Personally I don't think anyone in any position of power trying to re-write the rule book, and I'm not arguing with anything you've said above. However I would add that I think not only did "remain" expect to win, "leave" expected to loose, so they could carry on the fight. The result caught...

.... and now add Nissan to the list. Currently suspended all investment plans, whilst they work out if the UK will continue to have access to the single market. What a mess. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/nissan-boss-issues-uk-investment-warning-after-brexit-vote-a7174346.html

You've used a great example to disprove even your own point. In the case of a jury, in the UK.... its not a simply majority that wins rule. It has to be 10–2 (10–1 if only eleven jurors remain) is needed for a verdict; failure to reach this may lead to a retrial. So in the case of this...

No, see that's not how democracy works... What you're describing is direct democracy, which is not what we've got. What we have, because its more efficient and proven to be better for a host of reasons is representative democracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_democracy The...

can we establish that what the public want isn't always whats best for them, or the country as a whole? Its like offering us a referendum on reducing tax, 90% of people would be in favour, and then where would we be? Just because the majority want it, doesn't mean it should happen.

Flud... have you not seen? The UK voted to leave the EU. How can you claim nothing has changed??? That is a big change and its had major consequences, and we're all now trying to plan and deal with the decision. We've just cut all marketing for one of our brands in an attempt to stem the...

The vote has happened.... that is enough to cause the problems, everything is now resetting around the concerns about what this means for the UK. The fact that the expectations from everyone is gloomy should show you what a bad decision this is.

Yes, and do you know why confidence has been destroyed...... BY BREXIT. Just the concern about it happening has caused this, what do you think will happen if it actually happens, and we loose things like the banking passport? The london finance sector contributes over 11% of the income to the...

You are seriously suggesting that the drop in the £ and the € against every other major world currency since Brexit is not because of Brexit?

I'd also argue that Brexit is very relevant to eBikes, it effects lots of things in the supply chain, which could / will have a direct influence on eBikes over the next 12/18 months. and its not politics really - its economics.

Its also possible Halfords got some "special" packs that are intentionally missing some bits so they can advertise them cheaper. Lots of brands do special things for big chains like this, so they can be seen to discount without upsetting the smaller shops, because its actually a different product.

I can't believe some of the things I've been reading. Some people really do not seem to understand what's going on. More than once I've been told "we've not even left the EU yet...so can these negative things that are happening be anything to do with Brexit?" Its unbelievable, that they put...

The Bank of England (BoE) has voted to cut interest rated to a record 0.25%. This is the first rate cut in seven years. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has voted to: • Cut interest rates to 0.25% • Purchase £10 billion of corporate bonds • Purchase £60 billion of government debt • The...

Who gets the other half of the cheese?

I'm actually happy with this. Clearly the desire to murder people in the name of an imaginary friend, is a mental health issue. So if we start calling it a mental health issue it removes all the "glory" from the action and therefore defeats the point. People with a need to fight over...

This is the key bit... BENEFITS THEM..... not the UK, not the UK consumers, we'd be tied into a hugely expensive commitment to buy electricity from them. This money could be much better invested on more sustainable technology, not committing us to supporting a French / Chinese investment. If it...

This is classic pro nuclear lobby style facts.... and not my experience of both industries. Renewing a wind turbine even it does need doing after 20 year, is dead easy and its components can be recycled, the land / sea returned to its exact state prior to the turbine being installed. If it is...

can't beat that... but my Nan was killed by a kettle that hit her whilst sat in a beer garden, so we may need to have words ;)

I'm from Cheltenham, so pretty much everyone's parents I grew up with had parents who were "civil servants" working for GCHQ. Gareth Williams, (no relation) who was the famous Spy in a bag body, was actually a member of the cycling club in the town that my dad was chairman of at the time.

currently in work, so not got time today. Will put a few bullet points down tonight if I get a moment. But I did have to sign the official secrets act, so I can't share all my concerns I'm afraid.
