Where electric scooter use is concerned, the proverbial will hit the fan now. A 30 year old woman riding one in Battersea has been killed in a collision with a truck. This has prompted the DfT to again warn that they are illegal for use in any public place. Hopefully retail outlets like...

Following the shortage of continental crop pickers coming in now, following the Brexit vote, the Home Office has introduces SAWS, Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme. They've appointed two private companies to recruit workers and I understand that much of the recruiting will be from the...

Your opinions and mine on some major issues have very much in common, so little shaping possible or necessary. But belonging in any job or institution has never appealed, so I've kept those to a minimum. A total of barely 46 years of education and employment was more then enough for me and I...

Strange that my wealth of ideas enabled me to retire in financial comfort at a little over your present age. .

Perhaps out enjoying the sunshine as I was, too nice a day here to waste.

No I don't think so. The West Bank Palestinian government in Ramallah is at odds with Hamas and has been in all it's previous incarnations from the Palestinian Authority onwards. Their objective has long been to pursue the two state solution by agreement and they see Hamas as obstructing that...

The vast majority of resident Palestinians are in The West Bank where they suffer greatly from Israeli oppression and theft of land while having nothing more than protest and stones to defend themselves. The small Gaza Strip governed by Hamas is a different issue and of course the Israelis...

One I share. It's an entirely valid view which many of us share, and JC should continue to face down the Jewish lobby on this storm in a teacup issue. I doubt many Labour voters give a damn whether JC or the party support Palestine or not, there are domestic issues which concern them far more. .

Thanks for the information Alibah. It will definitely need insurance as you suspected, particularly as there is a commercial aspect to the usage. For insurance I'd advise you seek a Lloyds Insurance Broker to quote for you. If you enter Lloyds Insurance Brokers into Google you'll get a...

Amendment: A few people. This is the problem. On the clear evidence that a very few paid up Labour party members are anti-semitic, the whole party has been unfairly tarred with the same brush. I'm sure 99% of the people who vote Labour have never even considered semitism or Jews when making...

I watched this and nearly died of boredom. Almost an hour of people saying Labour was anti-semitic without saying why. Condensing it down to 8 minutes with most of even that not evidence speaks volumes. Further evidence of how the whole issue has been grossly inflated out of all proportion. .

I know James, it's his pastime. Silly thing is we have the same opinion regarding the Israeli treatment of Palestinians, but he just doesn't like me saying it. .

Nonsense, no we are not free to do that. In this forum I was accused of being anti-semitic for refusing to rule out freedom to criticise the behaviour of Israel. The International definition of anti-semitism includes criticism of Israel, and it was Labour's entirely justifiable refusal to...

But it's a popular failure. Bit like Boris Johnson perhaps? ;) .

Is it going to be used for cab work Alibah, or just for private travel with no charge to passenger friends? .

Is it this one? If so its 1000 watt motor means it will have to be insured as an L1e-A motor vehicle, a pity. If it had a 250 watt rating it wouldn't need to be insured or registered. I'm sorry i don't have a recommendation for an insurer, hopefully someone else will have. .

He's a repeat offender, including assaults and showing contempt for the law. He claimed that he'll be killed by Muslim inmates if he's sent to prison, but I'm betting he'll walk from there after serving half his sentence being meekly well behaved. .

Of course, it's not exactly a secret that Donald Trump is all the things Kim Darroch said. And much, much more. .

You won't, just diarrhoea. .

I'm speaking politically of course, and US politics is not short of thugs. Nor are the Southern States. But like you, most of the Americans I've known have been as civilised as most are in this country. Some are my relatives, including my sister now eighty years old, having lived there since...
