    AKW, the G510.1000 has 150/170/210 RPM for 43V/48V/60V and would make an ideal e-bike. It will of course need to be registered and insured.

    Mr Trump is crude but I'd say, he has cojones. I reckon the US Justice Department will sort out the mess in a few days. Nobody has the answer to how to maintain the free movement of people in a world where terrorism has the potential to strike in any place. Let him try extreme vetting for a week...

    The onus is still on us to find a country that we can deport the person to and to ensure that his/her family is not split as a consequence. Furthermore, we have to provide a mean for him/her to support their family in the new country. The ECB supports mutualisation of eurozone sovereign debts...

    it's not the technology, it's something we all cherish, that we do not expect to be asked to prove our identity in our normal daily life.

    In reply to your comments: 1. We don't deport many in the first place. If we have to check 350,000 additional residents a year, 1.5 millions for the full 4 year cycle, we need an awful lot more border agency staff and option out of the UN HR conventions. 2. Populous countries like China, India...

    KD, There are only two critical deals that we should have immediately after brexit, first with the EU (that's the must have) and the other with the USA. There is no reason to assume that either is going to be impossible. The fall back position with the EU is customs union that has never been...

    Two things caught my eye this Sunday morning: Don with the wind: And this letter from a Guardian reader: for if and when we rejoin the EU, those problems would have been solved and we would have to replace the Pound with the Euro.

    the cars sector will be prioritized by both EU and UK, a deal on that is possible without resorting to compensate car companies for import duty. The lamb is a bit more complicated. NZ has a quota of 280,000 tonnes a year duty free. Half of it goes to the UK. We buy cheap lamb from NZ and sell...

    Tom, you picked up an innocent remark in #10009 in reply to KTM (asking me if I support FOM with Australia) and because I don't, I insulted Australians. Hello? Does anyone else agree with uncle Tom? 'You don't suffer fools gladly'. Is this the best argument you can put up?

    yes, I agree they are here to work but as non-tariff barriers, we will be able to introduce stronger employment legislation to protect workers. The EU do not have at the moment sufficient mechanism to stop exploitative employment. Freedom of movement and service move workers from countries...

    It was Nick Hewer who presented that program wasn't it? So typical of some youths today. I posted a few days ago a video made by BBC2 newsnight team about the direction of democracy (as predicted in Plato's book). The longer democracy rules, the more democratic society becomes. With it, the...
