It is really funny how folks decry how much money Britain will lose if we Brexit (complete fantasy) while ignoring the Labour manifesto and the damage it will do - i.e. far far greater economically, as well as dismantling the successful elements of the education system while offering no ideas to improve the weaker areas.

That's the problem in a nutshell...comparing Tory Brexit with head left Remain. It leaves those Remain Tories in the suburbs and those Brexit loving lefties in the inner cities with a bit of a dilemma. It may well mean a very different result to the one polls are currently predicting.

Another hung parliament means more economic paralysis. The only good news is Farage won't be an MP so can only make an utter tit of himself from the outside.

The Tories losing Surrey to the Lib Dems would cause a few fireworks...

I believe Unis actually adore foreign/rich students as the fees charged are much higher than for UK citizens. Many senior professors spend time abroad, lecture tours, attending seminars and workshops etc, to encourage foreign enrolment at their UK Unis.

Sorry, for my misfortune of being liberally minded, poor (ish) background (mother a social worker and father a policeman) and through my own efforts being accepted at a top school (my family never paid, I took a place through merit). Thereafter, due to hard work, moving ahead in life, earning money, paying 40% tax (for several decades), I had an interesting global life, an intuitive mind and opportunities...

Labour would stop the root of those opportunities...

The point being: why the fuk would anybody in their right mind want to close good educational establishments or limit/stop the areas that helped to make them exceptional educational establishments?

That would do nothing to improve the education that the majority of students receive - this is where effort should be spent; helping every single student in every school have the possibility of an excellent education. You need to start in the state sector, at the crap schools, where no students get the opportunity of a quality education; improving these would help educational standards improve - that's the goal (or should be...).

I voted Tory in 2015 out of self interest having concluded, rightly, that a victory for Cameron would further bolster the £ which then went on to reach its apogee of 54 baht. Problem was, the silly twat went on to hold the Brexit referendum immediately rather than waiting until 2019, seemingly based on nothing more than the conceited, arrogant belief that the British were not as stupid as they undoubtedly are.

Ah well.

You voted out of self interest and got exactly what you wanted.

They voted out of self interest, in the certain knowledge that an arrogant, conceited wanker would get his just desserts. Win.

"They" voted out of stupendous stupidity, ignorance and prejudice and got chaos, loss and certain recession.

But the die is cast and you are now stuck with Brexit because the right wing Tory ERG have made it the core of their doctrine.

No matter what happens, it's a shit sandwich.

Brexit is finally paying off

EU net migration to the UK falls to lowest level since 2003

EU net migration to the UK has fallen to its lowest level for 16 years, ONS figures show.

The difference between how many people from the EU came to the UK for at least 12 months and how many left dropped to 48,000 - the lowest level since 2003.

The ONS says this was down to fewer people coming to Britain for work, while a record high returned home.

In the year to June, overall net migration from both EU and non-EU countries was 212,000.

The number of people arriving from the EU now stands at its lowest level since the year ending March 2013, according to the figures published by the Office for National Statistics.

The BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said there had also been a steady rise in the number of EU citizens returning home - 151,000 emigrated in the past 12 months, double the number six years ago and the highest figure on record.

EU net migration previously hit peak levels of more than 200,000 in 2015 and early 2016.

Meanwhile, net migration from outside the EU has gradually increased for the past six years as more non-EU citizens came to the UK to study, the ONS says.

It would be interesting to know how many professionals have left and how they will be replaced.

Nonsense, Brexit is far from the core of Tory Party doctrine; the best bojo hopes for even with a clear majority is for UK to pay dearly for the pleasure of straddling in and out while subject to EU whims.

£ should rise, for those able to take advantage, and then plummet to darker depths than before.

They won't be replaced, there will be no need for them in England.

^ One more month and then she has lost her EU allowance. I wonder if she is employable anywhere in her home country..

Strange thing to say, Lom. She speaks clearly and accurately, she is a voice of the people like few other politicians, selfless and decent.

She is a high quality Northern English woman, far prettier and more feminine than most up that way!

Yes..

It's a shame they didn't make their 'turned backs' protest permanent.






This is the trash Farage has co-opted into his rag-bag band of people who just happened to be available.

Fox is a doctrinal maverick whose early menopause destabilised her political bias that was previously orientated towards Stalinism but with Trotskyite undertones. She had a mystical epiphany and woke one morning with the bizarre belief that fascism under Farage was the true path towards political enligtenment and decided that capitalism was not the enemy but that her new found constituency of Kippers'RUs were in fact more threatened by the evil force emanating from the planet Zog who have colonised Earth by taking over the EU. She is as mad as a cut snake but in her dementia she disports herself along with Ann Widdecombe around a giant dildo erected in the latter's Dartmoor bothy to which they pay homage whilst naked at the witching hour hailing the icon as the "Great Farager".

One truly feels sorry for the EU parliament but at least they can take solace from the fact that by next year they will no longer have to entertain these fuckwits.

She doesn't speak, she shouts and obviously believes that it makes people listen to her and that she becomes more trustworthy by doing so.
It has the opposite effect on me and most other normal people..

^ seems as you seem to often parallel Mr Sausage, I'm not sure you fit into the group of "normal people". Not sure what that group contains either??? Is that normal rich or normal poor, normal educated or normal uneducated, normal European or normal Asian...

The things she said were very accurate, of course folks on here, the folks who like to consider themselves "normal", didn't listen to a word she said, didn't engage their brains and think, instead they just trolled with pent upo aggression and cliched automatic responses.

Do you "normal" folks ever actually listen to stuff people say or is it just "normal" to roll out pre-programmed responses in a trollish manner to "support" your binary side of the "argument"?
