    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the figure for UK export of services to EU is nearer to £50 billions a year. Still a lot of money. Not all of it will be lost though as sales can still go through EU local branches.

    the US want us to reduce the role of NICE so that their pharma reps can induce our doctors to prescribe their drugs. That's the reason why they are not interested in buying our NHS.

    Hi. First ebike conversion.

    the 48V TSDZ2 has a wider range of torque, so when you climb a typical 10% hill for example, you can maintain easily 30% more speed than you would with a 36V TSDZ2, the higher speed preserves the motor yield, less battery is wasted in heat.

    best thing that can happen to Labour is to split it into Momentum and New Labour. Momentum will be like the Green, lots of members and 1 seat. New Labour will beat the tories for the middle ground.

    Brexit, for once some facts.
