  1. Try running a business without a road transport system, staff with no education, unreliable power supplies or snail place internet.
  2. Itself a Brexit fallacy.
  3. I’ll put my money on Mickey Mouse over Pinocchio.
  4. Germany -0.5% UK +0.3% Delta 0.8% And Germany already well ahead on post pandemic recovery.
  5. How does that improve Brexit?
  6. When the GOP steps away from Trump, MAGA and authoritarianism, it’s going to need to go back to traditional Republican policies and values. Liz Cheney has demonstrated those values remain. It’s now up to Republican voters to decide how long they want to allow their party to continue on the path to self destruction before bring the party back to where it belongs.
  7. Investing in infrastructure and people produces a return. No American business makes any profit without reliance on Federal and State Investment in infrastructure and people.
  8. Biden has spent the money on ‘Build Back Better’ Americans across the nation are benefiting from this investment in America. Building back better is a very good reason for an increase in Federal spending, it’s called ‘investment’. And of course, Republicans want a bit of this hugely popular program: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/09/09/politics/biden-republicans-infrastructure-law/index.html
  9. Better to have a progressive tax code. America's hyper wealthy aren’t going anywhere and they don’t need tax breaks,
  10. I think we most of us understand the IRS have one hand tied behind their back do they don’t go after the ultra rich.
  11. More cojones than anyone in the Republican Party.. When the history of Trump’s attack on American Democracy is written, Cheney is not going to be listed with the insurrectionists nor with their enablers.
  12. Conservative is not a purely political term. Though religious conservatives have largely aligned themselves with political conservatives and visa versa.
  13. I wonder what they say about the impossibility of virgins giving birth.
  14. Bok Bok Bike in Bangkok were stocking belt drives about a year ago. Also Canyon have a few belt drive models. You can find ‘Bok Bok Bike’ on Facebook.
  15. Can you give an example of a liberal legislator passing laws targeting the rights, freedoms and life choices of people?
  16. There’s a few stops on the way that are of more interest.
  17. It’s known as grievance politics, there is nothing that can’t be the subject of rightwing grievance.
  18. So Transgender people are passing laws against anti-Transgender advocates?
  19. Senior ‘male’ bicycle races have been ‘open’ to all riders since the 1930s. It’s through ‘Open category’ racing that Beryl Burton achieved her Division and National ‘Open’ championships and ‘Open’ National records.
  20. Perhaps British Cycling wished to undertake a considered review based on a consultation. Perhaps doing so ensures British Cycling wished to ensure they meet their commitments on inclusion and there’s the possibility that British Cycling wished to minimize the possibility of their ruling being overturned by any prospective legal challenge. There is the distinct possibility that the issues around this are a bit more complex than is being assumed by those who believe they have simple answers for this societal change.
  21. Can you explain how British Cycling have failed to address your concerns?
  22. This issue has been dealt with by British Cycling, it will be dealt with by other sports governing bodies. There’s been a societal change, sports governing bodies are catching up with that change. British Cycling is leading the way, well done British Cycling for responding in a considered and informed manner.
  23. Here’s a clue to the topic of discussion: “British Cycling to ban transgender women from competing in elite female category” I found that posted somewhere near the top of the thread.
