Originally posted by Cirrus View PostI 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.

Strewth. You Homo Brextis are hard work
Originally posted by Mordac View PostHow 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?

Originally posted by Cirrus View PostQuite right. My point is nobody sticking a cross against Leave would have thought about managing aviation or subsidising students. They might however have thought the EU must do something but no matter we can just take that over with out any fuss. Aviation and students don't make the case for recklessness. However we are just scratching the surface here. It's the trajectory that should concern you. By the time we finally sort this out in ten years' time or whatever, will the costs be something Original can just put down to petty cash? There will be tears running down his face but will they be of joy, blinding from the brilliant uplands of Ye Olde Englande or the eye watering bill of the whole ridiculous exercise?Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007.

We're quite happy to carry on until someone bans shooting fish in a barrel.

I know it's a bit of a long shot but if you see any good news about the Brexit fiasco then please post here. Post haste as they say."Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark TwainComment

Originally posted by Cirrus View PostI fully recognise I stand more chance of getting an enlightened conversation out of a bunch of old duffers and bluffers in the local Conservative Club than I do of getting the usual suspects on here to face up to logic. However there are twenty times as many people viewing as the number of old codgers like you gayly missing the point repeatedly. We can only hope some of them are spotting trends. But worry not, for I'll report more news as soon as I see it.
