The EU will continue to get the blame until we actually exit. Then the blame will be switched to what they'll term the rotten deal we got from the EU. That will last for at least ten more years. After all, they are still blaming Gordon Brown for the state of the economy, 16 years after he...

Another vote for direct wiring. I connect everything that way, computers, smart TV, satellite and Freeview/Freetime recorders. Great connection speeds, no dropouts and totally secure. .

I've indeed posted both aspects in respect of Kalkhoffs and 50cycles, negatives and positives, just as you've done. .

And more negativity from you, in response to a mention that 50cycles weren't advertising in this site, on 17th September 2016 you posted this: "Is it because it's too embarrassing having a presence on the forum at the moment? I guess I feel sort of sorry for them because the problem isn't...

I just had another scan on this subject and found this that you posted in July 2014: "One of the advantages of the Kalkhoff is that if it needs a software update, 50cycles will loan you the device to do it, which gives you a chance to change another setting." (link) Really Dave, how could you...

In response to your original thread on this Dave, I went through your last 200 posts. The only vague association I could find was in the 50cycles new store manager thread were you posted a response to another member, not mentioning 50cycles. At a stretch it might be considered sardonic and one...

Just like we in the UK drive on the right side of the road and most of the others drive on the wrong side. :) .

I do think it's possible, since the fragmention into several parties is being bolstered by disillusionment with the traditional parties. With the country so split at present in a number of different ways, and little prospect of unity while the long drawn out Brexit process continues, a Grand...

Perhaps we are closer to consensus politics than you suspect. We've already had the one coalition government and the tories only had a very marginal win this time and are working their way out of favour. Labour and the Liberals are down in strength, the SNP much stronger, with UKIP and the...

But as remainers we knew the present, the immediate future, the aims of the EU and where failures were most likely, all based on existing information. We also knew we had a say in those matters. The only independence information the leavers had was from 44 years ago, the rest just built on...

That's simply not true, the remainers were voting to keep what we already had, so knew exactly what they were voting for. Leavers were optimistically voting for an unknown. .

As I explained earlier, that's how democracy operates, it operates with opposition and I am one of that opposition. I repeat, democracy without opposition is not democracy, it's dictatorship. As for the United States of Europe, that's hardly the current issue. I am much more concerned with...

That's a very reasonable definition of democracy as it operates, how it's always operated for 4000 years. I'm only puzzled as to why you think this strongly voiced opposition is unusual in this instance. .

Yes, it is worrying and there have already been some isolated attacks and one murder. It's a major reason why I'm so annoyed at David Cameron calling the referendum, since it was entirely predictable how divisive it would be. What's done is done, but I and millions of others won't stop trying...

That's how democracy has always operated! :rolleyes: If you don't believe me, have a look in at any Prime Ministers Question Time! Even the original Greek democracy was no different 4000 years ago. Really Zlatan, you live in a sort of dream world where everything should operate according to...

But these are a legitimate part of democracy, not accepting the opposing view and hoping to eventually reverse it. Without opposition there is no democracy, just permissive dictatorship. .

No, No, No, we absolutely have that right, and it's a duty. That is why every democratic ruling government has an elected opposition, to fight and continue the fight to correct what they see as wrong. Any parliament without an opposition is a dictatorship. I think you and indeed Tillson are...

That's fundamental to democracy, often described as the least bad system of governance. Once again, no. In democracy we never have to concede with something we disagree with. We are always free to fight for reversal of decisions. The notion that we should all pull together is the stuff of...

No. See this reply. I never accept wrong decisions. .

No it isn't, not accepting merely means trying to get a decision reversed by interim campaigning, and if that fails, by vote at the general election. Protest meetings and marches are time honoured ways of campaigning and are part of the democratic process. Blind subservient acceptance of...
