  1. Which is why opinions based on unsubstantiated claims don’t carry the weight of opinions based on verifiable facts.
  2. UK businesses are very aware of how much trade they’ve lost and they are certainly aware of increased costs , increased paperwork and delays.
  3. As I was saying: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nassau-county-prosecutors-open-investigation-into-rep-elect-george-santos/4018125/
  4. It’s never been self inflicted, and past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
  5. The damage being done by Brexit is continuing, it’s becoming more apparent and it’s impacting people’s lives. The denial and even the unwillingness of politicians to discuss the matter are becoming less tenable by the day. There are no ‘warm sunlit pastures’, Brexit promises are failing by the day. Sit back and watch it unravel.
  6. Cassidy Hutchinson is precisely the kind of person the GOP needs. 26 years old, taking the stand and telling the truth, regardless of the consequences to herself. She put her country before her Political Party And before her self. She’s an outstanding citizen. Far too good for the traitors, insurrectionists and lackies to America’s enemies that is today’s GOP. The icing on the cake is she’s a millennial, standing up and showing the haters how duty is done.
  7. Perhaps it does, but has no relevance to the problems the UK is facing right now.
  8. This’ll play well to the religious zealots on the SCOTUS. They’ll see a similarity with white smoke coming from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel.
  9. But you aren’t living in the UK. Refer topic at top of the thread
  10. They’ve quoted ONS data. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/excesswintermortalityinenglandandwales/previousReleases
  11. Is there any fragment of a straw you won’t grasp in an attempt to avoid facing the facts surrounding Trump and his administration’s corruption and criminality?
  12. ‘Eternal father strong to save’. Always my most favorite hymn.
  13. More like Musk has exposed the flaws in ‘Brand Musk. The foul air inflating the balloon is leaking out.
  14. ‘The Powers that be’ ‘Puppeteers’ LOL
  15. Online shopping is included in retail. ”1.1 Definition of the retail sector The retail sector includes any business or individual involved with selling products directly to consumers. The retail sector includes shops, department stores, supermarkets, market stalls, door-to-door sales people and internet retailers.” https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN06186/SN06186.pdf
  16. So you are benefiting from Globalization but you want to pretend Globalization isn’t what you are benefiting from. Remarkable mental gymnastics to avoid the truth.
  17. Are you bringing the box + bike or just the box?
  18. I use two Thule 561 Outriders on my CRV. These of course require a roof rack. I don’t like to take the risk of shunting my bikes on the back. Note the 562 Outrider needs to be shortened by about 20cm to give clearance for the tail gate to lift (Latest model CRV)
  19. I frequently take my road bike in and out of Thailand, I’ve never been stopped at customs. Some tips: Airlines have special reduced baggage charges for bicycles (sports equipment). -Thaiairways charges around ฿7000. There are ‘packing requirements’ see airline for specifics. Many airlines do not permit electric bikes to be shipped. Depending on the value of your bike, consider a bike box. I use a ‘Bike Box Alan’, refer below, this provides first rate protection. Consider putting an Apple AirTag (or similar) in your bike bag/box. Add multiple labels with your name and contact details. Don’t be tempted to put non bike items in your bike box, I have been asked by airline check-in staff on two occasions to open the box for inspection. I asked and was told if there are non bike related items in the box they may re-charge at the full excess baggage charge. Contact the airline well in advance of your flight to let them know you are bringing a bike with you to ensure you can load it on the aircraft
  20. And 10.6 million people watched on BBC TV, the highest ever audience for a British Royal Christmas speech. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/dec/26/king-charless-christmas-day-message-breaks-tv-viewing-records
  21. The OP is a post from GB news, they need to be a tad parochial in their coverage in order not to confuse their target audience.
  22. How can Vlad ban a trade that isn’t happening? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/aug/24/britain-imports-no-energy-from-russia-for-first-time-on-record-oil
  23. Note to Brexiteers. You haven’t put a stop to globalization. You’ve simply chosen to be its vassal.
