    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there is no way we can have JIT supply chain without the single market and customs union. It's the lack of certainty that your shipments won't get delayed for days waiting for inspection. For Bojo, brexit is just a stepping stone to the top job. Now he's got it, the initial attraction could...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BJ did win the right to try his luck at WTO brexit. I think he'll give up before the end of the year. I don't think he'll get anywhere with new trade deals. Not with any of the G8 or top 15 countries for that matter. He'll try for WTO clause 24 instead.

    they (Iraqis) have signed a ceasefire treaty when Saddam's regime failed. The treaty requires Iraqi government to indemnify the USA all their costs in the 'liberation' an accupation of Iraq. That's why they pump oil. The money pays for US bombs before food. US soldiers are not going to leave...

    he did say that the US would go if Iraq repays all the 'investment costs' - apparently they have a very big air base there.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they are causing more troubles for the world than they solve. Just like organised religions. This is because democracy systems in the West are driven legally by money. The corrupting effect of political donations and lobbying is so ingrained that nobody bothers to check its consequences. All...

    there was anther theory why the Americans started a war in Vietnam: oil deposits around the Paracel Islands, just off the shores of South Vietnam. Some deposits were eventually exploited after the war ended, not enough for Vietnam to export oil but still substantial contribution to their...

    Help! Newbie needs advice on bike choice please

    rural roads are OK for the 28-622 tyres, so is your height for the Faro frame. The main issue is potholes, if you have lots of potholes, you will need a front suspension fork. The Camino and Rio MTB cope very well well with potholes.

    as a country, the USA does not need importing oil or gaz but economically, they still derive income from their oil companies operating in the Middle East, Libya, Venezuela, Nigeria etc Where American oil companies go, US troops go.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if the US pull their troops, American companies won't be able to pump Iraqi oil. Iraqis are interviewed by the BBC, they are fed up with the Americans who prop up a corrupt regime. Their country pumps record level of oil and yet, their government can't keep electricity or water running. If they...

    I don't think many of us would worry about his welfare. It's about consequences of Trump's action and what he may do if the Iranians and others hit back. The immediate result is an increase in petrol price plus heightened risk of more terrorism. The longer term is the erosion of rule based...

    A little extra help for an aging commuter...

    most controllers do not need to know the wheel diameter nor RPM. The speed limiter is set in the LCD and relies on a speedometer which is either located inside the motor's cover or mounted to the chainstays. when a manufacturer wants to lock the speed limiter, he blocks the wheel diameter...

    Bagdad airport is not in a war zone, Iran is no more at war with the US at the moment than Russia. Trump always picks on a tiny military power, something to do with his small hands.
