    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Again you do it, one long rant about Corbyn, not just in relation to article 107 but also about his stance on the EU, my opinion of him, my not defending him, his perhaps changing his opinion on th EU, him supposedly keeping May in power. That is what is odd, your anti-Corbyn and anti-EU...

    Why are used e-bikes worth so little?

    I'd say obviously try for more if you really want or need more. Personally when I have anything to get rid of I prefer to give it away to someone who might appreciate it. When I can't find such a person I've used Cash Converters on odd occasions to turn the item back into cash. On one...

    Why are used e-bikes worth so little?

    I answered this just the other day, it's the small market. It's both small overall and even smaller for any particular type of e-bike. Also a point that had others disagreeing. The fact is that second hand in most products other than cars is unfashionable, as it is in all advanced economies...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Zlatan, I would like to have an intelligent discussion with you on these matters, but you make that impossible in two ways: First is your irrational phobia about Corbyn that makes you introduce that into almost every post, however irrelevant. Second is your refusal to see the reality of what...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Now I don't understand, the EU is a region and not a language or political party. Netflix has apparently made a committment to the EU region. Brexit could have an effect on the UK with such an agreement, since it would limit potential. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why would I have a link? My post was just an interpretation of Danidl's by only quoting the salient points, since you hadn't understood that. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Totally irrelevant again and no barrel scraping. My post were explanations of Danidl's post for Fingers, not my own thoughts or sentiments. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't know why you keep posting this, it's about aid, not state ownership. The latter doesn't necessarily mean aid as th EU well know, and it's why they are happy with full or partial state ownership of exporting companies so long as that position isn't abused. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, your response is nonsense. Netflix agreed a greater proportion of EU product from 2020, not European. Ergo, when out of the EU we will be in their reduced market compared with now. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's wrong because it simply isn't true. as we've shown you with the contrary state ownerships and acquisitions and the below: "EU law explicitly protects the right of member states to nationalise industries. Art. 345 TFEU states “The Treaties shall in no way prejudice the rules in Member...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is all part of the fantasy world you occupy, in which anything Corbyn or left wing is evil. None of it is fact as I've just been showing you from your previous post. The EU don't care who we elect so long as it's not an extreme right wing party or leader. They are the ones that have been...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Let me try: Netflix made an agreement that on its European service it would increase the volume of EU sourced product from 2020. But as the UK will then be outside the EU, we won't benefit from that increase. Instead we'll be part of the reduction of sourcing from outside the EU. Worse off. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Relevance? Do you know what proportion of the EU Greece is? The EU is almost 98% not Greece. .

    Hard to find parts

    Yes, it's astonishing what they've got stashed away. When I wanted a Shimano gear hanger to convert a single speed/hub gear frame to derailleur I couldnt find one anywhere until I contacted St Johns Cycles. They had them:

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not true, Renault have been in and out of full or partial state ownership like a yo-yo ever since WW2, finally privatising in 1996 but still 15% state owned now. Being in the EU throughout didn't stop that. EADS (Airbus) was over 50% state owned by France, Germany and Spain at one point and...

    Hello Pedelecs

    I'd definitely avoid that one. The trouble when something like e-biking gets popular is that all sorts of companies jump on the bandwagon for a while and then often drop them. That bike has a frame integrated battery and you could be stuck at replacement time if no longer available. Recelling...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Where on earth do you and Zlatan get your strange ideas from? Nationalised state infrastructure is the European norm and over time most of Europe has always had a strongly left political bias. It's only the recent mass immgration that brought a hard right revival, but that's already failing. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nonsense, the EU has no problem with the left and is broadly left biased anyway. Their problem is with the right, especially the more extreme like our hard Brexit tories. .
