    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What collapse? There's many predictions of Labour winning the next GE and a few Conservative MPs have expressed nervousness about this. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I thought this thread might eventually slow down. Big mistake, I left it yesterday evening but by midday today it had grown three and a half pages! And there was me at the 1000 page mark wondering if it would ever reach 2000 pages. o_O .

    Legally running a 500W ebike

    But of course you can buy ready made S class e-bikes complete with certifcate of conformity and number plate bracket. Expensive though and a m/c helmet still necessary. Although annoying, you can see the sense in that when a 28 mph moped rider has to have a m/c helmet. .

    Legally running a 500W ebike

    Yes, it's been done but it's very complex process. You'll find the details in this ES thread. .

    We haven't seen that effect in my 20 limit area, probably due to the much higher intensity of London traffic. Pedestrians still seem to take all their usual care, certainly more than those I see away from London. .

    See Oyster's reply. Even if nepotism came into play, it doesn't matter if he's ideally qualified, which he clearly is. .

    I think it's mainly pedestrians who have this problem. However, things are moving the way you suggest, many urban areas restricted to 20 mph. My London Borough, the largest, now has a 20 mph limit on all streets but the main through routes which are 30 mph. I doubt this saves many lives...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We don't know that, the article was clearly biased to give the worst impression. It stated his salary was "up to £48,000" so we have no idea what it actually is. If he is getting £48k, the £25 k you quote can only be a guideline, leaving freedom to pay more. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not half as much as what the Tories are doing to peoples finance, housing, NHS and public transport, plus the mess they've made of the Brexit negotiations. They remember what hurts, not idle innuendo. .

    Another rubbish story, the quote about 1 in 20 adults intending to buy one in the next 12 months is particularly ridiculous. That would be a jump from circa 65,000 this year to 2.5 millions next year. There wouldn't be enough produced to supply anywhere near that in addition to the over one...

    No, I did see them, but as usual, I prefer the facts (about the man's qualifications) to the personal opinion. .

    "Seb Corbyn was given the plum role of chief of staff to Mr McDonnell where he is thought to earn up to £48,000 a year, paid for from the public purse. Seb, a graduate of politics, political economy and international studies at ultra-elite Cambridge University, initially worked for his dad...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Once again, no it's not costing Labour any votes. Labour voters don't read the Daily Mail. The reason the Mail runs these stories is not to cost Labour votes since they know they don't reach Labour voters. It's to reinforce their Tory readers since they know reading only a Daily Mail diet of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Further illustration of how your anti-Corbyn and anti-socialist views have completely and grossly distorted your judgment. Your replies ignoring clear and irrefutable evidence in preference for your private biased opinions are the very definition of bigotry. .

    Yes, I am. Anyone who reads the Daily Mail is never going to vote Labour anyway, so there's no votes to lose. .
