    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So what, there are numerous Tory constituencies where any of their chinless wonders would be predicted to win, including my predominantly Tory constituency where their Gavin Barlow had held the seat. But as I've shown, Labour under Corbyn in 2017 blitzed the Tories with a completely new untried...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But a pseudo one blocks us from getting a real one given the majority of the English are small "c" conservative. Moderate is Great Britain's middle name, and that can be a problem. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So you are a Tory, this list you've given proves that beyond any possible doubt. His policies you dislike are Socialist and therefore Labour. It's a lie that he mumbles, in the House he as loudly as anyone asserts his views. What you think is Marxism is in fact Socialism, which you as a Tory...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, it's this comment from you that is irrelevant. The discussion was about electability, NOT candidate quality, and I showed Labour under Corbyn are often very electable. In quality there's no disagreement, we both know that most of the some 650 MPs in the House are useless. All we can hope...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Three reasons: 1) Too many people like you believing the lying propaganda of the Tory party and Tory media. 2) They were coming from too far behind. 3) Brexit confusing the issue with both supporting Leave. But the facts you refuse to look at remain that their gain was huge, in London...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't know why I bother really, but I live in hope that one day you may look at facts rather than soaking up the propaganda of the Tory press and the Tory party itself. However, try these facts: Against all the predictions, under Corbyn's Labour wiped out Theresa May's majority in the 2017...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Don't be so sure. Exactly the same was said when Theresa May called a GE with a majority in the house, but instead Corbyn wiped out her majority, leaving the DUP as the only way for her to hang on in power. Labour has much more ammunition than most realise and with Momentum using it the result...

    Looking for a bit of advice

    Chinese e-bikes from the first decade of this millennium were sold by all sorts of outfits under English names they conjured up, cashing in on the growing sales of them. All but a tiny number of those firms no longer exist and I haven't heard of E-Life in many years. It's best to start from...

    Changed Commute - Super Soco?

    Same for me, and I've possessed 32 and am an ex motor mechanic who's driven a huge variety of vehicles. I just love driving it and have over quadrupled the one year mileage of my previous car. Can't see me ever driving an i.c car again. .

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    That's only in respect of the permission to be on the road which has to be specific for each class of any powered vehicles. Our specific permission also specifies that a legal pedelec is classed as a bicycle in road usage law. So the motor vehicle law regarding failure to stop might not apply...

    It's bloody new and broken!

    Yes, the link below in the first line will direct them to the first post in your thread: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/its-bloody-new-and-broken.35929/post-525370 You need to pursue an immediate repair by part replacement, since it's probable either your battery or charger are faulty. .

    It's bloody new and broken!

    But apart from any checks, please get in touch without delay with the dealer you bought it from or Oxygen, since you say you bought it new. Clearly a battery should not behave like this. Oxygen are a good company and will look after you. .

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    Under Road Tax up until 1935 and then that class transferred to VED discs, historic as you say. A bit like the now incorrect usage of Moped, which originally referred to autocycles which had a petrol engine and pedals, i.e. motor and pedals. Also back in the 1920s we had cyclecars which were...

    Why shouldn't they make their contribution to the input of ignorance? Surely they are more qualified due to lack of experience. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Horrific indeed, but not Bulgarians. As EU citizens they can walk freely into the UK and wouldn't risk a trip in a sealed container. The probability is they were part of the current Syrian/Afghani/African migration and paid for their fateful container trip on a Bulgarian registered truck. .

    Are handlebar gear changers back to front

    But it's not always about cadence. For example there's the hub gear type advantage of changing to a very much lower gear in advance with a single action when approaching a stop point, for me important with so much cycling done in urban areas with lots of stops. I sometimes even like to jump...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't allow them that concession, such a result for a decision of that importance was obviously far too close and I was appalled that it was accepted. How could the politicians have not known the implications when they were aware that our comprehensive failure before membership had led us...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's all of them and Danidl is absolutely right. If you'd closely followed the trends of public opinion in the province you'd know that to be true. The DUP are out of kilter in their own domain. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Having lived through it long enough and watched at first hand the severe decline since WW2, I've been posting as much in this thread since before the referendum. Consistently I've said on the clear evidence that we are nowhere good enough to be able to leave the EU, since that body, despite its...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, the real problem was a referendum without a sensible pass proportion like two thirds. Then having made that mistake, not having the courage to immediately say the result was far too close to be acted upon for such a momentous long term decision. Either would not have resulted in a bitterly...
