    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can only think you haven't been paying attention, there is no hope, nor ever was, of brinkmanship achieving anything better. The departure phase of the negotiations is over. The other 27 EU member countries gave the Commission the authority to negotiate it and they are honouring that. From...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not wrong, the EU does not have to reconsider what has been negotiated and an EU official has said as much today. You are probably getting this mixed up with the EU nations individual acceptances of the deal, yet to be reached, though it's believed that will only be a formality. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Some hope. The EU has completed it's UK departure negotiations and will not revisit that matter. The UK must now choose one of the only three options open to us, accept the deal, remain in or crash out. .

    Although I'd like to see Ken in that position, at over 78 I'm pretty sure he'd refuse, judging from various comments he's made. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think she'll be ousted. She'll probably win a vote of confidence simply because there's no-one else on hand to replace her. Two years ago Boris Johnson would have been brought in, but I doubt the party would accept him at the moment. Quite apart from his gaffes, he's committed himself...

    Boy, 15, given six points on future driving licence for speeding on scooter

    If he's anything like some of the teenagers I've known around here, it wouldn't surprise me if he regards having six points as a badge of honour, something none of his mates have achieved. The points will be academic in a year or so when he's racing a car around unlicenced and uninsured. Today...

    He only had one piece of paper condemning him. She's got 500. :eek: .

    Do E-Bikers have "Cyclists Nose"

    I cycled unpowered until almost 70 and then e-biking, but have never done anything like that. I have suffered blocked nostrils but have always stopped and used a handkerchief. Spitting has been ruled an offence of littering in a landmark case, so exactly the same would apply to what you...

    True, but not my slip in origin. It was Wikipedia's in one of their pages and a copy and paste! I should have checked though. .

    Panda Bikes

    They were still active in October, selling the Swytch kit via pre-order on Indiegogo, but it has to be said they were very difficult to contact or get sense out of at times. Have a look at this forum Search Link to see all the recent Panda and Swytch posts. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The only thing I'd alter is that this brainwashing of the young with militarism isn't increasing, it's always been the same as a reference to 1794 shows below. Back in the 1940s and '50s the boys grammar school I went to had one extra curricular activity, their army cadet unit that all were...

    Agreed, it's been going the other way with EU members gradually abandoning conscription, Sweden most recently I believe. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That won't happen. Like Margaret Thatcher, and indeed many women in authority, she stubbornly will never change her mind, no matter how wrong she is proved to be. Having said "Brexit is Brexit", she is congenitally unable to change that. .

    I dislike NATO with very good reason, and think EU enlargement should be on hold until the Southern Nations achieve greater economic compatibility with EU assistance But the rest I fully support. .

    Yes, the Crossfire is the one that cuts out. The Crossfuse model with the Bosch unit is ok, but more expensive of course. .
