JRM would say Richard (Esq.). .

Thanks for confirming what I posted about the public not bothering to read on the subject. Having just timed myself it took under 20 seconds to read that extract, hardly hardship for such an important subject. .

Halfords still flogging them despite illegallity, now including this one in its 30% off Sale: Link They do show a disclaimer on the legality, but not within the web page. .

Second reply. See this extract from Edward Heath's speech on the subject, which was widely quoted from back then. Please read it for the truth: "Throughout my political career, if I may add one personal remark, it is well known that I have had the vision of a Britain in a united Europe; a...

No it wasn't necessary to read any documents. Just take note of what was said by politicians in speeches quoted on the various news programs at the time. From Churchill speaking strongly in favour of European Unity onwards, the public have never taken any notice of what was being said...

This is the grossest distortion of the situation, missing out all the background. As I've posted before more than once, when Ted Heath was taking us into the EEC it was made abundantly clear by him and others that the intention was to work towards European Unity. That the wider public only...

Miniscule compared to the total of our Tax Havens, but of course they are all ethically wrong Personally though I'll miss Jean-Claude Juncker and his mischievous sense of humour. He has wonderful ways of dealing with awkward people. As with Viktor Orban, the hard line prime minister of minor...

It feels like that already. :( .

My answer on this link .

Mainly Greek "sour grapes" about Germany. As the article shows, Germany is well aware of the potential problem and will act in time. Likewise the EU, anything that endangers the euro will be acted upon and the threat of expelling the southern offenders from the eurozone will bring them into...

They were always going to be the winner with that one, it's the weather of course. Their other winner of being cheaper could well fail though, if the pound takes a nosedive. .

BJ, aka Bluffing Joker becoming PM perhaps? .

There's lots of them about. If they continue in use for many years the law might eventually follow. It happened with pedelecs, after 12 years of being illegal with 250 watts the law changed to match that. Perhaps not so easy with these though, since they start from being illegal while...

My reply is on this link .

You really do lack a sense of humour Zlatan. That was a brilliant post by Robdon, putting the whole Brexit subject into perspective while everyone else was getting so het up about it. Robdon's posts show very clearly that he views Brexit as a big mistake and that he has little time for the...

I never squirm. You know full well what Gray meant , like others implying Robdon never posts on the subject. That's because like others, including you, he didn't realise or remember that there were three threads on the subject running simultaneously back then with those interested posting in...

He has given some brief views for others to comment on, just not repeated them ad nauseum. Here's the link to his nine posts on the subject in the three threads. .

Yes it's funny, my comment on the thread superiority was humorous to tease Zlatan, who has no sense of humour. As you well know, I've posted very disparagingly about this thread, including saying there may be a place in hell waiting for me for starting it. And that my only purpose was to...

Hair splitting. Robdon has posted many times on this subject, most of them in this thread. Gray and others like to imply he never posts on this subject, but they are clearly very wrong as I've pointed out many times. Robdon is probably the smartest of all, not wasting time repeating his views...

A criminal state and international pariah? Change your mistyped scan to scam and you'll be more correct. .
