    Brexit, for once some facts.

    did you watch BBCQT last night? John Healey for Labour had a bit of difficulty explaining Labour's position on brexit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If you simplify a solution, more people can understand it (or they think they do). Remainers complicate things, that's why they've lost. Take the £39 billion bill. Remain should have won that argument by pinning it on Leave's slate. 'You ordered the beer, now pay the bill'. Somehow, Leave...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suspect it's a group/identity thing. As soon as one side (Leave) seizes any word containing 'national' in it, if you are part of a group, you'd fall for it.

    Hi everyone I'm new to the ebike world and after some advice.

    it's easy to fit a PAS to a hollowtech bottom bracket. You only need a magnet disc that is drilled so it will fit around the right side ballbearing. The kit comes with the correct parts and fitting instructions.

    they may lose faith in their future here and move out. Top of the list is the big pharma companies. these things take years and like a crack in the dam's wall, after 10 years, a small trickle of a few companies a year moving out will become a torrent.

    with some important limitations, notably that the allowance is only for point to point, UK-EU, transfers are not allowed. Your truck can take goods from London to Paris, drop some in Paris, then go to Frankfurt. Your trucks are not allowed to pick up some additional goods from Paris for...

    KirstinS, are you going to fit the drilled magnet disc I sent you? I noticed that the sensor head needs something to attach it to the seat tube or to the bottom bracket left cup. The cup has six bolts, can you attach the sensor to one of the bolts?

    that's what they'll do - and so will the DUP after a little prevarication. Between JC's rock and the backstop, it's the obvious choice. I've always suspected that JC is going to save brexit one way or another if it does not cost him votes. The next step for remainers is to make sure that JC will...

    that why I like JC's current strategy. A fresh general election will do this country a lot of good.

    that's the relative scale of brexit pain for NI, from least: customs union,hard border with Ireland, in the backstop. Customs union is unlikely with a conservative government, so the backstop is the most likely outcome for any negotiated deal by a conservative government. For no pain, he must...

    the same way MPs in Westminster have to justify their take on brexit when they vote against their constituency. Belfast North narrowly voted for remain but a no deal brexit will lead to job losses. Mr Dodds's last majority may not be so safe.

    when the next GE arrives, he should remember that 62% voted for no change.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    put yourself in place of Mr Nigel Dodds. What can he do? if he sides with TM, he's possibly putting NI in the backstop. If he sides with JRM, he'll certainly put a border between the two parts of Ireland. If he sides with neither, he'll get Corbyn. His best move is to revert brexit but he can't...

    that's nothing wrong. Central banks always have big balance sheets. Printing money to improve liquidity is the role of central banks. They all do that. You have to look into the exchange rates and balance of payments to figure out which way the economy is heading. Hard brexit will cause a flight...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we don't know because our inflation was then (Back Wednesday, 16-Sept-1992) HIGH compared to Germany, France Benelux etc that the Pound could not be kept within the 'snake' that was the ERM. Notice that we have had higher inflation than in the Eurozone ever since its inception. Had we joined...

    it's the opposite, the government bond buying program injects liquidity into the economy, resulting in lower interest than otherwise. It's when liquidity is in short supply that cash becomes expensive and lending rate goes up. BTW, the Euro is now a more popular reserve currency than GBP. It's...

    deemed offensive? that's your interpretation. our side still does not know what we want but finding closer union expensive? yes but offensive? no. The main obstacle is we want a seat at the table when you talk trade and security.

    Hi everyone I'm new to the ebike world and after some advice.

    motors with torque sensor like the TSDZ2 don't need hydraulic brake sensors unless you fit a throttle. motors with cadence sensors should have hydraulic brake sensors fitted for belt and braces.

    they do and they don't. They prefer we cancel A50 and they don't really want us in the single market, they prefer we leave on negotiated WTO. Right from the beginning, the EU's point of view is keep it simple: no cherry picking, UK to cancel A50 or out on WTO. The deal TM negotiated is as much...

    Could you give me your opinion on this kit?

    that price £120 is as it is. You can fit an optional LCD if you wish. I find that I cope easily without the LCD, just change gears to suit the terrain. No need to run the LCD cable to the handlebars. I am getting a very compact 36V 10AH battery made to go with it. The battery weighs just 1.2kg...
