the only time that the UK may be forced into considering EFTA membership is when a hard brexiter like BJ becomes PM because even BJ is aware that he'll lose the next GE in May 2022 if there is no deal by December 2020. Any softer brexiter or ex remainer PM would want to call a second referendum...

I meant the UK may join EFTA if the negotiation with the EU isn't finished by December 2020.

we won't be losing all of it though.

the EU has a lot more to gain with a free trade deal, especially if the UK joins temporarily EFTA during the 2 years transition. I wouldn't worry about claims of disruptions to car and drug manufacturers supply chains. Even with a Canada type deal, manufacturers can continue to export cars to...

only over the internet.

the EU may not want to buy medicine made in the UK but nothing stops the UK from buying medicine made in the EU. There are cases where some people may be affected if they buy medicine on the internet without a proper prescription. UK doctors may not be able to prescribe to EU citizens over the...

most of the media (and myself) underestimate Dominic Raab. He managed to get Michel Barnier to accept that there is a link between the political declaration and the settlement of the divorce bill. Barnier: "We may work on a possible link. I don't know what legal form that will take but there...

they go to an electronic switch (FET) on the BMS.

that's rather empty rhetoric, there is not much risk of that in the UK. The real danger is the suppression of the middle ground politics. You can in fact find your own echo chamber whenever you want.

that notice is applicable to all CD kits because there is a danger of overheating the motor. When you derestrict a CD kit, you can hit 24mph and more at the push of a button.. At that speed, the CD motor works at 100% its ability, if you maintain that regime for a while, the motor will overheat...

nothing wrong with a low carb, low fat diet. Make the UK fit again.

I can see your point but seriously, how steep is the hill before you run out of gear on the 44T chainring and 34T rear cog? Bearing in mind that the Rio MTB and the Rio LS both have 17A controller and the Bafang G06 on the Rio LS can develop serious torque, you shouldn't have to pedal very hard...

no. they will soon become 'too big to pay' - they'll control the economic destiny of some countries.

you join the thread a little late, we have gone over a lot of details but there is no problem to present your own analysis for peer review.

there are plenty of other reasons why we should just pay the money and choose to join in a subset of SM rules. Look at EFTA Court versus the ECJ, immigration, in work benefits, industrial strategy, corporation tax, trade partnerships with specific countries, CAP, CFP, budget contribution etc...

in case anyone wonders why I post about these online sellers using duty paid shipping to evade VAT, it is against the terms of service that we all signed up to when joining the forum: "You agree to not use the Service to submit or link to any Content which is defamatory, abusive, hateful...

Richard, Check your invoice from the online sellers. Do they show how much VAT has been paid?

I would have if they operated from the UK. They work from China. PS: you may not know this, but for example the goods you buy online is shipped by DHL. As far as the courier is concerned, you are the importer. As such, you are responsible for paying VAT either to the sending country or the UK.

I think we can get to a reasonable debate if we agree to stick to facts and forgo the usual mudslinging like 'the EU is corrupt' or 'racists vote for brexit'. I see nothing wrong with paying the EU for SM access or exit fees against 2 year transition.

let me explain the reasoning: whether you are registered for VAT or not, the seller has to keep accounts for VAT, he has to supply you with an invoice for the correct amount you paid, VAT must be charged at the correct rate. By making a false invoice to you, he evades tax. He'll be in deep...
