Were they turned round or 'rescued' and brought to UK. I couldn't find a definitive answer so I was of the opinion they were brought here but no one wants to admit it.

edit - Oh, stupid me. I read properly what you wrote. Rolling Eyes

I'm just wondering who the government is likely to try and blame in situations like these, once the transition period with the EU is over.

Another good reason why people voted Leave. Globalisation hasn't just impacted the UK. The spoiled teenager in a fat suit Trump owes his election to similar concerns. Look at the Hueawei issue. The USA (and the UK) abandoned any technological lead they had, and handed the lead to other nations because it was cheaper (also abandoning the US/UK workforce). Now they find they're in a position where they (we) are disadvantaged in various ways. You can say this wasn't the fault of the EU but it is symptomatic of the global political zeitgeist which ordinary people are rejecting whenever they can.

The thing with the EU is that Britain is stupid enough to adhere to all the rules. Most of the EU countries cherry pick what they want and ignore the rest or look at 'legal' ways round them.

Yes, you are right about steel but our government wouldn't dare lie about it, they would get crucified by anyone wanting to put the boot it. The big problem with the British media and politicians is they would rather fcuk the country over than support their opponents or let a story pass.


Typical example of the UK Kowtow-ing to the EU was the special tracks required for folk to do a bike test.
The third direction was for part of the test at 50KPH which is the euro town speed limit akin to the U.K. 30MPH.
DSA took it upon themselves to interpret the Rules as read. So 50KPH is 30MPH which is over the UK limit.
So a few special courses back to be designed and built for folk to test.
It was bollocks.
There was no requirement to test at 31MPH.
Of course a bit of common sense would have suggested that someone even ask the euro if uk can test at the uk limit.
Or just ignore and still comply as the others do.

Gov.Com whankers.


I understand the argument and a scam no doubt helped along by the company what makes the cones and tarmac etc, but ive often wondered, wouldnt it have been just as simple to conduct the test at 32mph on a 40mph road?

Yes, because obviously you have expunged such effort in research in this issue you have spelt Huaiwei's name correctly.

I have no real bent either way in this issue, other than it probably isn't best to hand over control of the UK's communications network to the previous leader of the chinese People's liberation army.

But it's ok, feel free to label Trump as a spoilt child in a fat suit when even he -of obviously little intelligence- has managed to discern that handing control of - absolutely everything - in the world to the Chinese is a a bad idea.

In fairness. It was our MEPs job to scruitinise the legislation and apply for a derrogation making the speed in the UK different. Which they didn't. Presumably because they were too busy filling in expenses claims while riding the gravy train between Brussels and Strasbourg.

Why is it that everytime we attempt to talk about any issue regarding anything, its comes back to the general shityness of the human race?

Fair enough, but I think you should refrain from posting after a session on the sauce - expunged means to remove or obliterate, I think the word you were looking for was 'expended'.

Dude, you're having a bad night Laughing
