Does anyone still think that the child should bear responsibilities for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    her beliefs are hers, she knows what's best for her child and she can well imagine that her child's beliefs will be different from hers. As she said to the reporter, she'll do whatever is required for her child to be born here. I take it that she will take her punishment if it comes to that. We...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    as far as the facts are established, she wants to hand herself in to the authorities because she wishes her unborn child to grow up here. It is a valid aim as a mother and a person. Her political conviction and religious beliefs are not necessarily proven.

    yes, but I guess it's easy for Gospade to use the more popular 5 bolt 130 BCD like the Tongsheng TSDZ2. more info here: https://www.gospadebike.com/motor They modified the standard motor for me to test with higher torque, not quite as strong as the 48V TSDZ2 but not far off, around 90NM. the...
