Do you think they'd want you to? I think if there was a EU army it would be made up from the individual national armies, much like the UN peace keeping force is. I don't suspect they'll be looking at the eBike industry in the UK for their sign up.

Yes, but yet again you're assuming the EU is there representing the UK... its not. The UK are there as themselves & we're also part of the EU, so we're actually there twice! We're not excluded because we're members of the EU. So what if the EU has foreign policy and army?? Where is the harm...

What??? This is a list of the countries in the UN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_United_Nations#Current_members You'll not find the EU on there, because they don't represent us on the global level. We don't need to leave the EU to have a voice on the global level. What...

I also see the EU as a lot more than a trade agreement deal, its about lasting and meaningful peace between nations, its about common environmental, legal and other standards that make it fair positive etc etc. Its also about me easily being able to retire to Italy, my nieces and nephews being...

Missed this bit..... I'm afraid they are. Its a divorce and a new relationship. Our new relationship with the EU will be decided by the EU and then we decide if we will accept it or not. The EU is its citizens, so they are very much part of this, and Brexit as a whole. They are just a part...

Firstly, you have to acknowledge the EU is its members, so it has to do everything it can for the good of its members as a whole. Regarding the statement, "The EU is a force for good" I'm not sure I'd wholeheartedly sign up that. I'd argue that in most cases its probably a better force than...

Yes, but we're not talking about countries, you were saying about compatriots and since 1992, we've all been EU citizens as a result of the Maastricht Treaty.

Us leaving is punishment, they don't need to do anything.... or are you seriously expecting us to be able to leave the club and keep all the benefits? You're also assuming that "remainers" don't consider EU citizen's their compatriots. Personally I don't view a line in the sand anywhere to...

I'm shocked you even have to ask this question? I think everyone on here, and certainly in remain groups and meetings I've been to, there has been a consistent understanding from way way before the referendum that the EU as a club, can only continue to survive if Brexit is seen to be bad for...

This is another of the myths leavers seem to want to believe. Our Parliament didn't vote to enable the referendum. They voted on this basis. The crucial part of the act that was voted upon is highlighted nicely in yellow for you. It was only during the run up to the referendum that the...

Just F.Y.I 27.5+ is a wheel size... there isn't such thing as 26+ 27.5+ tyres have the same external diameter as the 29" wheel. Here's a handy guide. http://www.mbr.co.uk/news/complete-guide-to-wheelsizes-26in-650b-650b-29in-29in-327096 650b is the same as 27.5.

Can't speak for the others but I for one am happy fighting the battle currently. Just because A50 has been triggered doesn't mean we're leaving. Its the start of the battle. Now all we have to do is give parliament enough confidence that the will of the people is not to leave the EU, and...

and you STILL can't get your head around the fact it isn't half the country. https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_large/public/thumbnails/image/2016/11/05/11/brexit-chart.jpg it's just over 1/4

Well I've just completed my normal sunday morning of a ride and then a trip to Morrisons for a weekly shop whilst its still quiet. EVERYTHING had gone up, literally everything we put in our trolley had gone up by 10-25%. I knew yesterday was supposed to be "price hike day" on all our bills...

Isn't this supposed to be a positive for the UK? I and others can give you many reasons why it won't be, but you're supposed to be selling the great brexit dream to us. This "bigger picture" ... what is it? Bullet points would be good, so I can research them and come back happy that I've...

So lets look at your point. UK goods going to be more expensive in the EU, so either a) the EU customers will buy from an EU supplier, so the UK business will loose out. or b) the UK supplier will think their EU market is bigger than the UK market and will move to the EU, and simply sell...

As Flecc has said, this logic has been repeated over and over again for months, but doesn't make any sense. These are the two key facts. What those exports are as a proportion of all exports—by this measure about 46% of the UK’s exports go to other EU countries, while somewhere between 8-17%...

Its a sad day up here. We've known and ridden with Mike for getting on for 20 years now, he will be missed.

Well Farage has a plan B... what about you? If Brexit turns out to be a disaster, Nigel Farage will “go and live abroad, I’ll go and live somewhere else.” The former UKIP leader made the pledge on his LBC radio show on Monday evening, but told a Remain voting caller that it won’t happen as...
