    If you voted IN then here's a second chance for common sense

    The pledge was to have a referendum on it... which they have done. They also pledged to honour the result... but if you read though the manifesto, (which I did the other day because I was stuck in Munich airport for 8 hours with wifi and not much else).... if they do stick to the pledge they...

    If you voted IN then here's a second chance for common sense

    classic logic from the "leave" side that has been demonstrated right thoughout this campain. The statement about it being essentially an opinion pole isn't an opinion, its a constitutional fact. "One possibility being floated by some pro-E.U. campaigners is a vote in the House of Commons...

    If you voted IN then here's a second chance for common sense

    time won't tell. you can't make something constitutionally powerful that isn't by just waiting. If its acted upon, it'll be because of a fear of seeming to ignore half the population... but guess what, either way they'll be ignoring half the population won't they. Read this yesterday and it...

    my god you are cynical. I'm sure all the bike shop staff and brands in the UK will be super happy to hear how well we're all doing profiteering of the misery of our customers. You don't see any flash cars at bike events, because we all come to the trade shows in out helicopters :)

    Have you seen whats happened to the value of the £/€ vs the $. All parts and most frames are bought in the Far East and paid for in $. So anything that has anything to do with the Far East is about to get a lot more expensive, and that's even before we discover what the plan is with regard...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    well its done.... I've had an ace day with my colleagues from across Europe and they all think we'd be crackers to leave. He's my view of Europe from this evening. I for one will be sad if I wake up and i'm not longer a part of the EU. I loved James Corden's words on his program, and I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think you might be getting your knickers in a twist... what are you asking me for evidence of? All i did was suggest that just because something is popular doesn't make it right. If you want another example, how about homophobia.... its pretty common still... doesn't mean its right, socially...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it wasn't a jump. I was picking an example of something that people can find popular at a certain point in time, but looking back, or from the outside is crazy. It was an example, the fact you linked them to UKIP is your doing ;)

    Some more fact checking for you fact fans ;) This serious attempt to fact-check every claim on both sides is a good effort: https://medium.com/im-trying-to-fact-check-brexit If you don't read it all, at least read the conclusion: "At every single turn, I found that the Leave campaign’s...

    and this is something we as a country should be deeply ashamed of! I'm sure the Nazi party was popular in Germany at one point. Being popular doesn't mean you are either right, or acceptable.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the extra people aren't at fault though are they, they are contributing to society and paying tax. The fact that the government isn't increasing services in line with demand is what's at fault. If you have a problem with 300,000 extra people, personally I'd be attempting to stop people who...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not dictating anything... .but surely you can see the lack of logic that is being displayed when I offer an expert in sight from within the cycle industry about the negative impacts on the UK that brexit could have, and I share concerns from European export managers and I get told I should...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm qualified to comment because I've worked in and with companies that trade within / across the EU and globally. I speak to experts (export manager at firms who turn over millions in global trade) and I've also done a lot of work an been effected by a whole raft of European law that's had a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've just had an interesting email from one of the Euro suppliers we work with (Not KTM)... and their head of export said this (because basically the whole cycle industry has no idea what to do about 2017 prices, or distribution models currently: "I hope so too as I am under the impression that...

    Gray, you need to watch this, and I mean to the end. There are lots of facts from an impartial professional expert (so expert and professional, he's a professor) It explains what can and will happen. I did post it earlier, but you've clearly missed it, or not watched it if you think no ones...
