It's another of the political trends brexit and the campaign for leave has legitimised in the UK.

Previously a politician saying one thing a while back and the complete reverse now would have had their feet held to the fire. The press would have pestered then incessantly and asked questions about it over and over again, possibly even hounding them out of office.

Now, like so much else, it has become standard procedure and attracts little attention. Maybe one or two instances of journos asking the same question about hypocrisy of a guilty polly six or eight times in the hope of a straight answer. Then they let it go and that's the end of that.

The perfect example right now is the one of Donaldson on QT in 2019 complaining bitterly about Sinn Fein doing back then what his DUP is doing now in refusing to enter the Assembly. The circumstances are identical. He calls it undemocratic and unfair on the populace and says it needs to be prevented from happening again. Now he's doing exactly the same and I don't see any journos pointing that out.

I bought 130 lithium Ion batteries from china 3 years ago to upgrade an old electric bike, the batteries are still working like new, have held their charge all through the winter.

After 5 months, I tried to charge them the other day and they hadn't sufficiently dropped their charge for the charger to kick in.

I removed the 3 lead acid batteries, which weighed over 12 kgs, for these which come in at 7.5 kgs. It has a air/fan cooled compartment, and a battery management system.
I regularly ride the 17.5 miles to work throughout the summer.
It should be remembered that china is the whole worlds manufacturer, and rightly or wrongly makes the majority of the world products, a few bit going wrong is inevitable.



Seeing as the western world now think it is beneath them to get their hands dirty doing manufacturing, the chinese have cleaned up. If you've ever looked ant any chinese videos on YT, you know that their technology can and does compete with the best.
