    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I do accept the faults and have just posted as such!! But I also accept that changing this isn't possible in the way you suggest You just don't get it, you are asking for two opposites! You want the EU to be more democratic, thus respecting countries right to govern, yet want the EU to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They can choose but are mostly too lazy to do so. As well as voting for a party, they can join it and the local association and take part in voting for who represents them. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So I turn that on its head: The unfairness continues because individuals don't apply, voters don't vote, countries don't send. Notice something ? The three guilty groups do not include the EU. It's not within the power of the EU to change this, why can you never understand that? .

    Not really. If I was involved I could see the benefits for that underpopulated country in our modern world, but the immigration matter is for Ireland to decide and none of my business. .

    Institutionally racist and homophobic. Varadkar's race and sexual proclivities have nothing whatsoever to do with bringing in migrants. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nobody has denied the obvious, its just acknowledging that the EU governing makeup is little different from anywhere else in Europe, including the UK. And the same goes for democracy, the EU is easily as democratic as the UK, in some ways more so. You always seem to be confused about the EU's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's the trouble, and don't forget how lopsided a subsidy battle would be. An EU country would not only be offering the cash to move but also freedom from WTO tariffs and in many cases being closer to the bulk of their market in the mainland. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Many of us do and I've posted as such more than once in reply to you. As I've said, I recognise the EU's faults but also see how insignificant they are in reality. Many of the things the Brexiters complain of are falsehoods or irrelevancies anyway. In my view the overall benefits of EU...

    Not only that, with the UK out of EU membership, EU member countries could give generous grants to aid those companies migration, since we'd no longer be protected by the EU's anti-competition law that outlaws them. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suspect much of the reason I don't need to use the heated seats in mine is that , being an e-car, it heats up instantly. It would be different of I had to wait for a couple of miles or more for warmth. .

    I agree, what he said was completely true. The trouble was the way he expressed it with the place in hell comment. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, I didn't miss that, but surely he should have known that his words would create anger rather than any constructive reaction. Those who directed Leave aren't in a position to solve the current problem, so all Tusk did was vent his personal feelings with no possibility that it would do...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can't imagine what he was trying to achieve, trying to shock or looking for sympathy. He does seem to be taking Brexit far more personally than the other EU politicians, looking hurt at times. He obviously has a strong belief in the EU concept. .

    Same as me Zlatan. Heated steering wheel great since I suffer from Raynauds syndrome, meaning my hands go dead with cold surface contact, but I can't see why heated seats are needed when a car is heated anyway. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Unfortunately this is only superficially true for two reasons. Firstly the cars have long run on the all important foreign engines from mainland European companies. So on that key element we fail. Secondly almost all of the rest of an F1 car is irrelevant for road cars. Even the way KERS is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's actually a confidence trick, just a name change. Long ago Toyota changed the name of the long lived Corolla to Auris, which I didn't think a good move. Now it seems Toyota have finally agreed and are changing it back to Corolla again. So it's not new to Derbyshire, all that is happening...

    Once again after being bribed by the government, just like Nissan. The taxpayer is paying for them to stay and invest, but both have said that's conditional on the trading conditions being right. Hence TM's desperate attempts to get her remain biased deal through, necessary to avoid WTO tariffs. .

    Good point, as you say the shadows were very long, indicating a very low sun towards the driver's eyes. With the driver naturally tending to look for motor vehicles, as wrong as that might be, a cyclist is easily missed in difficult vision circumstances. .
