    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, they haven't got the known part wrong, I've already quoted the financial side of that when I quoted the 7% loss of all exports that Germany would suffer. Quoting numbers of cars is just silly and meaningless, they are only a part of Germany's exporting. It's only the overall financial...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is completely delusional. The EU is a world trading power which sets rules and it commands respect worldwide from countries who value it above almost all other markets. To say Germany needs a deal more than us is beyond delusional into lunatic. With total removal of trade between us and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So you agree there still wouldn't be deal with your ideas not accepted, so my comments were not narrow minded, just stating the inevitable. You are the one wearing the blinkers, always refusing to recognise the facts of the situation. The EU doesn't have to accept anything, they have always...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hargreaves was bluffing, he knows as well as anyone that the trade continues after No Deal, simply on WTO terms. Affecting both sides, the only difference will be a longer term decline as companies move operations into mainland Europe and UK buying patterns change. The essence with...

    Torque

    As long as the speed stays up around that 13 mph it won't be serious. Only if you let it slow right down with 2000 watts draining though the motor will it get like an electric fire, the current producing heat instead of motion. .

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    You're in again, riding on Woodcroft Road: Map Link But you were already in from your request on 4th April, riding on Ashbourne Road: Map Link Which would you like to keep, the near home one or the more distant? .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    . What a confused person you are! That's exactly what we already have! Benefits are not immediately payable, there's months of delay before they are. That restriction is not freedom of movement and the EU wouldn't accept it. It's also a restriction of trade which is illegal in the EU...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nicely summed up. I think many Leavers strong anti EU emotions lead them to think everyone feels as strongly about the subject. The attention span of most of the people in the UK for any political issue is quite short and over two and a half years of brexit has been far too much for most...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But only hot air, no actual trouble. It would die down quite quickly since, as said, the great majority are sick of the whole brexit subject and couldn't care less any more. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Like you I think the deal will still get through somehow, but if not another referendum would still come down to numbers, so for the reasons given I'm certain of a reversal in a new one. I don't agree that there would be serious trouble, the great majority of the public are fed up with the...

    Global warming,is it just the cycles of the earth

    Far too much is being made of it. 2018 also included the "Beast from the East" with extreme winter conditions. And the Summer of 1976 was much hotter, although shorter in duration at a little over two months, and the highest UK temperature on record was 15 years ago in 2003. Let's see what...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Diane Abbott as an MP has good personal policies. She has been strongly opposed to the Iraq war, ID cards, the renewal of Trident and has fought for pro choice in the abortion issue. She was elected as an MP for a North London constituency in 1987, re-elected in 2010 and again re-elected in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes but then they get re-elected, like Blair/Brown and Cameron/May for example, so the electorate are still to blame. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Latest news from the Home Office: Two cutters have been redeployed from overseas to patrol the channel with the existing cutter. After the disastrous performance of our type 45 destroyers and the Gatwick drone fiasco, I expect the next embarrassment will be two of the cutters colliding in mid...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The shortlists produced by those we elect, Tony Blair in the case of all female shortlisting for example, so my argument remains true. Oddly enough Diane Abbott was first nominated and elected as an MP when they were supposedly elected on merit, before the all-female shortlist appeared. .

    Trouble is that the people who believe in Genesis and Adam and Eve also believe God created everything 6 million years ago and that dinosaurs have been faked by scientists. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The one key thing you omitted was the far greater determination of Remainers to vote this time. So many, including the politicians and even Boris Johnson, believed Remain would win last time, that it bred complacency among Remainers who often didn't bother to vote. The Leavers were far more...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm afraid we do deserve them. After all, the leaders are all elected by us as MPs, so as an electorate we only have ourselves to blame in the first instance. Then selecting party leaders is in large part done by party members, but if we don't join those parties and take part, again we only...
