Keep calm. A wrecked economy is surely worth it (?)

So what you are saying is that for the sake of 0.04% of the population we should have stayed in the EU?

Look if the Erasmus program goes then that is a shame - however if it is seen as beneficial then I am sure there will be other solutions.

This is the problem - do not fixate on what is going to change and be concerned that is should not - concentrate on supporting the change for a brighter future.

At least the 0.04% is more then the fishing industry issues

Like what?

Like other Student Exchange programs. Why is that such a difficult concept to grasp?

There is a range of commercial lenders that are willing to fund courses for students.

"Quitting the EU’s Erasmus student exchange programme would “blow a hole” in the UK’s economy, taking away income of £243m a year and depriving 17,000 British young people of valuable work experience, according to a group of education and business leaders.”

Said a bunch of people who have vested interest in the Erasmus programme cos it is financially beneficial for them.

Sit back and relax. Plenty more bad news coming on this channel

concentrate on supporting the change for a brighter future.

I would.

Except for one problem. And you know what that one problem is because we've discussed that here for the past three years: There is no brighter future whatsoever. Not single photon of brightness. Just a vague deluding glow of warmth in the fuzzy brains of Homo Brexitis.

The rest of us have only the numbers on the meter to wrestle with. And they keep relentlessly ticking over.

Oh well, you may as well **** off then.

Where are you planning on going?

I don't know but you are clearly not grasping it. It's not that students need grants. It's not that aviation needs to managed etc etc. The point is these are part of the multitude of things that the EU were paying for and now aren't. We are now having to foot the bill and you brexiteers refused to anticipate the blindingly bleeding obvious when you recklessly burdened our great nation with these pointless problems.

Weak response.

For clarity this involves around 16000 British students getting EU funding to take up places in foreign countries (mainly the EU but also eg Norway). Yes the quote comes from academic organiastions that also get funding but the irrefutable fact is this is EU money coming into our economy and reckless gamblers like you (and the entire Conservative Party) (and the entire population of Homo Brexiitis who voted for a buffoon prime minister) have arranged for this support to be destroyed.

You were allowed to carry this act of financial violence but please don't pretend you didn't do it.

How is this "an act of financial violence"? If the EU is funding 16000 British students (presumably an annual figure) to study abroad, that money is going to those foreign institutions.
How can any money be "coming into our economy" when those British students will be spending anything they receive personally on drinking, shagging and experimenting with drugs (and everything else students get up to at university) in a foreign country, not in the UK?

His only experience of a student exchange is when he got turned turned down at the school disco by the French exchange student for having too many zits...
