    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's a valid speculation if you buy in the idea that the EU seeks to punish us for leaving. If this is the case, the hard brexiters would be totally vindicated and no deal is indeed better than any deal leave alone a bad deal.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    EFTA or special trade deal like with Canada, there is no other route to stay close to the EU and open up to the rest of the world. In that sense, EFTA is the sensible and practical route although some say it's too close to the old regime.

    I see JC as a cat with 9 lives. An unrealistic dreamer who got lucky and over promoted.

    the brexit debate has educated a few on how much our livelihood, our fish, our beaches depends on our neighbours'

    we need polls that say 60+% like the EFTA deal for parliament to accept.

    Rear hub kits

    . Are you in a hurry? I am quite low on stock at the moment, nearly out of motor wheels. on 27.5, I only have BPM and silver SWX02. On 700C, only BPM. the next batch of motor wheels arrive middle of October. The Q128H kit on the test bike is black on 26" rim. HL batteries are drop in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Corbyn pragmatically bought votes, safe in the knowledge that he will probably never have to deliver in his lifetime, TM was stupid trying to take the moral high ground which has never worked in British GEs by trying to solve an unsolvable problem, that of an ageing population. BTW, TM did...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    people / voters who gravitate towards a practical solution, the centre politics, libdems, blairites, europhile tories and those who don't vote.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we are just practical. These issues will one day be relevant to all Europeans but for now, only those exposed to Russia and the Med. There is a sea between us and the EU, metaphorically and geographically.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we don't fit with the EU's current agenda, besides some tariff free trade. We have little to say that the majority of the E27 would agree with. I give some examples: we don't want to take in refugees, we don't want an EU army that would reduce influence of NATO or compete against us on arm...

    what influence? our voice in the EU is typically of the loud mouths' and you know very well whom I am not naming.

    What's the Q128C like at low speeds?

    I wouldn't want to contradict d8veh because I have the 201RPM Q128H running at 48V but I would say this: don't buy a kit on its ability of climbing hills alone. As far as I know, you will have to buy the Q128C or Q128H from bmsbattery. That means from China with all the difficulty when you need...

    the changes are important, if you buy something from German Ebay, you may have problems returning the goods, getting a refund and claiming back the VAT.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it would be much easier if you could take an example (such as landing slots that KD suggested) where what TM said is incorrect. There are two aspects to influence of the ECJ: jurisdiction and primacy. At the moment, you can take anyone (eg parking his car in your driveway) or company (eg you...

    his remark is political scoring. TM has been clear on this all along. After brexit, the ECJ is no longer the highest court for us.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I actually welcome an EU army. For too long, Europe is piggy in the middle, between two warring nuclear super powers. I don't feel safe because both have had volatile presidents with fingers on the button. I also welcome refugees, fiscal union and universal income. But I don't think we are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if any consolation, only 29% voters trust the tories. this is because even far fewer people trust labour and/or JC.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that was the right choice then, the EEC suited us better. The world moves on, EFTA is now a better overall choice for our current situation. A lot of voters are concerned with refugees, the EU army, fiscal union, universal income that the EU is dealing with. We are not ready for any of it. Ask...

    you may be wrong here OG. https://www.brugesgroup.com/alternatives-to-the-eu/42-issues/alternatives-to-the-eu/61-71-said-they-would-prefer-britain-to-leave-the-eu-and-join-efta it seems that if there is another referendum, more voters would choose EFTA over the EU.

    What's the Q128C like at low speeds?

    the advantage of a CD kit on steep gradients is gearing. You fit a BCD adapter and change the supplied 46T for a 40T ring to the BBS02B 25A, you can improve the climb by about 12%.
