True, but I think that's already a lost cause, unless we get a new referendum. Probably the only remainer hope now is that we return to the EU eventually. .

That was one of his lesser mistakes, cost in only thousands. Most of his mistakes cost multi millions. Boris Johnson was a total disaster in everything he touched as London's Mayor. At least his record ensures London remains determinedly Labour and equally strongly against the Brexit he...

Mainly because what he did in the first term was carry on with Ken Livingstone's Labour projects like the bike hire scheme for example. It was only in the second term that the high costs of the changes he made to those, plus the costs and failures of his own newer projects in the second term...

If what he did in London is anything to go by, he will be a disaster. .

Very true, cynicism is an essential tool in receiving news. Back in the days of South African apartheid I demonstrated this on a few occasions, getting people to turn off the television sound when viewing film from there so they couldn't hear the anti-apartheid propaganda of the commentary...

That was the component when I mentioned incompetence. We've never really tried to prevent anyone sneaking in, passing the control buck to France, having wholly inadequate checking here, running down our coastal protections which have always been inadequate anyway, turning a blind eye to the...

There's never been anything stopping us controlling our borders. It's solely our incompetence that's been letting so many in. The same incompetence that will make Brexit a failure. .

No, e-mopeds will replace i.c. mopeds as batteries improve. That's the way legislators think on pollution as the compulsion to go from two stroke mopeds to four stroke mopeds shows, just improving what's there. I don't see Pedelec law changing now it's virtually a worldwide standard. There's...

An apology due from me Danidl. Once again I posted mainland European politicians when I should be including Ireland. The hurt there with Brexit is very real. .

Yes, David Cameron regularly rode a Brompton to the House in fine weather, though the mickey was sometimes taken since his chauffeur followed in the car with his briefcase. And Sir Alec Douglas-Hume sometimes also cycled as a Prime Minister. There's an All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group...

I think they could if it's a resounding Brexit win with a good election turnout. Although the mainland European politicians put on a brave face, they are feeling as hurt with Brexit as their peoples who were/are living here. No-one likes rejection of themselves or their pet project. A result...

:( :( :( :( :( Or he could fall off his bike. .

Better not take the phone into the toilet with you then, must maintain standards. .

That style of Powabyke normally uses three 12 volt SLA (lead) batteries in series. .

True, but the German commercial interests have to be taken into account as well. .

Imagine what the European Parliament would make of that news! I don't imagine Guy Verhofstadt would be impressed. .

Good point. Either way they'll suffer though, brexit has been a very expensive experience for them. .

But don't bet against a small further time extension for a new Prime Minister if the EU thinks they might just get the renamed/tweaked deal passed. They don't want No Deal either. .

Not yet, the legal intentions are to stop makers incorporating defeat systems, such as button push changes in the handlebar units. It's not passed into law yet but some makers have already planned for it with current units. Externals like dongles may still find ways round it. .
