Bikes and net neutrality

Edit: From a quick look at the 'speaking notes' an argument is being made to refer the decision to the CJEU, and I think a judgment will follow next week.

It's started late as I think there were protests outside

Quite an interesting thread on road haulage

Lots of people (like Jacob Rees-Mogg) can't wait to throw away red tape that applies to tax, environment, workforce, and state aid

The EU, however, is unlikely to let us do that - which they discussed last week

That's very good.

On another note, the Telegraph hits a new low. We can't reveal our Brexit impact analysis because it might weaken our hand; however, pissing off the people we are negotiating with is fine.

I'd be quite happy if people at work resigned for being late to meetings. There's no excuse.

Wow, some people really do have standards

So, Stormy Daniels supposedly issued this statement

But also seems to be denying that she issued it... All a bit mysterious

JK: "Did you sign this letter that was released today?"
SD: “Doesn't look like my signature, does it."
JK: “Do you know where it came from? Do you have any idea?”
SD: “I do not.”

I wonder what the truth might be?

Whatever, she does seem to have changed her signature

Interesting take on the impact of the McCabe 'resignation'

https://twitter.com/HoarseWisperer/status/958166228392120320

So, they discussed this on the R4 news, and got Iain Duncan Smith on to offer his opinion. Such a waste of time.

On the subject of ‘scenarios’

The plot thickens (or they have just read our discussions...)

He's fired McCabe apparently.

This was (apparently) Trump's answer to the climate change question

She can say she's not going to take it, and people like Mogg and Johnson can fire up the populists by throwing public hissy fits. But we all know it will be accepted (in the same way that we have followed every other ruling by the EU during this process).

The EU have published their directives for the transition deal

EU General Affairs Council adopts guidelines for #Brexit negotiations within 2 min: status quo transition without institutional representation, lasting from #Brexit date to 31 December 2020

http://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/32504/xt21004-ad01re02en18.pdf

And (from that document) here's an alternative take on our idea of 'take back control'

During the transition period, and in line with the European Council guidelines of 29 April 2017, the United Kingdom should remain bound by the obligations stemming from the agreements concluded by the Union, or by Member States acting on its behalf, or by the Union and its Member States acting jointly, while the United Kingdom should however no longer participate in any bodies set up by those agreements

(And the following clauses are arguably a little humiliating too)

MilKit valves sound good

Obviously a little expensive but being able to replace sealant easily is a bonus

I bought some the other week - to go tubeless on a second bike - but haven't fitted them yet

No, the actual strategic value is pretty low aside from showing patrol routes/where they do PT

Well, maybe in broad terms, but not at the individual level. You just need to find the associated segment, look at the people on the leaderboard, trace them to their home area (when they're back from duty), and take them out... (If you're a disgruntled bad person)
