    Not just Fox. Virtually all the separatists repeat the same. JRM was on BBC2 Daily Politics said same. He said that would weed out inefficiency from our producers. One after another, panelists asked him what about the wine producers, the cheese producers etc. What happens to those who can't be...

    best compromise may be a torque sensor rear geared hub bike. You can pedal at any RPM you like and still save on wear and tear.

    didn't go back far enough? Here is one, starting just at the time we stopped renting and bought our first home. The lower the rate, the higher the ratio house price versus income. When interest goes back up again, we'll hit negative equity. Back in 1981, I did not even know what negative equity...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    don't bank on low interest rates lasting for ever. check again the ratio of house price versus income. 3.5 years in the 90s, 5+ now. we paid off our loan in 10 years, my parents in-laws paid off theirs in less than 10, what chance the average young married couple starting a family has in paying...

    we borrowed £17,000 to buy our first house in Southend on a 10 years loan. my parents in-laws borrowed £6,000 to buy their 4-bed house in Wanstead. young people can't have that opportunity now.

    @ Roberticus you reacted with an 'offensive language' - may I ask why?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we live in a much more connected, sophisticated world compared to the early 70s, before the EU. The EU represents high product standard, constancy, respect of human rights, shared responsibility when facing global issues like war, famine, environment. Out of the EU, we'll be subject to party...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you got it back to front. CA = (X-M) + NY + NCT = export - import + income from abroad + net current transfer (ie loans from foreigners) Go back to the early 70s when the UK was a sick man of Europe and needed the IMF. If we keep borrowing to cover for trade balance deficit, soon our credit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we already have a substantial current account deficit. brexit causes loss of confidence, less direct foreign investment and now, even property prices in London go down. There is little left you can get out of devaluating the Pound. Soon, it will be stagflation. It's about time that the...

    so, following your theory, Germany ($296 billions), Japan ($175 Bln), China ($162 Bln), South Korea ($85 Bln) are getting it all wrong because they have huge trade balance surpluses and GB with a huge trade deficit is heading into sunlit uplands (-$91 bln, second largest trade deficit in world...

    I always recommend a cadence of 70+ for CD bikes. Maximum power is usually optimised at 90 RPM.

    if she goes for a CU, the ERG separatists are not going to cooperate, she won't be able to govern.

    no need for high cadence

    high cadence is needed for crank drive bikes, especially with torque sensor. You get more power with the cadence, put less stress on the motor and transmission.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    she will need to call a new general election after getting her deal through. If parliament approves her deal, the DUP will cease to cooperate and her government can't govern. She'll be forced to call a fresh GE to replace the DUP. I reckon JC knows this, he is keen to do everything he can to help.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    nobody expects any substantial change because the deal is already done, only the ratification process needs completion. If TM comes back with a concession, she will be pushed to ask for more by those who will vote against her no matter what. If she doesn't, she will still be accused by the same...

    don't go there. If you have a throttle, you need brake sensors to cut out the motor just in case the throttle gets stuck when engaged.
