brexiters are slowly pushed back, and now overtaken by the second referendum campaign. Same on here, fewer pro brexit combattants compared to the early months.

soft leavers (leave on EFTA) and hard brexiters (leave on CETA) have answers on most points. It's only the Chequers plan that is non-sensical. TM tries to have cake and eating it. The EU will never let her have her way. They have repeated on each occasion 'no cherry picking' and TM still does...

there is a ring of truth in it - even on here.

The EU will remain our biggest trading partner for a very long time, by shear gravity. We'll have to accept or follow EU standards on goods, H&S, state aids etc or stay close to it - there is a scope for variation but by and large, we'd have to stick to EU's standards anyway. You need to think...

there is no reason why they should be less restricted to ply their trade more than now. the fault is with conservatives' policies, such as privatising public services.

soft brexit is only a graze, it's not going to kill you. Pensioners will still be able to retire to South of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece.

Northern Irish can vote the DUP out of power at the next NI Assembly election. If that's not enough, the GFA allows vote for reunification. At the end of the day, you have to make a choice, which side of the road you want to be. If you don't, you'll be run over.

A CETA or CETA+ will test the resolve of hard brexiters for 2 years in transition, some 5% will have died in waiting. We won't experience much if any ill effect during that 2 year transition period, plus will have plenty of time to develop an association membership of the EU. It is in fact a...

"Respect for the voters who supported Brexit does not mean respect for the politicians who lied to those voters." A comment I picked up yesterday. This said, the EU27 is willing to make a deal based on CETA plus a few extras in view of their trade surplus with the UK. They include probably...

10S5P, 50 cells. If you charge your battery to 39V-40V instead of full (41.5V), you will certainly prolong the life of your battery but this needs to be taken together with other factors: 1. rebalancing: the BMS draws its own energy consumption from 1S out of the 10S, causing that (5P) block to...

In addition to kinetic and potential energy, the main reason to spend such a large amount on weight reduction is the moment of inertia that affects wheels, cranks, fork and chain. Moment of inertia reduces acceleration in the same way that your weight does. My Karoo illustrates the cheapest way...

this week YouGov weekly poll: Q: In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the European Union? Right to leave: 42% Wrong to leave: 47% Don't know 11%

Hi Tom, to help guest visitors to the thread: Dominic Raab: "If we work together the Conservatives will deliver a successful deal for all England's regions, including Scotland."

if you ask Norway or Canada, do they suffer from their trade arrangement with the EU? - I don't think so. Farage & Co want to retain some membership's privileges, the EU simply say no. Some of the privileges are frictionless trade and soft border in NI. They have to go or be reduced. Customs...

the Bafang SWX02 48V code 16 is a 5:1 geared hub motor optimised to climb hills for heavy people. It has a huge torque at low speed. The OP's 1000W motor is a direct drive which does best at high speed (>20 mph).

do you want to argue with HMRC? TBH, I was unlucky because the MSC Maersk Zoe got bumped off Felixstowe 10 days ago. Anyway, I placed a new order today for the next lot of bikes in parts to be re-assembled in Southend. Ideally, I'd like to partner with an European bike manufacturers, buy...

I must say nobody pays any attention putting petrol in the tank and it's hard to imagine plugging your car into a 10C, 300KW charger leave alone plugging your car to a 100C, 3MW charger! The mind boggles and yet, progress is leading that way, maybe one day we'd just pop into a shop to buy a ZPM...
