    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the solution that the mainstream politics come up with is NAFTA which enriches industrialists and make millions of victims in the US rust belt. NAFTA has also put Mexico into a position that it can't afford to upset president Trump. What are you proposing instead of the wall? Mainstream politics...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    these figures come from news agencies such as ABC. The 11 million figure is believable though. The problem is that the South border of the US is 2,000 mile long. If the wall is anything like the one in Jerusalem, it is going to be bigger than the Great Wall of China and can be seen clearly from...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think his estimate is ball park figure. There are about 11 million 'undocumented Mexicans' in the USA. Obama has deported 2.5 millions in 8 years.

    "Trump vows to deport 3 millions Mexicans." I don't think it's going to happen. American economy needs more immigrants, not less.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the vote for Trump has at least concenntrated the mind. If you don't like the Trump presidency then maybe you'll start doubting brexit. The Telegraph, the mouthpiece for 'reasonable brexiters', has this today...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Germany has 5 year pay in rule before you can claim, we choose not to do same. As for EU health tourism, I'd say it's the other way round, some of us go to EU for treatment. Healthcare is better, less queuing in France, Germany, Spain, etc. The truth is Gordon Brown and George Osborne wanted...

    the wide range of assist means that you hardly ever need to change gear on the Big Bear. You just select one that suits your cadence then keep it as long as you like. On hills, you can use the throttle to adapt the assist to the gradient and keep to the exact same speed. It'll climb 8%-9% hills...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    May should be worried - apparently Trump favours bringing all American bank operations in London back to New York, he will relax US regulations to allow them to deal direct with Paris and Frankfurt. Basically shafting London big time.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we actually lose 73. All will know that we need them more than they need us. NAFTA could have been a mitigated solution but with Trump in the white house, that will be over his body or he's lied.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I must say I looked back with regret that I chose pollsters over OG. I believe that the reason brexit and Trump won is deeply rooted in the way democracy is organized. On the long term, brexit is not what most people in this country want and for that reason, we won't leave or will get back in...

    Woosh Bikes

    they are all about the same price. What makes the difference is the motor (£20 for the Big Bear). The Bermuda can be supplied with either 13AH or 15AH (+£60). Yes, I think so too. The Big Bear has excellent acceleration.

    are we talking about bike components here? OK, what do you think the Wisper Torque has that the Big Bear doesn't besides a preload adjust on the fork? I have also thought about improving the forks, the current Woosh model has Suntour XCM with remote lockout, the next model from woosh has RST...

    warwick compares his £350 second hand CDL, which is the cheapest woosh bike, to his Oxygen. As I posted before, that's not as fair as comparing the woosh Sport against his Oxygen. Warwick is on his fourth bike in about a year. He does not use the same yardstick. upgrading the bike components...
