    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's no different from general elections, a following one is a vote on whether the previous winner's policies were successful enough to defeat new proposals from others. Brexit has appeared to have failed even before it's started as you've acknowledged by saying we won't be leaving. Why it's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They'd already expressed satisfaction with what they had in their home rule referendum, so the dictum didn't apply there to sufficient degree, enabling Remain to succeed. Scotland v England also came into it. Breaking the result down into smaller areas can always produce some opposing...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly, we can do the same. The problems of EU membership are largely imaginary, such as the claim that we are prevented from trading worldwide. Germany, Sweden, Denmark, France, The Netherlands, Italy and others do so without any problems. Where we don't is because we are just not good...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sorry, don't agree. Leave won because Leave meant change. Remain lost because it was no change. Since any electorate is never satisfied with what they've got and always want change, the outcome was pre-loaded, especially with the austerity we were enduring leading to demands for change. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In what way will their life outside of work be enhanced by Brexit? Those who take holidays in the EU will be inconvenienced and even the leave brigade are admitting that there will be a number of years of being worse off before it might get better. If those car workers don't believe their...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The question asked was why even the car workers whose jobs may depend on EU membership are still hard brexiters. Either it's on the discrimination grounds I posted or they are too thick to understand their own situation. You choose. And please don't try to tell me their cars will be sold...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, they were air guns. There's a Wikipedia article about this. Here's what it says: "This forward-moving barrel has given rise to the view that the Gat is not an air weapon at all, but simply a spring catapult. This is incorrect. The piston is a leather seal around the outside of the inner...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Stuffing it to Johnny Foreigner, that's what is at the root of it. As some of us have said all along, for lots of these people and especially those car workers, it's pure xenophobia, simple dislike of foreigners. In every respect they want Britain for the British, or more accurately for many...

    bought an electric bike without battery, appreciate some battery buying advice .

    An added note John. I'm assuming it had a lithium battery since there are few of their old NiMh batteries still in use. I mention it since the chargers are different for each type, so if changing a new charger is needed as well. .

    bought an electric bike without battery, appreciate some battery buying advice .

    Hi John, it's a Powacycle, Powabyke is another make so best to avoid any confusion. The original Li-ion batteries for these were actually 25.9 volt though nominally 24 volt. Their controllers could handle 36 volt so you could buy either. On a nominally 24 volt battery they are limited to the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wouldn't disagree with that, but I can't see that it has any connection with what I posted? That was just my reading of Nicola Sturgeon's position and a response to Grey's points. .

    It was the slip with Nicola Sturgeon that did it, near identical expression of his pet hate, and the dates of Tillson suddenly vanishing and 50Hertz arriving clinched it
