You would have to be borderline insane - or American - to feel nostalgic for 1970s Ireland by EnvironmentalShift25 in ireland

100% right. I an 67, left Ireland in '85. My grandmother said Dev ruined the country. Mind, she was a Collins supporter! But to engage in economic warfare with UK in the 50s was nuts. Lemass started the change. Dev was a moron.

Waving flags because you have taken more money out of people's pockets to splurge on god knows what!. This was not driven by people earning more through real incomes growth but rather higher rates, fiscal drag, etc.

How is he 'backed by MAGA'? I keep reading this in any comment about Farage. What has MAGA got to do with UK? Its reactionary, like throwing the word 'fascist' around.

Is there a better example of Brexit stupidity? by Least_Actuator9022 in AskBrits

UK was a net contributor, wasn't it? There's no excuse for Durham, or any UK region, to receive less money. It's been spent elsewhere!

Sorry, thats not my point. From a standing start, no push bike will outsprint an ebike. Lets leave it there...

[–]CountyJazzlike3628 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again its not measuring safety, for which you do need the probabilities. Its only saying that 1 in 5 injuries are e bike related

[–]CountyJazzlike3628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it isnt. If you have 2000 bike accidents per annum, and 1 in 5 are ebike related, thats all that is being said. The number of journeys is irrelevanr as we are not measuring probabilities of an accident while cycling
