    I am not surprised. Before the vote, it was easy to sell may brexit myths like brexit will deliver 'flexibility and speed to decisions'. Now even brexiters don't know what they want for the economy leave alone how to get there. One thing becomes clearer: brexit is about anti-immigration and...

    I am fed up seeing the Pound steadily going down the proverbial drain. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion. We should call off brexit for now and leave it to the next parliament.

    Pedelec community support for DIY battery pack replacements
