    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ashcroft says: “I believe that Malta represents the best destination for ambitious UK firms that must have a post-Brexit presence in the European Union.” So typical of the tories millionaires. Where in the world this country will look to after brexit? Malta of all places. Talking about ulterior...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they should have adopted Salvini's tactic: stop boats like the Aquarius to run their ferry service, pay for the running cost of reception centres where people can apply in an orderly manner and children continue with their education. Remember the Vietnamese boat people? About a million...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    what kind of idiots would claim this: it is even farther from the truth than BJ's red bus and what will be the cost to support our farmers and shoemakers when they can't compete? Shall we just stop working, import everything and pay on the never never?

    Newbie advice - Conversion Kit for bike with Hydraulic Disc Brakes

    hello Porkcchop, The Talon is a very good donor bike. If you visit a bike shop, you'll see how much they charge for electric bikes half as good. A rear geared hub kit gives you better traction on wet surface or gravel. Your Talon has 3x8 speed, 8-speed cassette and hydraulic brakes, you need...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    let's look at the problem objectively: Schengen did not create the migrant crisis but because the borders are not controlled, refugees may claim asylum in one country then move to another, creating chaos anywhere they move to or traverse.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    true enough but if it were not for Schengen and the refugee crisis, brexit would not have happened. Now the refugee crisis is 90% manageable but the backlash is still very present.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Matteo Salvini is happy to be called a populist and please, before you take it the wrong way, I am against the rise of populism in Europe. What Salvini has done has not breached the EU human rights convention. He does not allow NGO run boats to ferry refugees from rubber boats to any of Italy's...

    yes, both bikes can easily take you up 12% gradient on throttle. the Santana 2018 is a little better on rough terrain, being a crank drive, can 'winch' you up steeper hills. they are about the same, for being a crank drive you can change gear, the Santana is faster if derestricted. The Zephyr...

    If you are going to get a bike carrier, then you have more options. If not, then your bike needs to be small, folding and lightweight. There are always trade-offs. Bikes with torque sensor usually can't have throttle by its nature, the motor assists more if you pedal harder and faster. That...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Europhiles are supposed to espouse values that they say the EU champions: tolerance is top of the list, OG. Treating nationalists as xenophobes is uncalled for. If you come to their country as tourists, would you expect those nationalists to refuse you entry? If you own a holiday home in Italy...

    all e-bikes are twice as heavy as normal bikes, I assume that you get a helping hand to take the bike on and off the car. Which car do you have? do you have a bike carrier?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you of all people should show better restraint. Countries like Hungary or Italy do not have problems with xenophobia, otherwise their tourism would not flourish. they have problems with nationalism.
