Agreed, and not only for that reason. It can't work here because council areas are too small in area, people will just step across the border to pay less. Sales tax works in the USA because it's at state level and states are large, so only those nearest the borders take advantage of lower...

Yes, the cables in your photo have been reversed by someone, causing the problem if that's how they are on the bike. Your Victoria e-bike was made by Derby Cycle gmbh in Germany and it's essentially the same as the original Kalkhoff, Technium, Raleigh gmbh and other brand names owned by Derby...

And even he is fake news. .

Fear is a wonderful motivator. After three years of kicking the can down the road they've become expert at it, willingly aided by the EU of course. Just like football it's not up at the deadline. There's always extra time to be reckoned with. .

Nothing wrong with that, it applies widely for disease control. We are doing the separation from their rules so we are to blame for any inconvenience caused Australia is one of our commonwealth countries, but you can't enter there with those products, and they are confiscated if you try. .

Of the Nut variety. .

Of course he'll meet her, but the problem might well be her intransigence, once again preventing her adding anything from anyone else to her deal. JC will open by asking for Customs Union, and she will say no again. Where it goes from there is anyone's guess. .

I had been under that impression too, but d8veh once posted that is is internally geared. I can't confirm that, but it would account for it's prodigious climbing ability. However, being Panasonic and knowing the longevity of their crank units and their policy on bike assist motors, I'd expect...

There is this right inclined faction in all countries, and it can reach a maximum of about a third usually. The various Le Pen parties in France where you are being an example, and there's similar factions in Austria, The Netherlands and Germany of course. Their rise is always due to any...

Sweden has the smallest salary gap between highest and lowest in the world. It has the closest standard of living across all society. It has extremely high personal taxation to fund one of the most generous and equitable welfare states that has ever existed. This further evens out incomes...

Sweden is already quite close to being truly Communist, their public like it and they are very high in the national happiness ratings. .

Just like Tories Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May. Neither of them ever listened to anyone else, only seeing their own view. .

Being a politician who achieves isn't about having an education, it's about instincts and attitudes. Those can be the right ones with hardly any education, as Aneurin Bevan proved beyond any doubt. I don't expect any miracles from Corbyn, but I do want his ambition to nationalise rail and...

I agree with Oyster, please continue to post, if only from time to time. You will be missed if you leave us completely. You are after all a Remainer, not a Leaver. :) .

You really could not have been more wrong, Danidl has absolutely no sympathies for them. Quite the opposite as his posts content makes clear. .

Politicians don't need to be well educated or clever, they only need the right instincts and intentions to be good. The civil service do the bit that needs education and skills. In case you didn't see it before, read this post of mine. .

A mistake I think, it was this post by Oxygen James that I replied to, 50Hertz didn't respond to it. .

The insurance companies don't like anything that isn't in the DVLA lists of type approved motor vehicles and always charge high in those cases in case of any unknown risks. Silly of course in this case, but it's just an insurance precaution. .

He's young but not a kid, he'll be 20 on 5th May this year and, despite that age, has over 16 years of motor racing experience. It's a sympathy job of course, meant as a slight compensation for the loss of both legs which wrecked his intended career in F class racing, and as praise for his...

Labour never pick the right man though, remember them landing Ed Miliband instead of David? And although Clement Attlee's qualities are recognised now, before he was elected he looked very unlikely as PM material. Churchill ridiculed him, saying he was a modest man, with much to be modest...
