Sometimes it takes a while to simplify the concept to a level the lowest common denominator will understand.

But we got there I guess.

You do indeed guess. A lot. Maybe one of these days you'll use facts and experience instead and you'll not need to guess quite so many times

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...

shorty greasy spot spot??

So specific individual things won't be any better but general things will be. Why didn't anyone else explain that to us as well as you have just done?

Not everything will be 'better' in the short term when looking at specific individual 'things' but in the longer term 'things' will generally be 'better'.

What are friends for if not to share experiences? I'll gladly report any good news I see.

I was thinking that herring would be a lot cheaper as our fisherman won't be able to sell it all into Europe after we ban EU vessels (it spoils too quickly to tolerate burdensome import processes). However sadly we don't have the necessary infrastructure currently. One solution would be to try and buy up the German and Dutch companies involved. However we need to wait to see whether anything can be salvaged. As you know, we don't eat the fish that comes from our waters currently so it's not just a bit of Original's think positive - look on the brightside. Trade, production and consumer behaviour will all need to change. But fingers crossed.

Yes I know - but you can be positive about any changes and look to leverage benefits from them.

Of course that will only be when it suits your rhetoric.

I 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.

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.

He's an opinionated bigot and whatever logic about net spend is put on a forum by you won't penetrate the cranium and hit the tiny target therein.

Happy*-Manc, we know all that. It's really good fun watching him get his underwear-of-choice in a mahoosive twist though. I mean, what sort of mentally-dislocated inadequate wants us to believe he's actually George Clooney?
We're quite happy to carry on until someone bans shooting fish in a barrel.

*I assume you are very happy today. I'm not, I had Abu Dhabi City in my weekend acca, buy hey-ho and all that...

[LondonManc]

The EU was paying for those services with our money. We didn't get them for free. In the years 2014 to 2018 the UK made net contributions on average of £7.8Bn per year to the EU.

Hth.

[Zigenare]

Quite 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?

Really? You're making a hell of a lot of assumptions.

[Mordac]

It doesn't matter what the students are doing with it. Now the EU give them the money. In future they won't. We'll have to give them the money.

Get it?

No we won't. They'll have to borrow it, like every other student has to do (unless their parents are able to fund their studies). Same applies if they want to get their media studies degree in Nuremberg or Bratislava. I doubt many will want to, now they won't be getting any freebies from the EU. It was a nice exercise in bribing the young to worship the EU but with very limited usefulness.

Get it? I'm pretty certain you don't...
