You're being disingenuous. You know as well as I do that he created New Labour to get elected. He was indeed the leader of the Labour party, but that was not the government. He was elected and governed under the title of New Labour, never at any time under only the Labour title. Your...

Agreed, I was only speaking in volume terms, not the effects. My point was that Germany will suffer very little, in the 2008 recession they shrugged off a loss equal to their trade with the UK with ease, hence their confidence on the issue of Brexit. .

No, regardless of who voted them in, it was a New Labour government with pseudo tory policies, having little in common with traditional labour aims. Very true. .

Tony Blair said himself that he was New Labour, insisting it was different from Labour. Since many couldn't separate the effects of his policies from the Conservative ones, he was clearly right. It was a widespread complaint in those years that there was nothing to choose between the two main...

Hardly, considering the number of times the ECJ has brought justice for our citizens with our government opposing them receiving that right. With Brexit ultimately removing the ECJ's influence, clearly that avenue to justice is threatened, leaving us exposed to proven uncaring, unjust...

That's where the ECJ comes in, it's commonsense to have a court independent of both parties deciding, which is what the EU wants us to accept.

How about we pay them the 90 billions and in return they pay us the red bus 350 millions a week for the NHS for five years. ;) :D .

Either way the same outcome, since Germany can just walk away from our business if necessary. I still think the UK negotiating stance is to deliberately create difficulty at present in order to appear tough with the EU. Then trying to present a relatively soft Brexit to our electorate as a...

That is actually funny! We're the ones losing access to 27, each of them only losing access to just one. Since the most affected, Germany, has already said they can absorb the total loss of our business and have proved they could in the 2008 recession, I can't see the EU countries being in...

But none of this justifies moving to discussing a trade deal before this issue is settled. .

But the EU is doing that insisting on the status of citizens in other countries be dealt with before discussing trade. That's the equivalent human issue. .

I don't agree, the UK is trying to have a situation where they can juggle the completely unrelated issue of settlements against trade access. That is what is illogical, it's tantamount to wanting a blackmail option and the EU are right to dismiss that disingenuous approach. The settlement...

It certainly was, more motorbike like and a shock to anyone unsuspecting going to move it as if it were a bicycle. The company's slogan always amused me: Powabyke - The Innovators They stuck with the same basic design for a whole decade, while most other e-bikes made huge design progress...

Posted or pasted? ;) .

Indeed. The one on this link was in later years and had a front wheel motor. Earlier ones had a rear wheel motor like the one on this link. .

That article is wrong in many ways, for example inferring that N.I. have deliberately chosen to classify pedelecs as motorcycles. We know of course that it was only the lack of a sitting assembly that brought about this situation, it wasn't in any way intentional. And they are wrong and out of...

That I don't know, the London Royal Parks have their own police force which I haven't followed closely. .

That means you have plenty of charge left Mary. If the meter was reading correctly it would still be showing at least three of the five LEDs and possibly four. You may get four or more of today's trips. However, lithium batteries liked to be charged regularly rather than completely emptied...

That's how I read it, and it's similar to the way the police regarded our legal confusion for a decade. In our case the law only permitted motors to have a 200 watt rating, but most pedelecs in use were 250 watts. There was only ever one serious attempt to prosecute and that was after an...

Carry on as he's doing now, ignoring it in the hope that it will go away or someone else solves it. He's a wise old bird, Jeremy, motto probably "Why do something when you don't have to?". .
