    you have got it completely wrong. She has come off the fence like JC has. Her speech is good. I liked it. The country will make good use of it. Let's watch the exchange rate tomorrow.

    that bunch numbers about 40-60 MPs. The problem is the other 600 MPs are too lazy to face them down.

    that and the monoculture are transforming our planet and not for the better. Give me an example of an enlightened very large country and I will shut up.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    most people just don't have the time nor the energy to take part in political debates leave alone putting themselves up for public offices. That creates opportunities for fundamentalists to take charge. People like Verhofstadt. Remainers can go back to the creation of the UK referendum party...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the world is a different place now. I think if the EU fundamentalists get what they want (a USE), then we may become an even bigger bully boy than the USA.

    No. But I don't like the idea of a USA of E.

    brexit is not a bad idea. We are getting out of the US of E (which does not exist yet, but will after brexit).

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    on the contrary. Each side has its own circle or circles to square. On the EU side, how to make a good trade deal look like a bad deal, bad enough to discourage net contributors to want to exit the club. On the UK side, how to reconcile the hard and soft options. What is needed is a good...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Mr Barnier said today: “From our side, I repeat once again that an agreement is the best outcome. It is in our common interest. But if we want a deal, time is of the essence.” Pressurizing the UK to come up with money plays straight into the arguments of hard brexiters. Time is the best...

    I like both but thought the Zefals look meaner while the SKS look more robust.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's kind of strange to watch Mr Trump at the UN making threats of wiping out 25 million North Koreans and claiming he'd do it for peace at the same time. As far as I can see, North Korea did sign the nuclear no proliferation treaty, so should suffer some punishment but they can pull out of that...

    Only one mount on each side. If you don't use them for the rear rack, then by all means, use them for normal mudguards.

    excellent piede in the online FT this morning: https://www.ft.com/content/a6b1f948-9d8e-11e7-9a86-4d5a475ba4c5 "Revolutionaries invariably underestimate transition costs. Maybe if you have a blank slate, being out of the EU is better than being in it. But the calculation changes once you’ve...

    you meant the Telegraph? brexit is brought about by the dreamers but has to be delivered by the remainer MPs. There lies the problem.
