    is an eBike lazy?

    That depends on the configuration. On the Woosh Karoo (a low assist bike) for example, there are 6 assist levels and a '0' level where the throttle is active. That's when you pedal unassisted. The throttle flattens hills for you. Otherwise, you ride a normal bike, including going over legal...

    Even if another referendum reverses the last, I doubt that the margin will be big enough to be convincing. The only way is to remove the tories from power for a generation.

    OG, your comment: 'I would have to overcome the financial advantage to the employer that a UK citizen would have.' It is usually the case for most immigrants from outside the EU coming here on a working visa. Why shouldn't it apply to all immigrants? Often we concentrate on human issues and...

    Following market logic, if the locals don't want to do it, then the wages are too low perhaps? The point is, there are winners and losers. One could say that FOM benefits employers disproportionately - taxing the latter makes sense to me. The losers are usually those not in employment because...

    their healthcare bill is paid for by UK government now and will be after brexit. On the principle of local levy for immigrant/migrant workers, I think the EU could do well looking into this closely. Think of it as a 'prélèvement de solidarité'.

    I think that the levy should really be a kind of precept for local authorities. The amount should be adapted to reduce local unemployment.
