POLL: Do you think Brexit is a success or failure?
Chomper Higgot replied to Scott's topic in World News
Your fixation on the nationality of other members is slipping out again. The only qualification that matters is he’s a member of the forum, as a member he is permitted to comment. -
Electric Car Sales at record high in the UK

Good for them, hybrids are extremely efficient compared with a standard internal combustion vehicle. -

You are confusing use of resources with pollution and I doubt very much you have any real interest in addressing the equitable distribution of resources. Explain what pollution is created in energy transmission? -

You are in full flow whataboutary. Refer to the top of the tread for the subject that triggered your hating on Biden. -

That’s like two passengers on a train heading in the same direction but unaware that a) both are moving b) where they are headed. It’s all relative. -

The UK went into full self harming mode. -

Regardless of race, when people vote for a party and that party wins an election the voters have reasonable expectation that the party they voted for will govern. Keep a straight face while you tell me this farce isn’t losing the Republicans support. -

It’s all the kind of stuff you can find in those rightwing echo chambers. -

Nonsense. Democrat Left Agenda, is right of anything you’re used to in NZ or UK. The Democrat Affordable Care Act (Tagged Obama Care) is hugely popular, and just one example of the public wanting more social programs. As stated above, many Republican voters are very pleased to receive Government support but object to others receiving it.- 105 replies

6 to 5. Expats are 100% more likely to have escaped the mess post Brexit is. -
I borrowed a friends bike and Garmin Radar to give it a try, I found it more of a distraction than a help. To me the biggest danger is taking your eyes off the road ahead, with this in mind I start my ‘Polar’ head unit as I leave town and switch it off again when I arrive back at the town boundary. I do not want to be distracted when I’m traffic. Strava tells me I rode just over 14,000km last year, 11,000 of which were in Thailand. I plan my routes to avoid traffic, very seldom do I ride on main or busy roads and when riding in town I go at a very slow pace. In over 20 years of cycling in Thailand I’ve had four accidents, once knocked off by a dog, brought down by motorbike cutting in front of me and two ‘pile up’ accidents while racing. That’s comparable with my accident rate in Europe. Choose quiet roads, keep your eyes and ears open and of course wear a helmet.

Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?

I’m up for it but I suspect whataboutary, dead cats and semantics from Brexiteers might take the line. -

Before messing with the Good Friday Agreement, the UK will await instruction from Washington as to what is permissible. -

But the UK didn’t have to leave the EU to issue ‘Blue Passports’. Arguably the only tangible BREXIT benefit was not actually a BREXIT benefit. -

Perhaps some of the £350,000,000 per week should have arrived on the BREXIT bus by now. Put that towards wage increases to keep NHS staff in work rather than having to strike to get their pay to keep pace with inflation. Brexiteers will of course support this, increased wages for working people was a claimed BREXIT bonus. Of course nobody really expected working people to get a pay ride out of a Tory Government without fighting for it. Next up: We can’t see the benefits of Brexit, they’ve been wiped out by strikes. ‘Jam tomorrow’, ‘warm sunlight uplands’ just over the horizon. Meanwhile UK food price inflation hits 13.3%, of course workers are demanding wage rises that keep up with inflation, they have families to feed, clothe and provide a home for. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/04/record-133-uk-food-inflation-raises-fears-of-another-difficult-year
