    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I thought DD is doing OK and this round of negotiation is going well. Don't forget, the tories have to negotiate within their own party first before DD could venture out of his shell. As far as border posts in NI, I don't think it's going to happen. First, we'll have a transition period, then a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that may be so, and it's not a subsidy because the government is a shareholder, like it is in RBS. The Quebec government is free to sell its shares in Bombardier later and make a profit. This is why JC wants to be out of the single market so he can re-nationalize the rail, utilities and cancel...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Quebec government bought Cn $1bn in B-shares of Bombardier stock, half in 2016 and the rest in 2017, saving it from possible bankruptcy. The investment does not have a direct influence on the cost base of Bombardier. This is very different from either buying some of their planes at inflated...

    There was public money invested in Bombardier but it may not be fair to translate the investment into subsidies.

    Paul's got his bike over a week ago. He wanted a matt black. I only got a few to gauge the reception but people seem to like it, I'll get more of them in the spring.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Macron rounds off his big Europe speech by saying he can't imagine Britain not wanting to stay in EU after he's done reforming it. He was long winded (he spoke for about 50 minutes) but if you want to watch him delivering his vision of the EU...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, that is very likely. The truth is, it has always come down to tax and spend. If people have to choose between having nationalized rail, electricity, water and paying less taxes, what do you think they are going to choose? Me, I choose nationalized rail, electricity and water but I reckon...

    Pedal resistance

    yes, if you compare its resistance to that of a GXP bottom bracket that I fit to the Karoo and Rio MTB. An ordinary BB has two ballbearings, CD motors' BB has 5. The extra ballbearings cause a noticeable resistance.

    she only moved it passed 2 o'clock, did not push it forward. I think it is much less than that. That crank arm in the video weighs about 250grs and is 175mm long. The centre of gravity of the crank arm is about 90mm from the bottom bracket. at 2 o'clock, the torque generated by gravity is...

    do you think that TM can keep her job if inflation outstrips wages for another year? The Brits may want to have cake and eat it but not to put up with a government that reduces their purchasing power. As Hammond said, they did not vote to get poorer.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We are not going to be bankrupted by brexit. Paul Krugman and most scholars reckon brexit will cost the UK about 2% in GDP. Hard brexit is dead, the general consensus is we are going to stay very close to the EU. It may surprise you that I agree with JC's view, we may have to leave the single...

    Keegan started from the established facts and ended with the wrong conclusion. Parts of his assertions are true enough, leaving the exchange rate mechanism did embolden the Eurosceptics in the Conservative party and Britain was having almost the best of both European worlds, via numerous...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    don't be so hasty. brexit is causing problems for both our countries but at the same time, forces both sides of the channel to re-think what we really, really want for the future. Apparently, Macro is going to suggest a new idea, that the UK can be an associate member if it so wanted. A kind of...

    on a lighter note, how about this? In a lively speech, Thornberry told delegates Johnson had “not been happy lately” in the cabinet. “Apparently he’s sick of being blamed for the way Brexit is going and all the broken promises of the leave campaign,” she said. “I’m sorry – what? Who does he...

    attitude differs even among hospital staff. I spent a fair number of days this year in hospital and was cared for by people from all over the world. There is no doubt that the management appreciates how lucky they are to retain their staff, nevermind they are indigenous or not.
