    Brexit, for once some facts.

    smaller countries want naturally money to be spent on them. With more qualified voting, the balance of benefit/cost gets better for the smaller member countries, such as the ROI. The point is half of the UK voters (mainly conservative voters) do not like redistribution, no matter how much it is...

    New to electric bikes

    You should also consider adding a rear hub drive bike for commuting. They don't give the same feel as crank driven, torque sensored bikes in your list but they are much more suitable to do the miles when you are tired after a long day at work. You can pedal as much or as little as you like with...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    2025, there won't be enough time to change the setup in 2021, It's about how the EU sees its border. In the case of Norway, it's just customs border, Norway is already in the Single Market. Bojo's proposal simply creates a Norway type border 5 miles in from the real border. Plus, doing the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    because the conservatives accept that the blow to the economy would be much reduced with an implementation period, they'll get brexit done if they have a deal. Their real prize is to leave the customs union to avoid or reduce import duty on goods (Dyson), food (British Sugars) and drinks...

    that's after 2025. Until then, NI stays in the SM. If there is a deal, there will be customs check from 2012.

    Sneaky or illegal? Battery shipping

    it is down to the T&Cs of the courier. The post office for example won't take equipment with battery and will ask you the question: does it contain a battery? some couriers like DPD also don't take equipment with battery (unless you have a contract) but don't ask that question. UPS will take...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Bojo proposes that Northern Ireland should stay in the European single market for goods, but leave the customs union - resulting in new customs checks. The Northern Ireland Assembly would get to approve the arrangements first and vote every four years on keeping them. I think that's positive.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I believe that a referendum is only justified if it does not ask exactly the same question, therefore it should only take place after parliament approves a deal. Until then, it's parliament's job to deliver a deal. It will then be a simple question, that deal or no deal or remain. Unfortunately...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there may be some truth in that. Bojo wants to push for no deal because there simply isn't a good deal available. it is the only way for the conservatives to leave because no deal brexit nullifies their promises to brexit voters.

    'presumed innocent until proven guilty' and all that. Although with Bojo, the presumption is he starts with a lie then you try to fathom out which bit is new and which is old.

    one of the reply messages reads: Voting for Brexit was like voting for better weather. It seemed like a good idea on the face of it, ignores collateral consequences and no one can agree what "better" weather actually is.

    Does Bojo suggest installing border posts just for show? BBC: Boris Johnson: Checks on Irish border will be 'reality' after Brexit. DT: Boris Johnson dismisses reports his Brexit deal will impose checks away from Irish Border.

    The only thing that unites the rebels is to stop no deal. VONC wouldn't unite them, Bojo has to be proven breaking law before they have enough to unite on his removal.

    the rebel alliance will wait until the 20-October to see if Bojo obeys the law. If he doesn't, the rebels are confident that they can petition the Queen to sack Bojo.

    leaver elites will tell you that the money spent on the next 5 year membership fees (about 1% of our GDP, about £100 billions), will be spent on building 40 hospitals + £25 billions will be spent on roads and rails. How are you going to argue against that?

    A big hello

    Saddle height and handlebars height have a good range for adjusting. the top tube characterises the reach, on the Big Bear, it's 57cm, a bit longer than the average (55cm). That's why I think it will suit the OP.
