Brexit - Part 1
22 Nov 2018

Deedoodle once again lowers the tone of the debate. But, to stick to facts; Conservatives needed about 43,000 votes for its 318 seats Labour about 49,000 votes per seat for its 262 seats The Liberals 198,000 votes per seat for its 12 seats The SNP about 28,000 votes per seat 35 seats The DUP about 29,000 votes per seat for its 10 seats Sinn Fein about 34,000 votes for its 7 seats ...

No, they are peoples homes. They live there. Breath. Enjoy life. Raise children.

So, you buy online. OK. Who maintaines it or fixes it? Online again? Or you need advice on something that is not quite right? Online again? Well, it won't be Bob will it as he will not be open!

Lycra louts about.

Vehicle Excise Duty: This statement is to be found on Wiki and clearly indicates the logic of charges; Thus before 2017 it was as follows: The pre-2017 VED structure based on CO 2 bands was introduced in 2001 when average UK new car emissions ratings were 178 gCO 2 /km. The Band A threshold of 100 gCO 2 /km below which cars pay no VED was introduced in 2003 when average new car ...

As usual Deedoodle resorts to slurs and innuendo to make a point. What is obvious, as I stated, was that overtaking was simply not possible based on the available video evidence.  Road to twisty, too narrow and no adequate visibilty. His claim about the speed of vehicles is irrelevant. Speed limits everywhere relate to maximum speeds only and say nothing about minimum speeds. Cycles are ...

They do that  by making decisions. They do not have to consult anyone. Margaret Swift is wrong in the following assertions: " Remember, they have no qualifications for the job and are there to do what we want!" ...

@Margaret Swift : you say that "cyclists have no clear idea of where they can and cannot cycle". actually most do. they can cycle on cycle paths and the can cycle on all roads except motorways and any other (very few) where they are ban ned eg in some tunnels. I would also point out that JD2017 referred to cyclists preparing for races: eg they are riding not racing.  I think we should all adopt ...

I think you are on ypour own there.

John Clatworthy says that the Tories have made "no reduction in the Education Budget". Correct. They have not. But this is mis-information . All children receive a set amount to attend their school and it is this which pays for their education. It has not increased. But costs have increased: eg NI costs, pension costs, energy, books and materials, salaries and so on. Thus the budget now buys ...
