slow puncture. So for me...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, I didn't get the wrong end of any stick. I fully understood what you posted, but that was apparently not what you meant. Once again your inability to use English correctly let you down, failing to express what you meant. It's a problem in this thread that a few of us have suffered in...
