    Brexit, for once some facts.

    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...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they are just examples of extrapolation, OT. If the premise is to require that voters satisfies one particular condition, in this instance, a level of comprehension of the issue they are about to vote on, then it's just the thin edge of wedge of an undemocratic state. You just as well go back to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Let's say, for argument sake, that parliament passes a law to compel voters to understand the issue before the actual vote. Why would the same treatment not be extended to other qualities of human development beside the political comprehension: their opinion, their religious belief, their social...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    but this goes against the idea of what democracy should be and human rights. If I don't understand brexit the same way as you, who would decide who is less right and thus denied a vote on the subject?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if you follow this line of logic, you would come to the conclusion that unless people understand the issue, then they shouldn't vote. Extrapolating this kind of logic further, if you don't have a degree, then you should be happy with your rubbish job or if you are a woman, then you should accept...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they were Gordon Brown's doing. Our banks paid so much in taxes that GB ignored what they were up to. He allowed RBS takeover of Natwest then Amro for example. The derivative market (aka the state sponsored London casino) grew out of all proportions, house purchase lending went through the roof...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it is not a red herring. Self reliance for example could well be extrapolated to a smaller government, less taxes on workers. Small businesses' worries about regulations can be extrapolated to excessive EU bureaucracy. Self rule is translated to take back control. These are some of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I disagree. As much as I dislike that man's politics, his view is endorsed by millions of voters. How can you change the view of millions of voters that taxes are robbery? That's the key question for brexit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it seems that the battle for brexit is shifting now to the economy. JRM's camp wants straightforward deregulation, claiming that the EU employs thousands of technocrats to create ever more rules, making more things illegal (eg Dyson's more powerful vacuum cleaners) costing businesses a lot of...

    What to do, what to do.

    we sell the BPM kits mostly in rear wheels (laced to 26", 650B and 700C rims). The reason that the factory built Big Bear has the motor at the front is down to customers cannot be relied on to check their spokes. The BPM can deliver a huge torque with the 20A controller, if the spokes are...

    Wireless battery charging for e-Bikes

    wireless charging is a great way to provide free electricity to commuters. There is no direct contact with the customers' bikes, all the charger has to do is to identify the receiving circuit and start pumping magnetic juice until the receiver says enough...

    ZYCLE ebike on Indiegogo

    I usually find the claims made on indiegogo tend to be extreme (38 miles for the 6.6AH battery). I claim 35 miles for my 20" Gale with its 13AH battery. It's not that it's not doable, but what the battery does not give, you have to pedal for it. The power of most of current 20" wheeled bikes are...
