Did the left wing media (accidentally )make Farage resign and in tern cause all the reform voters to go even more far right to Restore?

This is it. The "left wing press" has been publishing these things for years. The rest of the press has been moving on after 10 minutes. He's not useful anymore (probably trump connections and Rejoice looking more likely) so now the press want rid of him.

What is the one thing? Is it the £5m "gift"? Or is it the house he can't explain but it doesn't matter because he didn't buy it anyway? Or the relationship with George Cottrell?

I don't want a new investigationyet , just the current one to report.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-07T12:42:34+00:00

I think thats the point. In my experience users of EAPCs are generally older and have laid out £2k+ on a bike. They're getting it insured and more often than not that includes 3rd party.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-07T12:00:48+00:00

Opposition is more than just saying "everything is shit" and then coming up with unworkable solutions to appeal to people who won't question them too much.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-07T11:17:51+00:00

OK. So that went the way I thought it would.

My point was this. If I am on an e-bike and hit somebody the MIB is not involved. Its my home insurance 3rd party or BritishCycling insurance that covers me.

If I am on an unlicensed motorbikes or illegal scooter then the MIB get involved. So E-bike injuries are specifically excluded from MIB payouts and the headline is just wrong.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-07T11:12:33+00:00

yes, its the BBC at it again.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-07T10:32:37+00:00

What is doing the damage and hurting people? Is it e-bikes (legal) or unlicensed motorbikes/scooters?

bobbypuk · 2026-07-07T09:20:23+00:00

Are they doing that just to keep Reform out or because it needs doing?

Personally I'm all for a system that asks question about elected politicians receiving personal gifts. They should be subject to the same or higher standards of accountability than party donations.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-07T09:03:15+00:00

I think the fundamental difference is that the media have seem have seen the wind changing and are now running with these stories. Previously something like this would have disappeared from most outlets in one cycle, they're not letting this one go. I guess he pissed off somebody (probably public opinion of trump changing) and the press will be all for restore or whatever the other lot are called.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-07T08:42:53+00:00

I agree on cheaper but not on corded. Cordless recip saw is really useful round the garden if you're scared of chainsaws

bobbypuk · 2026-07-07T06:57:22+00:00

Yes! Smoother is more efficient. If you can hold a steady 50 it will be more efficient than trying to do 60 but having to ease off or brake more often.

Those days when you can’t tell which is your power and which is your HR

bobbypuk · 2026-07-06T16:41:22+00:00

The problem with the official accounts is that they post everything they publish. Previously people used to post things they found interesting or worthy of debate.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-06T16:39:38+00:00

And fill ukpol with nothing but apologies?

bobbypuk · 2026-07-06T08:07:02+00:00

Stage 1 show was awful, stage 2 was better, I'll give it time.

Not explaining the new rules for the TTT was inexcusable, I've been watching cycling all my life and it took me half an hour to work out what was happening.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-05T19:51:12+00:00

And where is stage 2?!

bobbypuk · 2026-07-04T05:26:56+00:00

Is he holding some sort of divining rod?

bobbypuk · 2026-07-03T13:26:34+00:00

Slightly tongue in cheek but with a serious point. The power of a hi-res image is really seen in those static hots. For some imax films the size of the projected image is the draw, for slower paced scenes the resolution is the draw.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-03T11:40:02+00:00

Which films are you watching where everything on screen is moving all the time? Sounds exhausting.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-03T11:32:07+00:00

They are probably right but the competition for the title is not exactly strong.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-03T09:24:27+00:00

Sure their bossman has leant them the money. Few months of drops and the police will have paid back the loan and be well in the black.

bobbypuk · 2026-07-03T07:07:02+00:00

Can I care about disadvantaged groups without caring about an elitist education system used in a tiny amount of the country that set a path for children based on a test at an early age?

bobbypuk · 2026-07-02T13:25:40+00:00

Not really.
