Farage had long been finished anyway. His flopping great march on London reminds of the failed attempt at a River Thames protest against the deal on fishing. He didn't get TfL permission for that so the boat was unable to dock at any pier and Rees Mogg and co couldn't get on board to join in...

They are not pedelecs as we understand them here. For many years what the Chinese have been riding are mostly what we call mopeds, many of them not even having pedals and often with around three times or more of our legal wattage rating. Anyway, as I said before, send your pedelec here and...

Start with Farage facing a charge of treason. In his last European Parliament speech he actively urged MEPs and EU leaders to block any request by the UK for an extension to article 50. .

They've been doing this for many years. Back in the 1991 John Major recession with no jobs available, the Job Centres were pressurising unemployment benefit claimants to do voluntary work, with thinly veiled threats of losing benefits. David Cameron's Big Society was policy following official...

And on St. Patrick's Day too. .

You really dug deep to give this answer to Tillson! His post was from 29th May 2016! .

We can't vote for them though. When are they going to set up an SNP South? ;) .

No matter how long they last, the current saving makes them far better value over time, and the way electricity prices are going, that will get better and better. I know the huge amounts I've saved by switching to each new generation of energy saving lighting as it's arrived. .

A pub. .

Neither of these comments are relevant to this discussion. I expressed my opinion as we all do. The difference is that years ago I knew and correctly forecast the outcome we have, that the deal would not and could not be true Brexit, at a time when the Leavers in here and elsewhere were...

As I posted, none of the wider population since it was parliament's job to make such decisions. We don't govern by referenda in a parliamentary democracy. Such an immensely complex matter as leaving EU membership should have been subject to a viability study first and the conclusions examined...

Just checked and that redirection makes it look like they may have given up on their Powacycle subsidiary. That wouldn't surprise me, they haven't been doing well for a long time, their service has always been very poor, and others have been struggling too, such as Freego Cycles packing in. .

I think that had value in being raised, since it's a widespread puzzlement in the populace. Only a couple of days ago I remarked in here a Sunderland man saying the same. It's as well the House is reminded that the populace contains a huge proportion of people totally unfitted to vote on such...

As it was of course. Way back on 28th July 2017 I posted that it was effectively impossible to leave the EU, a conclusion reached several years earlier. Here's the link to what I posted then. As ever no notice was taken, so once again I posted similarly on 20th April 2018, here's the link to...

The sensible way is with customs union and single market, which solves the Irish border problem and will retain all our car manufacturing. And continue with the EU's trade deals since we can never get better, and as a much smaller unit will most likely get worse. In other words, scrap the...

Europe's largest pedelec markets are Germany and The Netherlands, between them buying nearly one million pedelecs a year these days. And almost all of them are full size, in fact I've never seen a Dutch or German person riding a small wheel pedelec. Both those races are famously tall anyway...

Treason. And it is still a hanging offence. .

The problem is that it was the UK that joined the EU, it being declared by us a country in international terms, but it's not a nation. For years I've criticised the shambles we've created with there being Britain, Great Britain and the United Kingdom, none of those are nations but containing...

That may be, but what we care about is where we ride, which even in commuting all too often contains hills which we ride up. Your post reminds me of what Wai Won Ching once said to me: "Chinese cyclists don't pedal up hills, they get off and walk up them". .
