    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Donald Trump is desperate for a deal before his presidential campaign. The Iranians know that. They don't need nuclear weapons, just the ability to assemble some quickly if needed. So they use their nuclear program as a bargaining chip to keep the USA out of their country.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it was a typo, 'your' later corrected to 'their', you could easily see by the context yourself, no need to read it again.

    Electric Bike number two - requirements

    the Gepida is obsolete though, 26V motor, very small capacity battery. The Whyte Conniston is a very nice bike but the step through is about 8" higher than the old Gepida, that will make it virtually impossible for many to use the step through. Raleigh Motuses are good contenders.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    of course it's not OK to shoot down an airliner, nobody said it was. The importance is how quickly the authorities accept responsibility and pay compensation. it was an Iranian airliner that was shot down by USS Vincennes on the 03 July 1988.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    To assume that he'll pick and choose may be justified but if you were in Harry's position, which of the royal duties would you consider as the juicy bit?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    let's take a couple of examples of how our gutter press 'mirror' public opinion: 'they should pay back Frogmore cottage refurbishment cost'. That cottage belongs to the Crown Estate, why should the tenants pay for the upkeep? The same reasoning should apply to for example the cottage in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Meghan is a talented woman with a successful career of her own. She does not need Harry's money and it's not as if Harry will ever be king anytime soon. I can't see why she should stay in the shadow of her husband for the rest of her life. What they have done is something that the royals did...

    Has anyone heard of or tried Argento bikes?

    the Boardman bike I mentioned have good quality air forks and brakes. bike tech has not moved that fast compared to electronics, so yes, a 9 year old bike may have seen only a couple of hundred hours of service which is really nothing, so a 9 year old Boardman FS Comp is better than a new...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Minford's model is based entirely on the UK pulling out of manufacturing and becoming Singapore in Europe. I don't think the EU and the US like this idea a tiny little bit. Competing on tax regime is a non starter.
