More EU legislation? aren't brexiters against EU legislation?

For hills, the Tongsheng 48V TSDZ2 is a good kit. Videk wrote a review here: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/whoosh-crank-drive-tongsheng-kit-review.34071/#post-489738 If you prefer rear hub motor, I would recommend the SWX02...

Hello Paul, The VLCD5 that comes with the Tongsheng kit has 5 settings: off, eco, tour, speed and turbo. The kit is supplied with a 48V 12AH battery, more than 500WH, good for about 40-45 miles. If you pedal a lot, then you'll get more miles out of a full charge. If you live in a very hilly...

The action of a few promoting cheaper prices from those who cheat hurt those who respect our laws.

they are not. If they were, they would have charged you German VAT they pay EU import duty but the goods are held by fulfillment houses, VAT is not due until the goods are sold to an EU business. google 'bonded warehouse' for explanation. A customs warehouse allows traders to store goods with...

you may have made a valid observation about the scale of what our government does, but tax (in this case, VAT) evasion is a punishable offence. Theoretically, HMRC can go after you to recover the money 30 years after the offence. When you buy from abroad, you are the importer and as such, are...

not that quickly. the Trans Pacific Partnership will still take years to negotiate. Donald Trump threw a large spanner into the works. The current round of negotiation since 2016 still leads to nowhere. That's the trouble with trade negotiations, they seem to go on forever. The EU has done a...

Do you think that we should stop recommendations to purchase from Chinese sellers not registered for VAT in the UK? http://www.vatfraud.org/ The £27 Billion Online VAT Fraud We have been campaigning against VAT Fraud by Overseas Online Retailers since 2014. HMRC’s own estimate of the fraud is...

Customs and Excise estimate that China based retailers (those based in China, not bona fide Chinese importers based in the UK) cost the government £1.5 BILLIONS every year in unpaid VAT, money much needed for public services http://www.vatfraud.org/ The forum should really not help them to sell...

they are in China having a shipping arrangement in Berlin, Germany. The reason they are cheaper than me is because I charge VAT and they don't. They rely on HMRC Customs & Excise to overlook checking your parcel. After brexit, nevermind whichever deal, trans border shipment without invoices...

whose money supports 'clean' brexit? These people outspend the rest of political advertisers put together. https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexspence/mysterious-facebook-brexit-group-britains-future-tim-dawson QUOTE: Unlike other campaign groups, Britain’s Future doesn’t appear to have a corporate...

yes, I reckon about 400-450 would be happy to keep the UK in the CU, at least in the short term, maybe up to 10 years. You have most of Labour MPs + soft tory brexiters and remainers. The only problem is most of the WTO brexiters are conservatives, CU will split the tories.

you got a little confused. The important point is to keep NI in the UK's single market and customs territory. The slightly less important point is to protect trade between NI and the ROI. The best outcome is for the UK to remain in the EU customs union. Exports from NI to ROI will not have to...

BJ describes the problem of the NI border 'a gnat'. “We are straining at the gnat of the Irish border problem – in fact we haven’t even tried to chew the gnat – and we are swallowing the camel of EU membership in all but name,” he said. Google it up if you like. How important is the NI border...

hub motors are more suitable to low cost commuting. -lower purchase cost compared with CD bikes - lower maintenance cost - gear change at stop / start not necessary - pedal as much or as little as you want - less attractive to thieves I would recommend the Woosh Karoo for lightweight bike or...

Amber Rudd would probably keep NI in the Union. I am not sure that an ERG Prime Minister would. They already resent paying to support NI.

BJ would.

the bottom line is this question: do we want an FTA more than Customs Union and or Single Market. The advantage of the CU and SM is much more than an FTA. If we go for an FTA, we'll be negotiating with the EU forever like Switzerland and the USA. If the consensus is CU + SM, then remain makes...

only cancelling brexit is a medium to long term alternative. 1) and 2) wouldn't last for more than 21 months.
