    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So it should be, shouted from the rooftops across the whole country. We don't know about this one, but there have been far too many incidences of innocent people being shot dead by the police. There's been a number in London, including a man carrying a table leg for entirely legitimate...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is, just look at all those majority Blairite MPs that were in their opposition. Corbyn and McDonnell made no attempt to expel them from the party. The problem was always those Blairite MPs refusing to discuss and compromise, instead maintaining an internal opposition. I'm perfectly...

    BBC licence fees. Instead of scrapping it it's now been reduced to merely switching the same fines for not having a licence from being a criminal offence to being a civil one. In other words no difference for the viewer and listener, it still has to be paid. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But the chumps have voted in Johnson, and what you've posted is true of him too. Labour intolerantly expelled Campbell, but Johnson expelled 25 MPs from the party for doing similar. You rant about the one expulsion but make no mention of the 25, showing once again the inherent unfairness of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Tories need to split too, into right wing and centre parties. But both these proposals are of course are idealism, unlikely to ever happen. And if they did split, they'd only ever be effective with proportional representation. .

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    You shouldn't even mention 50cycles as that has advertising value. Perhaps encode it as half century repetitions. .

    In addition to Oyster's reply, they set prices at what each market can and will pay. They don't care if we pay or not, as far as they are concerned we can choose for patients to suffer or die instead. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think you missed my point that Corbyn in our first past the post system would never get time to evolve his socialism. Very little can be achieved in five years. Blair didn't have a third way that worked without ever growing huge debt. He only lasted long enough for his stooge Gordon Brown...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But evolution doesn't come into it here. We've worked best politically when we've alternated the parties to some extent balancing the two extremes. Blair messed that up with his Tory light position and policies, setting us on the path to the heavy right wing bias we have now. That's why...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But while true that is exaggeration, you've made the point yourself how small that shift to the Tories is. Your blue collar workers have often been tories ever since they became effectively middle class. There's no such thing as pipedreamers socialism, there's either socialism or there's not. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But all beside the point I made, the falsity of the Tory claims about Corbyn's program and it's costs. It was no more extreme than many in mainland Europe. Any hint of true socialism and the Tories set out to crucify. It's a parallel of Macarthyism in the USA when any hint of left was...

    Hub or Mid Drive? Any views?

    Not always though. On the original Panasonic crank drive Giant Lafree, power dropped progressively above a cadence of 40 due to it having power phase down from 9.4 mph and halving by 12 mph! But I think more important is how much effort someone can put into a torque sensor at given cadence...

    Historic nonsense from long ago, you do know Dickens is dead I hope? Like so many "up north", you suffer from the delusion that London has always been the City of London, full of suit wearing office workers. Here's the truth for your education: Only a very small part of London, namely the...
