    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's a bit like the weather, sometimes the conditions are just right to bring a record breaking storm. I wouldn't read too much into this. At the end of the day, the British political system and freedom of the press work here, we'll somehow muddle through this mess. there is a lot of posturing...

    Road bike conversion

    the XF07 kit has a soft start - CF fork is OK. rear XF08C is better for traction and about half a kg heavier. This is a 20kg road bike conversion I did last week with BBS01B and 17AH battery. The customer is well delighted with its performance. The XF07 kit is 1kg lighter. The wiring is on...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's an allergic reaction. However, TM did promise no single market, no customs union in their last manifesto. they are also aware that: - the second referendum is supported by the majority - if people vote again right now, it's likely that brexit will be reversed

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    from that poll, I reckon 4 out of 5 DM readers are tory voters. there was poll at the CPC18, 77% supported no deal brexit. that is the size of the mountain that TM and moderate tory MPs have to climb.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Graham Norton: I shut my eyes. I do some deep breathing. There is a bloody-mindedness about it. Some sort of Brexit is going to happen even though at this point everyone knows it's a bad idea. I do think that there is something very British about it. 'I said I was hungry enough to eat my foot...

    even if the UK negotiates successfully a Canada+++ FTA, Northern Ireland will likely stay in the EU's Single Market, the customs border will be moved to the Irish Sea.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    even if and when the UK 'falls' off the EU's cliff, there will still be agreements on travel, immigration, freight, bank clearing etc. Businesses have no other choice than to follow existing procedures as the UK and EU are treated as third countries, the same customs offices will clear goods...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if that situation arises, the customs border will be effectively the Irish Sea. Companies operating cross border will initially have to submit import documents and go through checkpoints until NI becomes accepted into the EU Single Market..

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if NI is to remain in the U single market after brexit, it can't be in the EU single market at the same time. Beside this technical paradox, TM needs both the DUP and the ERG to get her plan through parliament. However, the DUP and the ERG will never agree with one another because fundamentally...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's not possible in this case to treat Northern Ireland with the same customs regime as for example England, Scotland or Wales. If, for example, the UK impose 42% tariff on EU cheese (that the WTO), Irish cheddar can be smuggled to Belfast and put on a UK truck to go back to Dublin then...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    from the Daily Mail: 'May on the brink as ministers threaten to QUIT over plan that could keep UK in EU customs union indefinitely'. They are talking about Andrea Leadsom and Esther McVey leaving soon. Apparently, businesses don't mind that brexiteers leave the cabinet, the Pound rises on the...

    I would recommend the XF08C kit with 17AH battery. On a lightweight, fast rolling bike, you can easily get 70-80 miles from a full charge. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#xf08ckit

    Battery security - in-frame designs?

    the most secure in-frame battery is this one: It is locked and easily removable but the lock is inside the frame, you have to fold the frame before you can access the lock and remove the battery. Capacity: 36V 12AH with Samsung 29E, 14AH with Samsung 35E. You find them on folding bikes like...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the will of the people is still 52/48 but this time to remain. Perhaps the ERG knows that very well and try to sabotage brexit themselves to avoid taking the blame when things get real difficult. I can't see any other reason why they would want to vote down the budget in a couple of weeks.
