    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think Davis is doing the right thing to establish the legal basis for the bill. We can't just blindly accept the bill without due dilligence. I would have thought the EU is better prepared for this.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that's why our position is clear: the EU team's hands are tied by their agreed agenda. Let's just wait for the EU27 member countries that have close economic ties with the UK start to get jitters. Our strategy is fairly clear: agree on the legal basis for the bill. Then all the 3 major topics...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think that's the case. We are legally obliged to pay membership fee until March 2019. However, there are a lot of long term programs that will run until 2020, 2022 and even beyond for which the EU reckon we are committed to funding, so they want us to agree to all of them. They also want...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that is naive. Trade is integral to international relations. Refusing to talk will inevitably prolong uncertainty - until EU investors start to protest against their own governments, then the EU will have to climb down.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    On this, our position is to pay what is owed, there isn't any quibble with this principle, but the EU seems to want to load on the bill extraneous items that we have not signed up to. No treaty we signed extends our liabilities beyond the point we leave. I approve of our government approach in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    tariffs and barriers are usually reciprocal. If we have less access to their market then they have less access to ours. If the EU delays a free trade deal, then the USA, Canada, China, Mexico, South Korea and Japan will benefit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    free trade isn't perks. it will happen naturally, through the paths of least resistance or of most efficiency. Both sides have nothing to gain to artificially block a free trade deal. remainers like to see the situation that way. I don't. The EU, or more precisely those countries who have close...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the UK side is right to ask for legal justification or clarification of each item that the EU wants paying.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the refusal of talking about future trading relationship at the moment is illogical. It makes the EU unnecessarily easy to criticise.

    yes. you will have to carry on business as usual unless you can find alternative sources with less tariff and paperwork.

    yes, rather. Time for a change at the top. I wonder what direction the conservative party will take if Philip Hammond takes over the PM job.

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    yes, please check also the voltage before charging and after charging. power consumption may have increased because you get less fit. I have seen some cases where people put on weight because the electric bike helps too much. I see them after a year or two and notice the weight gain.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we are at a natural disadvantage because most politicians working in the EU can speak English and none of our ministers can speak well enough a foreign language. They can spy on us.

    JRM was only a rich peasant and a city dealer before the brexit referendum. He reminds me of a character in Poldark.

    maybe. I am skeptical. Find me a well educated, intelligent toff minister, and able to speak fluently a foreign language in recent years

    Hello Spence, for 20 miles on rough canal paths, I'd agree with d8veh that a conversion is probably the best solution. From my bikes, I would suggest the Woosh Krieger or if you are heavy, the Big Bear. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?krieger http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear I also have a fullsus...
