Agreed, and for me the price we pay for our nuclear weapon ranking is too high as well. I think we should join the overwhelming majority of countries and be more safe without them. .

If the statistics were derived from percentages, yes! :D .

Yes it is sectarian, the "Glorious Twelth". This Link tells all. As for your other question, percentages aren't really mathematics, they are politician's convenient alternative to mathematics, an aid to bamboozle the gullible public. .

Like Danidl I don't drink alcohol, so I'll have to let this slur on London pass. I should mention in passing though that we have a number of microbreweries in London supplying particular small numbers of pubs, so there's probably some very good beers available here. That said, I've heard...

We can't really assess that, it depends on how much we are prepared to give up. We are tied to two types of payment: 1) Support for programs that have a cost to completion, for example the Galileo satellite GPS system. We are liable to pay for that, currently 2024. That will also have an...

But they may have to risk that, since they depend on Northern Ireland's DUP. And Northern Ireland has a lot to lose if we hard Brexit the EU, both directly, and also indirectly as a result of any UK economic deterioration. If we go downhill, the cash that flows into Northern Ireland will soon...

Once this government gets past the bluffing, I don't think it has the courage to hard Brexit. Their lack of an adequate majority, the weakness of Theresa May and the true remainer status of the vast majority of the MPs in all parties will make it easier for them to back away from walking out...

I can only assume that it's due to it being a devolved issue for N.I., the DfT not forthcoming on the reason. The EAPC regulations do apply in Scotland and Wales, but not in the Isle of Man which is a Crown dependancy. However, on the 10th November 2003, the EU's Two and Three Wheeler Type...

I've long warned that our EAPC law doesn't apply in Northern Ireland, there only the EU regulations have had force. That meant the use of throttles on pedelecs when they were legal in the rest of the UK has been illegal there ever since 10th November 2003. .

This is something I've explained previously a few times, and it dates back to the aftermath of World War 2. From 1945 all across Europe we cycled, there were no cars since they'd been requisitioned or destroyed during the war, the cars we made had to be exported to pay our war debts and we were...

Both Media Studies and Journalism have degrees, but there is no degree in Web Forum contribution. Strange, it often takes the form of journalism or authorship. .

Once again emphasises that the very close referendum result should not have been acted on. It was to all intentions a draw, and the similarly close election result has emphasised that fact. The best action now would be to ask for the article 50 notice to be rescinded, with a promise to the...

Basically the difference is that the Tour de France is about finding the best rider, and there's effort in both rules and rider conduct to ensure the machine doesn't get in the way. That's why they can have spare bikes on following cars and use as many as they need. There's a strict set of...

Didn't watch earlier but thanks for the highlights tip. I'll record that and watch later. I see also the highlights are repeated tomorrow at 1pm. .

Maybe already arrived and the number off the system now. .

Of course it will, Trump has been saying all along that he wants the USA making and exporting more and buying less from elsewhere. He's got no intention of increasing what he buys from outside, and that includes the UK. .

There's that myth again! The Great in Great Britain refers to the greater area with Scotland combined as a result of another act of union. So Britain is still Great, unless Scotland leaves. Strange how one union is fine but another rejected. And as for making Britain great again in status...

Since it's the European Union, the ECJ's valuable overriding function is consistency of humane treatment across the union. Now why would anyone fall asleep during that simple 18 word sentence? .

A short and final period, since Frankfurt and Paris will have taken the services business. .

It's back to the racism card Dave, keeping out the foreigners. Thats been the underlying factor all along, despite all the protestations of innocence from Brexiters. What's happening now exposes that fact. .
