    you should ask FB and Aaron Banks about that. It's their databases after all. We use a lot of online 'free' services. At the end of the day, it's partly our fault to be so trusting.

    He did not break any law and it's his job to deliver a victory for his side. The fault is of the government to have created as many as 3 million angry voters ready to punish it.

    are you going to watch Cumberbatch Monday on Channel 4? quote: The drama, which also takes in such highly topical subjects as data mining, the power of social media and fake news, shows that even though Cummings is largely unknown to the general public, he had an enormous influence on the...

    the kits I sell are usually good for climbing up to 15% gradient without sweating. The BBSHD 1000W can go a bit higher, 20%. How often you need that extra ability?

    yes, in some areas. We pool sovereignty in the area of the functioning of the single market. This is because the benefit of a larger single market is very considerable. We can negotiate better deals and cut production cost leading to higher purchasing power to all 500 million EU citizens...

    sorry, it was a mistake. speed of light is slower in water, as you said, proven by the refraction index of water, 1.33. I blame the old age. I was watching some documentary about some nuclear generator a little earlier where one could see the blue light leaking out by Cherenkov radiation. That's...

    only in our region of space and in vacuum. In water for example, light travels faster than in vacuum. Even vacuum is never a perfect vacuum. When the universe was created, it is assumed that the initial expansion did not follow our current laws of physics. Einstein's Relativity is one theory. It...

    He runs a supermarket. I suppose you buy his unit trusts? they don't have any particular skills. They cast their net wide, eventually catching some lazy investors. If you want your money to work for you, invest it yourself.

    after brexit, this country will be in the hand of the likes of Liam Fox, Chris Grayling, Jeremy Hunt, Gavin Williamson, David Davis, Dominic Raab and god forbid, Boris Johnson. Give me the name of someone good brexiter that you would trust your money to.

    Blair did not want to return to Westminster. He did not get kicked out, certainly not by the electorate.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Westminster still holds the right to make laws in this country, we only share a portion of our control. To imagine that the bunch of idiots in Westminster can run the UK internal SM post brexit better than the EU wide SM is risky.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that's the nub of the problem. UK politics is incredibly tribal. We imagine that we can remove the self serving idiots but in reality, can we?

    750w mid drive Vs 1500w hub drive

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    WTO brexit is attractive to conservative voters because they don't have to face the cost of brexit immediately. But it's only a short term option, OK for a few months, we will have to settle with the EU soon after we leave.
