    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly, and it's pointless listening to English Leavers opinions on what the continental counties will do. What they fail to realise about the mainland European countries is they don't all have the same sort of attachment to sovereignty. Some weren't even countries until quite recently. Some...

    No, the UK will be the only one, especially when the others see how much we will still be in the EU and what it's cost us. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I meant twigged in a future sense, after we've continued to integrate even further into the EU over time. I'm convinced the Tories never had any intention of us leaving and will gradually undo what has just happened, if only because that will be essential for survival in the modern world. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think he has enough sense to know that the majority of the country had long since swung to remaining. Accordingly him indulging in a big Leave celebration wouldn't go down too well with over half the country. I can see him trying to stay low key for the rest of the year now on the Brexit...

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    The law changed on 6th April 2015 with the amendments to the 1983 EAPC regulations, bringing in a ban on full acting throttles from 1st January 2016. Suppliers had a permitted period to sell off existing manufactured stock. The purpose of the change was to align with the EU regulations, ironic...

    He knows what he's doing, it's just part of the con to convince the leaver vote that we really are leaving and that he's being tough on that. Of course we aren't leaving, the eventual deal will be soft enough to be akin to remaining in most respects. Basically it will be remaining with some...

    Once you've paid the extra to get each one single vehicle approved. There is no block single vehicle approval. .

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    Yes it is not type approval but Single Vehicle Approval, which the DfT accepts as the equivalent for this purpose, as does the EU. But we do not get rid of this law at the end of the year. Like all preceding accepted EU law, it has been written into UK law by the Great Repeal Bill. Parliament...

    But none of them are going to get it. Brexit as OG has intimated is a huge con by the government. They never wanted to leave the EU and still don't intend to now. As all of them were agreed, the Theresa May deal which Boris Johnson has largely accepted isn't leaving and the EU has agreed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, I've made that clear and shown how doing that is easy. And most European countries have already done that very long ago. Some over half a century ago for example. The North can get on with that right now, there's never been a better time. The PM has said he wants the North to get...

    Which can't be seen, can't be held, can't be smelled, can't even be adequately described. A bit like a ghost. They are part of a continuing borderless Europe, indeed, borderless world as far as they are concerned. That's very Brexit when the fish are smarter than 17 million of our electorate. .

    Why do keep ignoring the answers already given? Quote: "That the buses weren't a viable option after sinking to only 4500 of them didn't deter Ken when he introduced the congestion charge. He just borrowed the money to buy 200 more buses which were waiting to carry the ex car drivers on day...

    True, but our move on Huawei won't have helped us in US trade deal terms. Macron is very pro EU and the EU beating the UK to a US trade deal will make it very much more difficult for us to get a favourable one. Ours will then have to be no more favourable and probably much less so. .

    I'm aware of all that of course but sadly it also shows a closed mind. Firstly as I've just pointed out, we started from no investment, which can be self generating anyway. Secondly 86% of the population live and work in cities or major towns, where London style solutions are possible if...

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    The law has never been behind, so doesn't need to catch up: 1) The low powered moped class, also known as L1e-A, permits a bicycle with up to 1000 watts rating but restricted to 15.5 mph assist speed, so much more useful for any disability. They have to be registered and rear plated, but no...

    Of course, and I've stressed that throughout my posting. But that has to be with state control, subsidising private companies to do it just drains very much more money into often overseas shareholders pockets. .

    Cart before the horse, you have to start somewhere to make it an option. For us it was left winger Ken Livingstone's inspired ideas on public transport that did the trick under the earlier GLC, particularly his Fares Fair policy. He didn't get a penny from Margaret Thatcher's Tory government...
