Even The Clitheroe Kid is ahead of Johnson. They have just started an episode on Radio 4 Extra called The Day I Told The Truth. :)

(Didn’t like it when first broadcast, let alone now. Like radio archaeology.)

The BBC needs to be very careful. They are spouting utter truth on the radio and spewing even more truth on the television and the Tories don’t like it. They’ve put their best man on the case, Nadine Dorries.

Sunday Times report:

Boris Johnson prepares mass clearout to save own skin
PM’s fury at Downing Street staff as he launches string of ‘red meat’ policies

Boris Johnson is planning a mass clearout of No 10 and a series of populist announcements to save his tottering premiership.

Despite issuing a humiliating apology to MPs over the Downing Street parties on Wednesday, the prime minister is refusing to take responsibility for the crisis and in meetings last week questioned why his team had not protected him.

He complained to aides: “How has all this been allowed to happen? How has it come to this? How haven’t you sorted this out?”

He doesn't understand the concept of responsibility. Blames everyone but himself. Total disaster zone of a person.

`Adding: New slogan for Johnson - Save Own Skin

Every thing and every person that has contact with him, no matter how fleeting, is corrupted in some way. He has a mental disorder which prevents him from understanding the concept of responsibility.

heard same this AM on radio, boris "wants to change the culture at nr 10" (our hero to the rescue). its a national IQ test. electorate bought what he said about brexit, if they buy this we've properly entered a surreal parallel world.

Maybe not every person, Douglas Ross, leader of the Scottish Tories resigned his position as a Junior Minister over the Barnard Castle affair. At the time Downing Street described him as "a nobody".
Last week, with the support of 27 of his 31 Tory MSPs he called for Johnson to resign.
Cue Rees-Mogg to describe him as a "lightweight" while bigging up Alister Jack, the Secretary of State for Scotland that hardly anyone up here has seen or heard of.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a thick idiotic twat that, due to accident of birth, has benefited from a good education. If I send my 2Kg lump hammer to Eaton, it won’t make it anymore intelligent.

Basically, what I’m saying is, don’t listen to him

On manufacturing, we have to choose our own specialism, may that be AI or pharma or jet engines or micro satellites. We can't be world beating at everything.
But we do need to be world beating with a larger range of products than at present

It's ok for the 6 million Danes to sell lots of bacon, pork, and a bit of HiFi, the 10 million Swedes to sell IKEA worldwide and Volvo vehicles, even the 17 million Dutch sell a far wider wide of manufactured and agricultural products than us.

We have the consumption demands of 68 millions to support, so if we don't do something urgently to widen our product range and it's appeal, it will continue to be downhill all the way.

Then it will just be tourism for Theme Park Britain, with low grade hospitality jobs and dressing up as historic fakes to entertain the tourists.

But he's right of course, as with all of us it's his parents fault.

They brought us into the world and brought us up to be what we are. And all the rest of society are complicit in that.

Why should we take the blame for what they've done?

Like Boris, we are all deserving of the utmost sympathy for our sad plight which was none of our doing.

Maybe OG needs to come in here? After all, Philip Larkin neatly summed up parents' contribution to our development and upbringing.

Which version did you buy? with or without throttle?
brake sensors are only available with the throttle version of the TSDZ2. If you install the throttle then you should install the sensored brake levers, just in case the throttle gets jammed during operation.

He was right of course:

They **** you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were ****** up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.


I've succeeded in not having any kids, but am failing in getting out early.

Yes, got brake levers and throttle but wanted to use one of brake switches as a kill cord.. If kids fall over, throttle hits something then a kill cord would be better than brake switch.??? (kids trials bikes all have kill cords) Thought somebody might do one that plugs directly to display module..?? Otherwise it's converting a brake lever/switch.??

Got it from a German supplier, cheaper than advertised in China??? £380 including 400wh battery, delivery and claimed all taxes paid??? (expecting a begging letter off customs tho)
Had to ream bottom bracket out slightly to get it in but otherwise all easy.. Tried it without pedals or gear shift (had to put a different one on) pulls great. Dragged my lardy ass up road in top so with gears working and well under half my weight should go well.. Hopefully.
And battery is on large size but smallest I could find???
