Thread: Another Brexit Bonus

    Re: Another Brexit Bonus

    Restrictions of freedom of movement are what the Brexit voters wanted.

    Of course the rich clubs wont be affected.

    Just like society the wealthy will be fine.

    Brexit bonus with new rules on foreign players being allowed in, this hopefully expands the chances of home grown talent.

    I hope he doesn't.

    It would be dull in here without the challenge.

    It would be nice if we could have someone presenting that challenge in a less patronising and more compelling way, but we can't have everything!

    At times do you think balanced arguments, replies or challenges are equally patronising the other way , we know they can both rude and personal

    I still say the overwhelming majority of Brexiteers would be willing to accept all the project's practical failings as long as they've got their beloved Blue passport back and can avoid rubbing shoulders with Johnnie Foreigner.

    Article on Europe wide inflation in the Telegraph
    https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/othe...omMaestro=true

    All the data is here: https://tradingeconomics.com/country...ntinent=europe

    A few takes from me:

    Annual Inflation is at historically high rate in Europe and currently varies between a low 2.5% in Liechtenstein and 79.6% in Turkey

    UK is mid-ranking, at 9.4%, slightly below the EU average at 9.6%

    No obvious pattern emerges apart from the rates generally being worse the further east you get, which points to the Ukraine war being the biggest factor, which I think we all appreciate.

    The tide is slowly starting to turn now. Greece's figures today show a small decline in the pace of inflation, and we've seen this in Germany too.

    Do you have a link for that? Not that I dispute it. Although I heard that there were less Chinese students coming over due to ongoing lockdowns in the peoples republic.

    Can't find original link this is from the Telegraph:

    Attracting overseas students ‘should be celebrated’

    The Russell Group said that the number of UK 18-year-olds securing undergraduate places at top universities was up by 24 per cent on 2019, compared to an equivalent figure of six per cent for international students. “The fact that our universities attract people from around the world is an asset and should be celebrated,” a spokesman said.

    Ucas said that around half of those aspiring students, or 20,360 applicants, were without a confirmed place because they had missed the required grades to make their offer. The proportion of A and A* levels at 36.4 per cent was still significantly higher than 2019, when 25.5 per cent of grades were A or A*.

    A spokesperson for the Department of Education said it was a “myth that offering a place to an international student takes a place away from a student in the UK - places are offered to UK students and those from overseas in two separate streams. International students make a significant contribution to our universities which actually supports the creation of more places for domestic students, not fewer.”

    There's a sub plot here however. Student fees were circa £3500pa in 2009, now £9000. The Universities claim the £24,000 a year charged to overseas students subsidizes UK students. Now they want UK student fees to go up towards the £24,000. So when the govt. says 'no', the Universities can argue the ratio of overseas students will have to increase further. Probably one of the biggest rip-off industries of the 21st Century..

    It was never called the festival of Brexit. That's just what some influential remainy guardian types labelled it to scoff and dismiss it. And it worked! So very predictable. It always has to be on their terms remember..

    "Oh have you heard about this festival of brexit dahling?" "Oh how dreadful" blah blah blah

    Slightly confusing article here, but it says some of the biggest projects aren't opening until this month so does seem rather too early to judge too.

    FWIW, I think this See Monster thing in Weston Super Mare looks great. Only opened at the weekend apparently, which does rather highlight the futility of the article.

    Doesn't take long to get to Weston Bob. Why don't you take the train over and judge for yourself?

    “ Formerly titled the 'Festival of Brexit' when it was revealed in 2018, the £120million government-funded ceremony was coined as a way of championing Britain's decision to leave the bloc.”

    From that famously anti Brexit woke mob the Daily Mail

    It’s so this Government though - they set a target of 66 million visitors and less than 250,000 turn up.
