    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's difficult to see JC's winning if he makes a deal with TM for a soft brexit. The City does not expect to see brexit any time soon, his MPs don't want brexit. a deal with TM may soothe his Eurosceptic soul but won't win him votes and make him PM. All it does is to bring back half of the...

    at the time she set her red lines, she still believed she could get a deal with the EU that did not involve the NI backstop.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I doubt that conservative brexit voters are so disgusted by TM or JC that they would go out to vote for the Libdems or the Greens. It's more likely that they stayed at home while those remainers who regretted not voting in the last referendum went out to vote this time. You just look at places...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Libdems won a lot more seats than UKIP lost, so the reason is much more than that. The last polls show increasing support for remain, my guess if there is a new GE now, brexit is not going to happen.

    so their opposition are globalists? you are fast becoming a pro. I much prefer to hear what you think and why. wiki has this on PIS: Initially the party was broadly pro-market, although less so than the Civic Platform.[47] It has adopted the social market economy rhetoric similar to that of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You should check out how PIS managed to win elections. It has more to do with forming alliances with right wing and populist parties, nothing to do with kicking out the globalists. If they did, give me some names.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This has only small connection to brexit. You have Le Pen in France, Salvini in Italy, Orban in Hungary too and more recently, Abascal in Spain. it's one of the problems the EU has to deal with and it shows clearly the limit of EU's supranational power over its members. Like other ex Soviet bloc...

    cracks or no cracks, they can send vfr400 to the dark side of the moon! They can cope with BJ, Farage, Moogsie etc. The EU can only dream of.

    we are still a long way from eliminating tariffs and regulatory wars which got brexit stuck, leave alone real wars, famine, diseases and old age. I watched Click on News 24 this morning. Spencer Kelly presented the issue of Huawei very well. We need a 5G antenna every 100M or so and Huawei is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's about where our future must be. You either believe in the US of E or you don't. since both Margaret Thatcher and Jacques Delors (president of the EC's commission 1985-1995) spelt it out in the late 80s, you either choose the short term view or long term view, not both. I am not disputing...

    I am not. Brexit fascinates me. On one side of the ring, you have brexiters who insist that they can be having cake and eating it. On the opposite side, you have remainers who insist that the EU is where our future must be. Both sides defy common sense and yet, anyone in the middle is going to...

    VC will stay on at least to the end of the month. If we have GE or second referendum, he'll wait until it's done. diversion tactics. Both TM and JC are losers last Thursday, but TM lost nearly 20 times more councillors than JC. You could say that JC has won tactically. If there was GE next...

    How to squeeze the most of the battery?

    assuming that it's not a competition, you will need about 1,100WH of energy to complete the ride. If you have a 500WH battery, then the balance will have to come from your own pedaling. 1500m of ascent over 100km is not much (1.5% on average), so air resistance will be an important factor. Out...

    there were two clearly pro-remain choices: Green and LibDems. I also suspect that most of the independent successful candidates came from the conservatives and Labour.

    E Bike for my wife

    I would suggest she test rides a few bikes first to see which she likes best. Basically, the way I would narrow down the choices is this: she will need to choose between bikes fitted with a torque sensor that require her to select the right gear and put in at least 25% of the energy through...

    No, she's become Eurosceptic even before her speech to the College of Europe in 1988: “We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them reimposed at a European level with a European superstate exercising a new dominance from Brussels. Certainly we...
