    Brexit, for once some facts.

    flud, two things that make the exchange rate of the Pound moving up or down: balance of international payments and economic sentiment. Pre announcement of the referendum, the current account was already negative but less than -3%, the economic sentiment was that the UK did better than all other...

    David Davis lives in cloud cookoo land. If there is a way out of this mess, somebody would have posted it here.

    it's not political beliefs - there may be a case for 'misconduct in public office'. http://churchcourtchambers.co.uk/should-vote-leave-be-prosecuted-over-its-referendum-propaganda-an-article-by-anthony-eskander/

    BBS02 500w versus BBS01 350w

    the no load RPM is proportional to the voltage. The 78RPM is where the motor produces maximum power for 36V BBS01 and BBS02, 96RPM for the 48V BBS02. The no load RPM is about 30% higher but is not useful to pedal over 78/96 RPM because the motor produces less and less torque at higher RPM. More...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    early days, Tillson. the day of reckoning is the next general election. I hope the tories are not going to form the next government. Which other party is going to take the UK out if not the tories?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/brexitjustice Since I posted this moning, the fighting funds have increased from £79,710 to £90,115 Raised of £100,000 target. It will hit £100,000 sometime tomorrow. It seems that there are plenty of backers for legal action against Johnson, Gove and Leadsom.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    polls are unreliable - we all know that, especially when the margin is small. They however help to check my argument before spouting it out on the forum. As long as brexiters still have no clue which brexit it's going to be, it is reasonable to speculate that it may not happen at all.

    some polls are better than no poll, Tillson.

    Mike, democracy is when politicians like Johnson, Gove, Leadsom are held to account for their claims and can be brought to justice. http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/brexitjustice

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    brexiters, where is your good news? apparently, if there was a second referendum, Wales would vote to remain according to a recent ITV poll. http://www.itv.com/news/wales/2016-07-05/poll-shows-welsh-voters-now-support-eu-membership/ as long as brexiters avoid to acknowledge that 16 millions...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's unfortunate that most un-informed people voted for brexit, but we won't have the luxury to reverse the result until the next general election. The best solution now is for May to negociate a package deal ready for 2020 general election. I have the feeling that die hard brexiters won't like...

    BBSHD for Specialized crosstrail sport disc

    In my experience, 36V 25A BBS02 is about the most power you can put on a derailleur bike without much of the downside. High speed 48V kits simply accentuate chainline issues.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    PM May: “I’ve already said I won’t be triggering Article 50 until I think we have a United Kingdom approach and objectives for the negotiations. I think it’s important we establish that before we trigger Article 50.” it seems that May sets the bar quite high. I honestly can't see David Davis can...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    are you sure? your leaders still don't have a date nor a plan. It seems that every time David Davis says something, the media immediately adds that he's wrong and that thing can't be done.
