    we shouldn't make the same mistake again and need a minimum winning threshold at the very least 55/45 but the default is hard brexit this time round.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that's the point though. I would only support a second referendum if polls after polls confirm that at least 55% want to reverse brexit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    he said up to 5 years to reverse brexit. Demography supports this view. roughly 600,000 die a year, most are leavers. roughly 600,000 new young voters a year, most are remainers. on 72% turnout, 2 out of 3 old voters voted for brexit, 2 out of 3 young voters voted remain, every year you have...

    yes, it is true. Their lawyer was on BBC1 explaining this point. We cannot send them back because they have not found work after 6 months.

    no, he is an idiot. after brexit, the NI border becomes the EU and UK external border. It needs policing on top of customs posts. No different in principle to this border post.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I mean the Commission cannot for example rescind their previous directives and various other regulations and targets to reduce the level of integration. I give you the example of FOM. Reforms of the FOM system are possible but very difficult. For example: members cannot repatriate unsuccessful...

    from George Soros (who has American citizenship): "Best for Britain fought for, and helped to win, a meaningful parliamentary vote which includes the option of not leaving at all. This would be good for Britain but would also render Europe a great service by rescinding Brexit and not creating a...

    your posts often disrespect the opposite views. For example, you often use the word 'creatures' to label people who hold opposite political views to yours.

    Dual suspension passenger bike

    it depends what you call reliable. Geared hubs are just as reliable as DD motors if you consider service interval of 4000 miles. The only difference is you will need to replace the clutch unit at the same time if you run a geared motor. Instead of changing a set of ballbearings in a DD motor...

    Dual suspension passenger bike

    there is no bullet proof motor, Chinese or others. I think the best combo is to start with a cargo bike fitted with the Bafang MaxDrive (G330) then add a rear hub motor. The MaxDrive is reliable because you have to pedal, you can't abuse it the way you can with the BBSes. There are quite a few...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the Galileo project illustrates how difficult and expensive brexit is and will be. although I suspect that brexit may be expensive but I never suspect how much we will have to spend/invest to duplicate all things we take for granted as a member of the club, things such as norms and certification...

    if you said so. I am not aware of it. This is a devolved matter for the local government. Maybe JC has a view on it, but the conservatives are too busy fighting among themselves, I can't see TM getting involved.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    but it's just coincidence, in the same way Royal Mail put up the price of their stamps. Try to remember how much we paid for second class stamp before the privatisation of RM. The admin charges for passport and citizenship go up every few years, you can see the effect of government privatising...

    Carrera vengeance faulty sensor? Add throttle?

    throttle and pedal sensor are in the post. You may need to cut and match the wires to the original wires and connectors. Each has 3 wires: ground, 5V and signal. Usually ground is black, 5V is red and signal is any colour but black or red. I was looking for a throttle with a long cable but all...

    some time they have to because their new country (such as Singapore, Austria, India, Saudi Arabia) does not allow dual nationality. It is often a family choice, you can't for example, buy a property on the local market if you don't have the local citizenship. The admin costs have nothing to do...
