Minford works for the hard brexiters, whereas the Treasury's economists will make the best of the situation. As I said before, every cloud has a silver lining. They'll find it, it's their job. Please note that the Treasury estimates that the period that brexit causes us problem is about 15 years.

I am not going to hurt you. I agree with the reasons you gave, but for practical considerations, the OP can get 15% off from Halfords and Halfords won't likely know that the OP uses his bike for his work. So it's up to the OP to work out whether it's cost effective to write off the bike after...

we are a long way from 1973. Let's take a look at the G7 countries. If you compare for the period since we joined (1973) how much in growth Canada, the USA and Japan, the 3 countries outside the EU, have achieved against the four in the EU: Germany, UK, France and Italy, the 3 outsiders do...

it's just a way to say that we are more capable, richer and more developed than the average EU27 countries. We may be able to do better than our arch-rival France in the long term.

it's a difficult guess. The EU's way is good but the UK has a lot of brilliant economists. We can potentially outdo the EU on long term.

The voltage sag is an important consideration. when you climb a hill or accelerate, the motor pulls a lot more power from your battery. When your battery is fully charge, if you check its voltage with a voltmeter, it is 41.5V. When it's completely empty, 31.5V, 10V difference between a fully...

I have a range of hub kits with 13AH, 15AH and 17AH batteries that may suit your needs. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits They are slightly more expensive (about £50) than ebay offerings but you get better components, better pre-sale, installation and after sale support.

the problem is how to get the EU to wheel and deal like Donald Trump. The EU wants structures and rules for trade, DT wants to do deal by deal, you scratch my back, I scratch yours. So our government split our economy into 3 baskets sector by sector, one of them should be in the SM, one in CU...

I think the idea is to kick that can down the road until the separation takes root. The hard brexiters would accept that wording.

TM's negotiating position will introduce a new word: 'voluntary alignment'. That is, the UK will voluntarily follow EU regulations to reduce trade friction. We won't delegate, we just follow - the difference? the EU won't be able to fine us.

you'll need a drill, 7mm drill bit to fit the two M5 rivnuts, 8mm allen key for the crank bolt, a crank puller. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bike-Bicyle-Shimano-Crank-Extractor-Bottom-Bracket-Remover-Removal-Tool-Set/361374447894 The rest comes with the kit. More info here...

the EU has been delegated an increased number of roles: negotiate trade tariff, establish standards in goods, services, energy, communications, the workplace, the environment, foreign aids, VAT, corporation tax, settle disputes between members, subsidies for industries, and common foreign...

I could perhaps agree with that view. A vote for brexit transfers back control from the EU to future dictator PMs of this country. Which is less democratic? the EU parliament or Westminster? The jury is still out, I guess.

because he wears the flak jacket for his PM?

I usually take the headlines of the DT, the Sun and the Express with a pinch of salt. JC is moving off the fence, preparing to inflict defeat on TM's administration when the customs union bill comes to parliament in April. We may see TM toppled after that, JC would then demand a new GE in May.

I don't believe I have an idealistic view of democracy but I think it is the most valuable human development to date and the vote is a key manifestation of it. On the same line of thought, religions, education, equal rights to all sexes, equal rights to immigrants etc are also manifestations oof...

yes, if you can maintain the bike yourself. that will certainly help on hills. on flat roads, everyone is limited by the same 15.5mph assistance speed When you go faster, the motor is powered off by the speed limiter and comes back when you drop back to under the speed limit. It is certainly...

Good morning Gola, your project is a tricky one. In normal use, e-bikes need a little more looking after than normal bikes and if used as a work tool, it has to be looked after even more - mile for mile, bikes are generally less reliable than motorbikes. I would suggest that you choose to buy...

alternatives to 'Mad Max' brexit have been seen here: https://www.ft.com/content/16bf3cfc-17c2-11e8-9376-4a6390addb44 Quote: The Financial Times has seen a secret memo listing the options: Hunger Games Brexit: The version championed by both the so-called soft-Brexiters and Remainers seeking...

I refer to the margin 48/52 as possibly indecisive. If parliament takes the view that the margin was indecisive, then the correct course of action is to vote again. I am arguing against the idea of restricting the right to vote. To me, that will put democracy at risk and embolden dictators...
