Well done for going and looking and then walking away to mull it over. Have to say looking at this one (wrapped with who knows what underneath/rust/half a GT pack) vs Rich's car, Rich's car is such better value - for the extra 750 quid you get much improved braking, wheels worth around £1k more than the wheels on the other one, bushes done, lowered uprated springs, body upgrades, AEM induction (not cheap) plus the head unit upgrade - getting tonnes more stuff for your money. Must be worth looking at before making a decision?

There was a lot of this in the news recently, charities especially targeting older more vulnerable people to give up savings etc. There was an elderly lady who sold poppies who was hounded to her death. Report them to Ofcom with exact diaries of the calls you receive and the content.

Its not the will of the people, had Leave won by 90% to 10% I might agree with you, but you cannot roll up 16m people into such a phrase when you only had 17m with an opposite view. The Will of the People is a political slogan designed to confuse those that understand the data from the referendum the least. Anyway, to the point in hand, the vote itself was a vote to understand from those that would vote if they wanted to stay or go. At no point were any of use voting on the terms of the exit, it was either in or out, it was never the peoples decision to decide on what the terms of exit looks like. As above, I do not think Parliament should vote against leaving, but the idea of allowing May to dictate constitutional terms is fundamentally wrong in a democracy. This must be a parliamentary debate otherwise you are looking at something like a Putin regime. Boot on the other foot, if May wins the high court challenge, then goes with her terms that mean we still allow freedom of movement, that we have to pay to go into the single market, would you then accept that Parliament have no power to challenge her on that?

No Coldel, the parliament challenge was/is a cynical attempt to try and block Brexit by having the MP's vote against it, it has nothing to do with democracy. And the Law? the law is trying to block democracy. The people have decided what they want, and the minority are trying every trick they can think of to sabotage the will of the people by using Parliament, the Law, the media, and this bi-election to put the skids on. That's why Theresa May was/is trying to use Royal prerogative. If the Majority say Leave the EU, then the Courts have no say, and the Politicians have no say. If either one can stop the will of the people, then it's the system that's broken, definitely not Democracy. Democracy is parliament voting on issues. Democracy are the people voting in people to pass on their word in parliament. I agree we should brexit and trying to block it is ridiculous, however it is flying of the face of democracy to allow the the prime minister to dictate the terms of a constitutional change. That cannot be any more undemocratic.

The point of the vote is that parliament comes to a consensus on exit, it shouldn't be left to a single person to drive the policy decision. Thats kinda how democracy works. If the whole of the Tory party agreed with May then I could possibly see the point of the whip, but they don't and she risks party turmoil if she does when its already quite unstable. And a three line whip has been known to fail in the past, its no guarantee. I got to disagree with you Dan mate, its not fussing, its a genuine concern and why would you not express it? As for hard and fast, yes we need to get out as quickly as possible, but not to the detriment of our position - never saw a great business deal that went well that was rushed through.

I agree get it done, but do it right. The government have no plan, they hadn't even realised what they were attempting to do was actually illegal and are just bumbling about making a public mess of it. If they do nothing t do this right the EU negotiating team will chew them up and spit them out and we all end up in a bad place. Nothing wrong with protesting about that.

And whats wrong with protesting? Just because 17m people said one thing and 16m said another, it doesn't mean the 16m cannot therefore have a view on what a proper Brexit means - they all still exist, are all still pro-UK despite all the over use of the Union Jack you see on Leave propoganda, and still care about our country. We are leaving we get that, but the manner in which we leave is open to ALL to debate we are not living in some communist society. When the Conservatives won the last election do Labour just stop pushing their view on how to run a country and just agree with everything the government says? The only dummies I have actually seen being spat are Leavers who seem to want to circumnavigate the very thing they voted for i.e. sovereign UK parliamentary voting on UK issues. Like it or not, you cannot change a constitution without abiding by the law of the land.

Who knows where Hamilton will be, remember he proper *annoyed Merc in the last race, how about he goes to Red Bull, Verstappen and Vettel to Merc
-
I never said motorsport would be, just that for the fun of it (and the original post was very tongue in cheek) stick all the drivers in the same spec kart made by the same company and send them out. Yes a few might break down but you would certainly see who the racers are.
-
The halfords ones are made exactly the same way as the expensive ones with the layering, just not as custom fit. They will though do the same job if you secure them properly. I had one on my VX220 for 6 months not a problem. Just make sure as ever not to allow crap to get under them as it will rub on the bodywork of the car and scratch it, your car should be clean and spotless before sticking it on.

Lib Dems were on a hiding to nothing in the coalition, they never really had any influence to make decisions, only to try and keep the Tories somewhat moderate. Its like anything when you are a 'deputy' you can advise but you do not make the decisions. My main concern about Heathrow was less about the noise and pollution but more about the increased vehicle traffic in the area, the M4 is a car park most days as it enters the burbs and the M25 is quite famous already for not handling the traffic in that area, the road network around the airport is shocking and the public transport services are either not up to the job or massively overpriced (Heathrow express!).
-
He was certainly playing a political game even though he was quoted as saying he wasn't. He just made a bad assumption around the feeling of brexit being less important than Heathrow. I actually went to a Lib Dem event the other night, Nick Clegg was there speaking with Sarah, she is actually not bad a public speaker for a relative newbie, she will most likely be eaten alive in Parliament unfortunately but Nick Clegg was a force of nature on stage, incredible speaker.

Yes deffo a Greddy front lip -
And would Rosberg even be near the front on the first corner, would have thought he would have qualified much further back!
-
Surely Verstappen would fancy his chances with the shackles off!
-
Yes, I get that too, but we get so much willy waving in F1, would be good to see them go flat out against each other for one race. Given all things equal, for instance going through a qualifying session and subsequent short race in karts where lets face it mechanical failures are much less likely to happen, how would the top 5 come out, in order?
-
Yeah totally get its about the full package, but would be nice to at least throw some actual races into the whole 'who is the best driver' debate as we really do not know (as can be seen above). One race where all are in roughly the same cars would be fantastic viewing and a great opportunity for the real 'racers' on the grid to go to town.

I voted last night. Have seen plenty of political gatherings over the last few weeks around the area, was out playing football at Richmond Green with my little Alfie the other morning and Zac was there with an expensive support set up (huge speakers, temporary stage built etc.) drumming up support for anti-heathrow. To be fair, makes no sense to build there instead of Gatwick but all candidates felt that. In the referendum two thirds of the constituency voted remain, that certainly counted against him. Also we do remember being quite dismayed at how nasty he turned in the Mayoral election, he did himself no favours with his behaviour in that election either. He actually is not a bad guy, he just unfortunately didn't appreciate the strength of feeling against Brexit in the area and just hung his hopes on his Heathrow stance.

Ultimately electric cars have to be taxed at some point I would have thought, the free VED is there to convince people to take the risk and move early. As soon as they are more mainstream that revenue stream into government coffers has to be replaced and sure it will be something like a congestion tax of which both petrol and electric are both guilty of.
-
I reckon F1 should have a race in the calendar where they stick all the drivers in identical karts and let them go at it - I bet it would be awesome!

Holy moley thats shocking!
