    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think there is a difference between voting in general elections and on specific issues like proportional representation and brexit. In general elections, you don't need to be specially informed, you just vote for the party or the candidates. On votes for single issues like proportional...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BTW, I watched Click on BBC News yesterday. They had a clip on some Japanese fish farmers using AI to replace skilled workers. The AI is done by Microsoft, running on their platform. It's cheap and easy for anyone with a good idea to develop apps using AI. I reckon it will be a revolution and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    don't forget our appetite for anything internet related. Ever since Margaret Thatcher and the Big Bang in the city, we embrace and swallow the whole spiel about the wonderful world of everything internet connected. Without youtube and Facebook, Le Pen, AfD, Geert Wilders, Farage etc would not...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    maybe he found the thread an echo chamber for pan-European political, spellchecked and grammatical correctness, didn't like it and drops a few stink bombs to see how it goes. I must say I was tempted to follow his links to youtube videos but decided against it.

    coming back to brexit: John McDonnel for Labour team seems to ask for a second referendum as the legal 'Boris lock' should TM be replaced.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    save them from what? from being brainwashed by the Guardian? Perhaps the right choice would be to read nothing and watch youtube. Didn't they say a picture is worth a thousand words? how about the whole video?

    no he has not been found guilty of that charge. His case has not gone to Court yet. Sweden may want to proceed with extradition but they have not decided on the course of action.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the question that report should ask is which newspapers are the most/least trusted, then match the posters who read them with the editorial leaning of said newspapers. Zlatan reads the Mail and the FT, OG reads the Daily Express every morning since brexit.

    The only crime he committed is skipping bail. Extradition may take years, by then, JC could well be PM. I think Assange will be out on bail in a few months.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    this is the plot for Feb-16 to Sept-16. Remain led until April then it went South. By May, it was 50/50. By June, Leave was leading slightly. Some say that it was FB that did it. I think David Camreon was rubbish on TV debates. Nevertheless, the polls were correct within 1% either side. This...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do you know how to get hold of that list of names or were there any complaints made by individual victims of his misdeeds? By the way, Assange was not responsible for the leak that you cited. Assange took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in 2012. The two victims I know of are Hilary Clinton and...

    you should replace the whole crankset if the thread cannot be salvaged. You don't need to replace it with the same crankset, you can replace the damaged one with a better one. Count the number of teeth (typically 44T) on the chainring then post the information here. You do need some tools to do...

    Anyone dealt with Electric Bike Sales?

    it's an easy repair, any local bike shop could have done that for you in a few minutes. Best forget all about this story. If the thread on the crank has not been damaged, you just refit the pedals. They need to be well tightened though. I always put a little bit of grease on the thread, engage...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    JRM's sister joins Farage's Brexit party, Boris is back in the (not so good) news... Boris' column in the Daily Telegraph 'could not be reasonably read as a serious, empirical, in depth analysis of hard factual matters' He claimed: "a no-deal Brexit was the most popular option among the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the example of one person is used as the context. Same as vfr400 cites his neighbours for examples. The predictions are not mine, the polling data is from the natcen, from 75 polls. The trend is clear, remain leads leave at present by some 12%. the lead is slowly increasing since January 2018...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Government is based on typically one third of the vote, about 25% of the population want them, 75% don't. On top of this, this particular government is paralysed by 10 MPs, members of the DUP after TM paid them £1 billion. As for brexit, it's the members of the ERG that refuse to vote for it...
