We are not being denied Galileo, we will still have full access to its usual GPS facilities like those on the US system. Many smartphones are already Galileo ready. What is being denied if we leave is the very high accuracy level that's used for weapon targetting, for example long range...

I still maintain the margin for Remain will be very much greater. What the polls are missing is the will to vote. With Leavers so openly disappointed and disillusioned with what's happened to date, many will be thinking "What's the use?" Many are already saying that so I think their turnout...

Why is an EU army so wrong when we already have an EU NATO army that we are part of? Wouldn't it be better to have one not directed by the USA into unnecessary wars elsewhere in the world? .

And we don't have to have an EU army since the EU cannot dictate that. Everything from the EU is optional, some of it via treaties we do not have to sign, most of it via laws we can opt out of or modify. Every law arriving has a period in which we can say no or ask for change, usually six...

Now you are getting it. These same clowns are the ones who tell us we will do well on WTO terms after a No Deal Brexit. We won't because they just haven't got what it takes to succeed, we don't have the right product in volume to succeed and we don't have low enough costs to succeed in the...

This is the point I'm struggling to get Leavers to understand. If we are still trading, and I agree we probably will be, that is not leaving the EU. It means we will still have to be subject to all EU standards, including new ones as they arrive. Parliament will still have to be passing them...

Of course I know how much living standards have gone up since then, reminder, I've lived through them all. And there are many in this country whose living standards are little different even now, so not so far detached as you think. .

You might be surprised by how many pop in from time to time. In addition to some of the current regulars, a quick scan of the first 10 pages of the thread reveals these 18 posters: Trex, Flud, lectureral, Kenny, Croxden, d8veh, d8ve, cosybike, damian, derf, HelenJ, Mike Killay, martx007...

I don't need my long dead mum to tell me, I lived through WW2 in London and remember it well enough. It's exaggeration to say Remainers talk in those terms regarding No Deal, but what is forecast has very much in common with the decade following that war. I for one do not want to go back to...

He has done, he's a Remainer and not Conservative, but prefers to post moderately and dislikes forum dispute. I think from what Zlatan has posted that he suspected Robdon is another identity of Old Tom, but that isn't the case as Rob's posts show. For example: "November 23rd, 2015 Since...

No, Robdon even signed off some of his early post entries with Rob. He's posted hundreds of time on e-bikes and posted his high regard for departed member d8veh, something not shared by those you might be suspecting of using the Robdon ID. And his e-bike history doesn't match those suspects...

Yes, he really can be the kiss of death now. I don't think any from the past should be assuming they know better, so I'd prefer Major and Heseltine shut up as well. They've all had their time and didn't exactly distinguish themselves then in what they did. .

But that was voting for what wasn't possible, and why there never should have been a referendum with an impossibility in the choice. Very early in this thread I posted that leaving the EU after 44 years of membership was a virtual impossibility. Now in the chaos we have everyone can see how...

Many e-bikers are elderly, so battery and charger missing often means an owner has deceased at a time the battery was detached for charging, in the house for example. Executors usually having no idea about e-bikes don't connect A to B so the bike gets disposed of without them, as just being...

He doesn't just press Dislike, I get the opposite, 16 Agrees, some Likes and a couple of Funnies in the last two days alone. I think he's sensible in expressing himself via other people's typing effort just with clicks. Much less effort. .

He used to post more regularly and has hundreds of post to his name, but then changed to only occasional comment. His last post was in this thread a year ago and was characteristically brief, just two words of three letters each. Here it is .

I agree with most of this, but since parliament cannot solve the problem, a good option would be for the people to decide in a referendum, May's deal or Remain. But if government or parliament won't grant that, then Norway plus to do the least damage to all parties, preserving all current...

Indeed, perhaps a good indication is that Nissan at Sunderland employ some 9,000, while the seven UK companies supplying them and others employ 19,000. In truth there are almost no national car companies in the 28 EU countries, the EU's Europe has a single integrated car industry scattered...

This is a blinkered response Zlatan, it's not about cars. Fact: Germany's trade with the UK is 7% of all their exports. Fact: Germany lost a little over 7% of their total exports in the 2008 recession. Fact: With the strength of their economy they shrugged that off, continuing to bail out...

Laughable, I posted total loss, that's 100%, not 57%. Germany knows better than Bloomberg and as posted, has said so and proved it. What is is about the fact of prove that you don't understand? .
