It's been his whole life plan. .

It's why our fishermen are so unhappy, the Royal Navy's fishery protection vessels take their duties far too seriously, often wrecking a whole days fishing with a boarding and search. It seems they treat this as a regular duty rather than the exception when there are justified suspicions. .

Not since 1993 when that law was repealed. The last birching took place in 1976 and caused such a huge storm of protest they didn't dare do it again. .

They disregard all laws and regulations they don't like. It's fundamental to being Italian, probably in the DNA. It's always worked for me with my half Italian heritage, as far as I'm concerned it's all optional. .

Since when does anything about the UK Brexit make sense? .

No, it has no noticeable effect since the amount the handlebars turn during riding is tiny, much of the turn achieved by the lean into corners. So barely pulling the spring which is set to near zero tension when the wheel is straight ahead These dampers are very popular in the Continent...

Brexit is more like Hugo Chavez's Venezuela, supposed benefits for the people driving the country towards bankruptcy. .

That's his diplomatic skills, making himself appeal a little more to the Leavers. They won't be fooled though, they know his strong belief in the EU. .

Ken is firmly a pro EU Remainer and has always been. .

Ken Clarke is a very safe bet, always very rational and considered in his statements and actions. .

We'll get there one day, but it won't be in my lifetime or perhaps any of ours. .

Azerbaijan ! Seriously we are nowhere near a comparison with any one of those three extremely different countries, and I see no prospect of being so within a useful timescale. .

Very smart e-bikes and good to see sensibly equipped utility versions. .

We'll be absorbed anyway, either that or end up impoverished and heading for third world standards. Just look at the ex Soviet bloc European countries. Those that headed in towards the EU are doing well, those that ended isolated like Abkhazia are so impoverished their citizens wish the USSR...

Even failure has to be achieved. ;) .

No, because illnesses cannot be cured by conversion, except in the minds of some religiously inclined. .
