    Brexit, for once some facts.

    James Delingpole was ridiculed not so much because he accepted that he did not know the answers, but because had he known the answers, he would not have made that video. If he had read up Minford like he said he should have, he would have known that Minford knew that would wipe out UK...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    about 28% of those responding to polls do not want to pay the divorce bill. Given that 52% voted for leave, that is roughly equivalent to half of the leavers do not want to pay that divorce bill. If there is another referendum, some of the leavers may think that the cost is too high and will...

    First time conversion of a Decathlon mountain bike, could you help?

    You are right. Although the output port is facing downward, water can get into the controller that is integrated into the base of the battery. The picture shows a GSM motor with internal controller, his battery base does not have an integrated controller like on the XF08C kit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Leavers should concentrate on the next stage of brexit instead of coping out behind no deal's excuse of not paying the divorce bill. what kind of trade deal do you want with the EU and the rest of the world? Same? regulation alignment? common external tariffs? common level of protection for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    another funny thing I heard in Andrew Neil's This Week. He asked: if there is a second referendum, the Leave slogan will be 'Tell them again' what will remain slogan be? Sam Gyimah: 'Trust them again'. BTW, have you noticed the right wing press has gone suddenly quiet.

    you don't accept it but you know why. Beside the estimates for current liabilities, the money buys the transition, the trade deal is free of charge.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    a free vote will be damaging to the conservative party. Its MPs are more remainers than leavers, against the wishes of its membership.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You've let your imagination run a bit wild here. The EU has the apparatus of a government. By the way, I am watching BBC 'This Week' on iplayer. That John Delingpole was so funny! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0c13ylb/this-week-24012019 I can see why remainers have lost! edit: James...

    that's where the ECA is found. This part of the city is occupied by the EU Secretariat, a bit like our Whitehall.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the auditing is as per EU treaty, under the control of the ECA. If it were done by a commercial organisation, you would not have trusted it anyway.

    it's no different than in the UK. Our national accounts are audited by the NAO.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am against further EU integration, the EU army and political union so I think we should leave at some stage but not the way we are heading at the moment. Therefore, I don't see UK joining the Eurozone. If however, parliament decides to join, I don't have problem with that either. I have a...

    Andrea Leadsom accepts that brexit my be delayed. Apparently she thinks it's only for a few weeks.

    from unscrupulous businesses (eg roaming charges), unfair competition, dangerous and sub standard goods, tax dodgers, distortion of the market place, protection of the environment, air and water pollution, unsociable working condition etc. Find me one EU directive that you want to repeal.

    those rules and regulations are there to protect all of us. Do you expect that they will vanish after brexit?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if it's trivial money, then there wouldn't be so much debate going on. If the opposite is true, then shouldn't we go for the least cost option or a second opinion?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    of course not, that's why I am against a second referendum because few people change their mind, no matter what, especially when they are called 'idiots'. Only after another year or two that demography over 5 years will put remain ahead with a clear 60/40 margin. That's why a very soft brexit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    trade with the EU will remain largely unchanged unless we have no deal. It's the future investments and job losses that are linked to the EU27, no matter which brexit. Would we make it up elsewhere?

    they did and if asked again, they may not want to leave now they know it'll cost more than £39 billions. and that's before we become a 'vassal state'. Latest polls: 54/46 to remain.
