In the third millenium Britain sermons are pointless. The most likely reaction is one word, commencing with bo- and ending with -ks. . .

I can understand the EU stance, but I still question its validity. It's tantamount to saying that once someone has arrived, a government cannot change any laws affecting an EU national who has settled here. They are after all not trapped here and can return to their origin, as many indeed have...

In respect of my input, wildly inaccurate on each of both points, illustrating why your judgment is so badly flawed. .

Oh dear, I didn't get a mention, where am I going wrong? :confused: .

I think there's a very big difference between taking a risk with one's own life and taking a risk with another's. I agree with Mike, 12 months custodial is the most likely sentence, which is a little over the usual due to his lack of remorse and initial arrogant stance. He has been his own...

Which is what i've expected throughout this thread. His defence that even with a front brake he would have been unable to stop was obviously silly, since he said he shouted two separate warnings. Clearly he had plenty of time to slow to a safer speed. He's not alone in London in thinking it's...

There's one point on the ECJ where Theresa May is right and the EU are definitely in the wrong. The EU are insisting on their citizens in the UK being subject to the ECJ, but that is nonsense. When we travel to any country we are subject to their laws and courts. Since the EU citizens are...

So two foreign courts instead of just one using our UK judges. :rolleyes: .

He has been cleared on the manslaughter charge but found guilty on the charge of wanton and furious etc. riding. We'll now have to wait for the sentencing announcement. .

I bet that's upset a few! We have the AM driving licence group too, but those cars can't be driven here without complying to all our car law, and certainly not by youngsters. .

There have been changes. Australia is federal of course, but following the State of Victoria supporting a change to EU style 250 watts law, Australia's federal government have adopted it, so its probably national now. China have also adopted identical law to the EU some while ago, but after...

Yes and no is the right answer! On the one hand I break laws, usually for expedience, but often to be helpful, but I would never criticise another for keeping to them. .

No he didn't. After she resigned he agreed that was a sensible thing for her to do. Again the easy course. .

No, only today that was elucidated. EU standards are subject to ECJ judgement and rulings, not to any other country's court. .

Just as it's horses for courses, so it's tactics for circumstances. His tactics are the wisest at present, let the Tories make a mess of the impossible task of leaving the EU without loss, and thus them getting the blame. Meanwhile Jeremy keeps a low profile, ready to pop up on the attack at...

No-one should ever be criticised for obeying the law, since it's just a wise and responsible course. .

Yes, he's being clever, since that upsets the least number of people. If one does nothing, one does nothing wrong. .

While true, a pedelec is treated as a motorcycle currently in N.I., so if using one in UK fashion as a pedelec, the sum of possible charges in the event of an accident where the pedelec hit a person could have serious consequences. The rider would be guilty of using an unregistered and...

That was the equivalent of our UK EAPC law up until April 2015, since that didn't specify how power should be controlled, which left any method open. Your bike was also rated as 200 watts, since that was the old EAPC limit. Powabyke are of course a UK company. Of course that wasn't legal in...

Here's a little story about what a Brexit future could mean in some respects long term for the UK: You've probably never even heard of this place, it's rarely shown on any maps. Situated next to Georgia, the very beautiful country of Abkhazia is an idyllic Black Sea resort, once much favoured...
