    Brexit, for once some facts.

    another wonderful story of the joy this is bringing to families in the UK currently. "My friend has been here for 30 years- she is French and was married to a British man - they have children born here. She was refused citizenship - this is what she had to provide - 30 years of proof of...

    ok... so what's getting cheaper as a result of this mess? Tunnocks tea cakes have gone up by 15p... so I'm really not happy now (that's over an 17% rise!)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm just picking up on this, because I'm starting to realise why you think some of the professional (expert) predictions might be over inflated (excuse the pun) Your suggesting the 3% increase based on this simple sum looking at the weather £. However the retail price of stuff is effected by a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The good news just keeps flowing doesn't it. "Retail sales in December dropped 1.9% from the previous month, according to official figures. Sales across all main retail sectors declined, with the heaviest falls coming at non-food stores, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. It was...

    Why doesn't Pedelecs do more E-Bike reviews?

    Yes, but then you'd also have to state the weight of all the different size options. Its a nonsense. State the weight of the bike sold, so a customer knows what they are buying. You don't state the price with the mudguards off etc etc. So why state the weight un complete. Then customers can...

    Why doesn't Pedelecs do more E-Bike reviews?

    Why would you weigh a bike without some of its parts??

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wouldn't say it makes you racist, I'd say it makes you naive possibly. Do you really think there isn't the money in the UK to solve our problems currently? Its just spent on other things. Saving the money thats paid in EU membership and cutting foreign aid "might" put some money back into...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed.... and just as Brexit isn't the cause, it's also not the solution. It's a handy distraction. Blaming the EU / Immigrants has been the easy option for certain sections of society. By winning the referendum, they are about to find out their scapegoat isn't the culprit.

    but, but we voted for it... make it happen... etc etc. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-latest-news-germany-angela-merkel-theresa-may-speech-senior-economic-advisor-michael-fuchs-a7533076.html?cmpid=facebook-post Next year I'll be proposing a referendum to ask if the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That assumes that the half that think its rubbish even know what it does. Personally I think its safe to say most don't have a clue what the Single Market does. I sell bikes to over 400 shops and most of them voted leave. Not a single one I've spoken to understands the single market and its...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ok, here is a question. I wonder is someone with more time than me cares to work out the answer. We've benefited from free trade with the EU now for a number of years. We've paid in membership of this club. So my question, because I've not seen this answered anywhere is: How much have we...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    He did sound reasonable, because he's been placed in a position where he can't loose. The UK is going to make the EU look brilliant there is no way the EU can loose over the next 2-5 years in this negotiation. Here is a little insight into how yesterday was viewed across Europe...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's my point... nothing has changed, but already since June last year a lot of the EU citizens who are now being forced to apply for UK citizenship are having their applications refused. There are a number of groups for this portion of the UK population who weren't allowed a vote in the...

    its not unknown origin... I know them. Its nothing to do with him being a student. In fact its caused by him not being a student at the time of application. He's born in the UK, has lived here all his life, and has been turned down for UK residence. This is nothing to do with being or not...

    Have you read what I put!!! He's not getting turned down for university...he's been told he can't have permanent residency in the UK. Slightly more important than a uni place.

    Your faith in politicians keeping promises is nice to see. As someone who wants to remain, the fact they are promising we'll leave actually fills me with confidence we'll remain. Perhaps my experience of politician's promises is different to yours :)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    oh great, so the fact you're saying the public wasn't aware of the facts before the referendum is a reason to ignore the fact? That really isn't a good way to run anything, let alone a country. and even though the vote was about the EU. It wasn't about the EEA, or the Customs Union was...
