    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's not the 40% who decided to spend the money on brexit, it's our government, supported by our parliament. Our government could have decided to build a consensus or announced Chequers plan before triggering A50. You could lament as much as you like on the fact that the brexit agenda is driven...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's not the 40% who decided to spend the money on brexit, it's our government, supported by our parliament. Until Parliament asks us to vote again, the last vote is the legal result.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    she has a point. let me be the devil's advocate here. If you could divide the country into two arbitrary halves: those living in cities, well educated, travelling a lot, living some time abroad even, having good jobs - for them, the vote is a no brainer. The other half will also see the vote as...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think he has been deselected for the next GE, so the choice for him is to retire to the Lords or continues as an independent. The fight for control of the Labour party will split it soon enough.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the word 'fake news' does not describe accurately what's going on, it's distorted news. The printed newspapers follow now their online versions, to replace the echo chambers that are their readers' comments section and forums, headlines are written to exaggerate differences and instill hatred.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can't believe the Daily Express prints this article. It's so far from their usual fighting talk: https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1011205/brexit-news-eu-brexit-talks-negotiations-no-deal-brexit-theresa-may-dominic-raab-barnier "Ultimately, using bolshy, potentially irritating tactics...

    Lishui Bluetooth Controller, programming the easy way

    without an existing connector for the throttle, the only way to add a throttle is to use CDRSKULL's add-on. Although he made it for his Carrera, the add-on should work on any Chinese bike. http://pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/how-to-add-a-throttle-to-a-carrera-vengeance-e-spec.31483/#post-445321

    Brexit, for once some facts.

A YouGov poll of more than 10,000 Britons in mid-August for die WELT, confirms an increasing uncertainty and scepticism about the ecomnomy post brexit, 46 percent of Britons...

    Convert a old lady pashley for hills

    if you want to go for a crank drive kit, then it is fairly straightforward but you will probably lose the fully enclosed chain cover. That problem may be sorted out by fitting a universal guard over the top section of the chain. For all three Pashley Princesses, you will need a rear rack...

    Bafang bbs01 help please

    Hi Sharon, You'd want to locate the source of the noise, is it from the motor, or the rear cogs or the chain. If the noise comes from the motor, remove the chain, turn the motor on and post a video if you can. If the noise comes from the rear cogs, check the gear indexing, any bike shop can fix...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you should blame the voting system which is decided by member countries, not the Commission or the ECJ. The EU is what it is because it's a club - its rules are made by members through consensus. It does not govern directly, so sometimes it's irksome to hear criticism about lack of democracy. My...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the exchange rate reflects the pricing of the Pound where we are heading: hard brexit: £1 = 1 EURO, $1.17 no brexit: £1 = 1.25 Euro, $1.5 Chequers: £1 = 1.2 Euro, $1.4 A hard brexit will cause the Pound to drop initially due to some people pulling their assets out of the UK and little demand...

    advice on BBSHD and alternatives to build a touring/hybrid bike

    I hope to change that. I've been selling BBS02 for many years and have now stopped selling them but stick with the BBS01B which I think is properly sorted.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's fighting talk. Of course David Lidington and Michel Barnier are both right, they haven't contradicted one another. we'll have a deal that says not much on FTA other than recognising that the UK is not like any other third country, which is in itself an understatement. there is still...
