There is a difference in that you can vote to remove the idiots in Westminster. You have no say in the appointment of Juncker and the other cronies.

Are you being serious? What is democratic about forcing freedom of movement onto a country and removing its ability to determine who can come to work / live here? Please explain.

I disagree, the people that are screaming from the rooftops are the people that voted for the losing side in the elections and they lack the maturity to accept a majority decision. It is a dangerous precedent to set that cannot be allowed to succeedt because therein lies the road to anarchy. If...

Trump won the election on the basis of the Electoral College system that they have in the USA. The president has never been elected on the basis of the popular vote. One could argue that the Electoral College system is flawed but to argue it after the event shows poor judgement. Also, I wonder...

It is truly ironic that the so called liberal left are the ones on the streets demonstrating against a democratically elected president while simultaneously calling the other side fascists, you couldn't make it up. That a Guardian journalist should tweet about needing "a presidential...

The mainstream media should take a long look at their bias and twisted reporting. That a journalist (Monisha Rajesh) from the Guardian should tweet "its time for a presidential assassination" is truly appalling and shows that it is the so called liberal left that are the true fascists. The...

The answer is "It depends". I struggle to think that the recent attempt jack up the price of Marmite was anything other than profiteering. The product is made in the UK from ingredients sourced in the UK so the fall in the exchange rate would have minimal impact on the production costs. For...

I bought a set of the Record carving chisels and am now steadily replacing them with Ashley Iles tools.

I had been thinking about just venting mine outside and not bothering with baffles and sound insulation merely a pipe from exhaust port out of a window.

You assume that buying departments in other stores get a better deal,(which may or may not be true) the fact is that if a competing store chain decide to discount a stock item and reduce their margins, JL will match that price reduction but at the suppliers expense. You say they "agree a...

Absolutely, no one is forced to do business with JL and my clients decided that they would not supply them. I dont agree with the comment that their policy "is fair" because if you think about it, it isn't., What JL are doing is agreeing a price when it buys but also retain the right to...

Given how the BBC (hypocrites that they are) adopts a moral stance when the issue of tax avoidance arises you may be surprised to learn that the BBC effectively forced a lot of presenters to become self employed and work through intermediary service companies. This was done so the BBC did not...

A few years ago I seem to recall that Wickes caused outrage when they suggested that their suppliers pay a six figure "contribution" in order to stay on their approved supplier list. ASDA and others lost public support when it became clear that they were using milk as a loss leader but forcing...

If you ever see the standard JL supply agreement you would know that they will never go bust, but they may run out of companies prepared to be shafted to supply them. Their terms are brutal and as well as squeezing on price they also:- deduct 2% as a contribution to marketing costs (based on...

Unless it is your own design, referring to anything produced from a pattern that is in the public domain as "original" is a risk. Why not just say it is "hand crafted" and promote that aspect?

Ooooh regular intervals please.

Sensible advice, if you do a bit of research on sailing boat stability curves you will see that it is a complex issue with many variables. Boat design is a complex area and the consequences of getting it wrong could be fatal.

Have a look at this web site http://www.selway-fisher.com If you go to the manuals section, there are a number of manuals explain the various boat building techniques (stitch & tape, strip plank). There are also a huge range of designs for self build boats of all shapes and sizes.

That is what I use mine for

Well worth the money.
