    Brexit, for once some facts.

    from 2021, NI remains in the EU CU and SM with some exceptions. There will be a panel formed by EU's and UK's officials to supervise VAT and duty on goods coming into NI from the UK. Some goods are deemed to be consumed only in NI, not going South, will be let through without EU's duty levy...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the WA treaty won't be ready until December, it's being redrafted at the moment then translated into 26 other languages. Don't expect it to be ratified before Christmas. I reckon it will be just as thick as before. Parliament won't vote on the WA tomorrow. What MPs will be asked to do is to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the ERG is doing the hard sell for Bojo's deal this morning on TV claiming that Bojo 'performed a micracle'. Expect to see St Boris coming home on his zip wire to lead them to victory tomorrow. In fact, as one journalist pointed out, it's choosing between meat and fish on the EU menu. Bojo...

    Electric bikes on The Apprentice next Wednesday

    the pair of presenters on that clip explained that the cliff was covered in ice in the past, allowing the walruses to get to the sea to eat and climb back up again. Warming caused the loss of ice, exposes the jagged rocks injuring the walruses when they land on them. their explanation is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    a lot of details will have to be worked out in the transition period, not just VAT and import duty. A lot of paperwork will be needed to justify to both UK and EU authorities. I don't think this deal is as good for NI as TM' deal. Keeping UK close to the EU is the best way to preserve the...

    those aren't the problem because they dry up very quickly. The problem is usually at the junctions nearer to the ground where humidity dwells for long time. Typically: where the cable exits the pedal sensor, junction between the speed sensor and the controller, junction between the e-bus cable...

    Your Camino is particularly well protected against water and humidity. All the junctions are inside the downtube, plenty of air around them. I tried that and it does not work. The problem is humidity rather than liquid water. The Julet connectors have a single O ring seal, they are good against...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    SNP will vote No, Bojo will have about 300 MPs assuming he has half of the whipless tory MPs with him, well short of 325 to be sure. That's why he needs 30 Labour MPs voting for his deal. They could name their price, if it's just money then it will be easy but I suspect they would want a second...

    rebel alliance takes control this Saturday. Time to reintroduce new amendment for second referendum?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Deal: 30 No deal: 20 It's a foregone conclusion. that's difficult to say. The 20% who wanted no deal already thought that Bojo 's deal is rubbish anyway, 8 or more out of 20 would rather remain and fight another day. If that happens, the result would be to remain.

    yes, that's what he said then. We all know by now that he has always been easy with the truth.

    Bojo needs it to get 30 Labour brexiter MPs to vote for it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    cancel that brexit party. We are not leaving this month. Earliest possible leaving date is 31st December but I don't even think it's likely. More likely is a second referendum then general election then brexit into transition. By then end of the transition, people may be thoroughly fed up...

    it's not difficult to get the right quality, a little diplomacy goes a long way. The biggest problem is translation: you have to send lots of pictures with arrows to make sure that the other party does not misunderstand.

    apparently, the implementation period extends to end of 2020 then may be extended for 2 more years if the UK asks for it. I bet if we leave on Bojo's deal, we'll be still implementing it in 2023.

    I reckon he'll have to accept a second referendum.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I assume that Bojo can't get enough MPs on his own, he will need at least 30 Labour MPs and their price will be a second referendum whereby the weakest choice will be eliminated first leaving just the top two choices. A majority of those who support WTO may want to support Bojo's deal in the...

    you may not have noticed the quality control at Bafang's factories. It's just as good as European. If you look at statistical failures reported by members, Bafang motors are just as reliable. Where the quality may be lower is in the connectors. Bosch for example design their own connectors and...

    yes, almost all the parts are made there. Motors are from Bafang, controllers from Lishui, cableset from Julet, LCD from King Meter (part of Bafang empire), brakes from Tektro, forks from Suntour, pedals from Wellgo, saddles from Selle Royale, seat post from Axa, handlebars from Zoom, tyres and...

    ITN ComRes poll for Channel 5 brexit debate last night: remain: 42 leave with a deal: 30 no deal: 20% don't know: 8 If a second referendum is called, then no deal wouldn't make it to the final. My guess is Bojo's deal would win.
