    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But the fuel prices are not the EU's doing. It's the French government unfairly hurting their provincial population who are most affected by the high prices, provoking the protests. Macron is really falling out of favour now. I liken him to Tony Blair, suddenly popping up with a supposed new...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, but the problem is that it's impossible to stop. If banned it would still continue in private, so it's probably best kept out in the open where we can all witness it going on, able to comment and protest. Evil lot that we are, we once had a lobbyist for e-biking, Lord Laird in the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really are a disgusting person, vilifying someone you've never communicated with and who you know nothing about. Robdon is a valued member of exactly five years standing as of this month. He has posted 263 times, 8 times in this Brexit thread, the remainder helpfully on e-biking matters...

    The problem with E-bikes in the UK.

    Back in July when I drove to Chorley and back in the Suzuki I suffered all the M6 restrictions, a real pain. On the return journey I was in fixed 50 limit area, it being clear I was tail of a four car well over 70 mph convoy when suddenly police popped up from behind as bridge parapet aiming...

    And probably on May's deal, perhaps with tweaks, despite all the objectors. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, but there would be a far more determined Remain turnout. I'm sure many inclined to Remain didn't turn out originally due to the same smug complacency that Cameron and the media had, confident of a remain win. They wouldn't make that mistake again, so Remain would have it. .

    Then she'll wreck the Tories electoral position for the second time. After 10 years of austerity it only needs a very slight further worsening of living standards etc to produce a very big backlash. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In and around parliament there is an increasing consensus agreeing with this. Much depends on how stubborn May will be in the face of the evidence of the public's changed mood. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    True, but I think the EU would be happy to allow time for a second referendum. Especially given that indications are that the outcome would be likely to be favourable to them, regardless of the options pattern of the ballot. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, but they will achieve a form of compatibility. The USA's north/south relationship is an example, never agreeing on everything but functioning surprisingly well as a single country both are proud of. That is the EU's eventual future, a Europe all are proud of, despite many internal...

    The first mention of Hitler in Pedelecs forums was by Tony Game back in January 2008. Here it is Then a bit of fun about Churchill and Hitler from Stephen Gately in 2009, here it is Lemmy then had more fun on the topic of dictators' little known history as bicycle dealers, here that is...

    But the majority of the young are pro EU, so why do you want to deny them the future they want? .

    But they didn't start the two world wars that got us into such a mess. They were more our doing. It's difficult to disagree with that, though not too sure about 40%. .

    . Oh dear, this time you have one thing right and one thing wrong: Absolutely, remain is the best way. Land Rover is owned by Indian company Tata, not Germans. .

    More nonsense, showing you were wrong yet again. There have been a very large number of people wanting a unified Europe since Hitler. They brought the Common Market, EEC, EU and all it's unifying treaties into existence. Our Ted Heath liked the concept too. Hadn't you noticed? .

    Indeed I did post what I posted. And it didn't include any mention of this gross distortion that you posted: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/brexit-for-once-some-facts.24369/page-1959#post-469117 And please remember who unnecessarily and inappropriately introduced Hitler into this...
