    Brexit, for once some facts.

    When can we establish that the "brexiters' viewpoint" is simply wrong and can be ignored? We have had the top job and I think we've had it more than 11% of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_European_Commission Roy Jenkins was President - 5 January 1977 19 January 1981...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So what you're saying is that at the heart of the vote was ignorance of our relationship with the EU, well imagine my surprise at that. ah, the joy of being able to show you're wrong again... with just a 5 second google search. We get a 13% share of the vote, so actually more than our 11%...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What, like you can't directly choose the PM, or the Secretary of State for Health, or Defense, or or or... because they are chosen by the people you elect to take these decisions for you. Same as you elect your MEP to take these decisions for you. We live in a system of parliamentary...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    OH MY ACTUAL GOD.... seriously, this is scary, that you actual believe this and have so little understanding of the actual way things work. You can clearly type, so type things into Google and do some research. Ignorance is fine, its something you can solve. Have a check who you MEP is and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    1. There is some ECJ, and there is also the EFTA Court, so you'd just be replacing the ECJ with another court this one based in Luxembourg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFTA_Court So this is a nonsense benefit. 2. Those controls exist currently with our relationship with the EU. Actually...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    no no no, you have me all wrong. I think EFTA would be better than 'no deal' but not as good as full membership of the EU. What I'm trying to work out is why you think that we could be members of EFTA and not sign up to their principles and standards. I'd be happy to, but I can't see how you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I didn't mean why do you bother to post. What I meant was why say this? What makes you think this?? The problem with this whole EU debate is people thinking their opinion is relevant, to the facts. So many people voted on emotion, or opinion... when in many cases their emotions are based...

    honestly cutting a slot in it is the easiest way, it takes seconds to do and will mean you can get bearings out easily forever more. The new models have slots already cut in them at the factory.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You don't think? What makes you think your opinion is in anyway qualified to comment or reassure? Also why is it a special case??.... its a land border between the EU / UK. The fact you, I, the UK think its special is irrelevant. It'll be up to the EU, its their border with us, just as much...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ok, so you mixed up the names, but you also mixed up that we were members. We're not. As you say we'd have to apply, and there is some discussion as to whether they would have us or not. I think Iceland seem keen, the Swiss not so much. Plus you do realise the 4 EFTA members are in Schengen...

    KTM Macina Lycon - Rear suspension

    Its not the full bearing he's trying to get out, so the extractor won't work. He's collapsed the bearing, so its just the outer race that is left pressed in. So the only ways to get it out are 1) cut a slot in the back of the rocker, the step doesn't need to be complete to do its job. You...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Really...? Because the guys at EFTA don't seem to agree with you. http://www.efta.int/about-efta/the-efta-states I think you're about 30 years out of date with your information. The United Kingdom was a co-founder of EFTA in 1960, but ceased to be a member upon joining the European Union...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ok, but again, factually incorrect. We're currently members of the EU. We are not a member of the EFTA. So we'd have to apply to get access to the EEA via EFTA membership It has 4 members... Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. So we'd have to apply, once we've left the EU. We...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it is illogical. What is the point of having a border in some places and not others. Consistency is the only the only logical way of doing anything legal. You're talking about people, but what about goods? Surely I can just get KTM's shipped to Ireland and then drive and get them...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How.... can someone explain to me how this can happen??? Ireland is the EU, so in single market. Yes? So goods and people can flow into Ireland with no checks. So with no border with NI, they can flow into the UK. So how can we spend millions having a border at Dover to give the impression...

    I've worked extensively with the Asian community in the north west, and as you've said yourself... "The groups are " brown" Muslims of Asian,Pakistani and around 98% Muslim ( a few Seiks) In no way do I assume this behaviour normal for any culture" So you have to acknowledge, the problem is the...

    As with anything on a bike, they can last for anything between 30 seconds and about 100 years, depending on what you're doing with them.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You do realise there are men / women from that culture and religion, who don't think that. Therefore it can't be cultural or religious... they are just evil nut jobs and you thinking its to do with their culture or religion is I'm afraid basically ignorant at best, racist at worst.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the point is that white british people aren't exactly guilt free when it comes to raping and grooming kids, so yes if you try to single out a race for being "the problem" then that is by very definition racist. I remember a certain Welsh rock star being jailed a couple of years ago for...
