The same question should perhaps be asked of those who line the routes the Queen takes on official functions to wave little union flags. And of those who gather in large numbers outside parliament to demonstrate in favour of Hard Brexit or Remain. And of those who are employed who spend so...

Speaking of scum, I note that "Tommy Robinson" supports what Donald Trump says about Sadiq. You are not in good company. .

You have a short memory. Don't you remember my pointing out that Aneurin Bevan was set back a year at school by his headmaster, despairing of him ever achieving any sort of an education. But that still failed so he left school at 13 years old, later becoming one of the greatest politicians...

Of course it is, it's a world premiership held in England. Why do you think that is knocking it? I'm far from doing that, I'm in praise of its multi-national nature which makes it so good and so widely watched and followed. It fits with my universal freedom of movement politics. Not so...

I agree that Sadiq should not comment on Trump, but equally Trump and his son should not have gone to verbal war against Sadiq when they discovered three years ago that London has Muslim mayor. That was and remains pure Trump racism. Since then Trump and his extreme right and Islamophobic...

The only person Donald Trump ever puts in his place is himself, by repeatedly showing what a fool he is. It's astonishing that he doesn't realise how so much of the world views him as a clown. .

16,141,241 with brains took the opportunity to shine in the referendum by voting Remain. .

I didn't watch it, but from some previous years I agree it's not only about the songs. More about nationalism, cronies and politics. .

I agree, much better to aim for a smaller design more suited to city only use. E-motorbikes will be very range limited for ages due to not being able to carry much battery weight. Still end up pricey though. The Vectrix e-scooter over a decade ago was excellent, but its £7000 was too much for...

Joking? For song writing, see our last place in the Eurovision song contest and consistency of failure in almost all other years. For football, see our World Cup record and the fact of our league being so full of foreign players, coaches and managers. English football is rather like our car...

Agreed, but Ken was promoting Rory Stewart, not standing himself. At 79 next month he's too old now. .

Kenneth Clarke has more sense than most of his fellow MPs. Presence is what the likes of Boris Johnson have. I know which the country needs most. .

Been done and failed. A scheme was set up in Israel using cars designed by e-car experts Renault but within a few years it folded. The problems are the very high capital costs of the exchange installations and their large size, the management of battery deterioration, plus various lesser...

I've already written up about that in the forum some while ago, but no, in my view definitely not for those who do long journeys, other than perhaps someone who wants to do just one or two longer journeys in a year that demand only one rapid charge en route. Some feel differently. My 2018...

Much of what he found applies to e-cars too. Ideal for urban conditions and traffic heavy areas, and above all very relaxing to drive, far more so than i.c. vehicles. It's difficult to describe why and a short test drive doesn't reveal it. But live with an e-vehicle and the degree of...

Although the clamp area of most handlebars is about 1" or 25.4mm diameter, the grip areas are different for almost all upright and drop handlebars: Grip areas: Upright bars = 22.2mm, 7/8" diameter. Drop bars = 23.8mm, 15/16" diameter. So the upright bike's handlebar fitments won't fit...

They've always suffered from fragmentation that they should have acted against on each occasion that appeared. Bodies such as the 1922 Committee, The Tory Reform Group (TRG), the ERG, the 92 Group etc. Each meets separately, conspiring to shape the Tory party the way they want it, so it's...

Indeed, but as my post said, "some past names - - - - - - - - - - - - and many others". .

The answer is no. We once had a substantial electrical and electronics industry as this list of some past names shows, GEC, Plessey, Mullard, Marconi, STC, A.H.Hunt, Redifon, Bush, Murphy, Ekco, Thorn, Pye and many others who have long disappeared. Though we have more recently had a few...

He's been slow to act at times and should have done more, but he hasn't cost us lost multi millions and isn't leaving us a number of failed projects to clean up. .
