I'm agitated at how dire your responses have been thus far.

Dare I suggest that you sit down in a dimly lit room with a hot bevvy of your choice and actually think about what you're proposing.

I don't think questioning your responses is in anyway insulting, if you put an opinion on a message board then you have to be aware that it can and may be scrutinised and refuted directly.

Report me all you like, the fact of the matter is that you haven't a clue.

It's fine to challenge ideas so long as things don't get personal. I appreciate you're in no position to do anything whatsoever about the kind of Brexit we end up with, but many sectors, such as higher education, are highly integrated with Europe and are understandably concerned. It doesn't take much in the way of empathy to appreciate that, but you've effectively blown a raspberry in their direction.

Not on this thread much unless your PG in disguise at the end of the day there's a long way to go in us leaving no terms can be agreed till article 50 is signed trying to 2nd guess the negotiations Is a mine field -
How it can be soft medium or hard Brexit is a mystery ATM!

You're obviously in no position to understand the immediate impact that Brexit has had on the British scientific community, and the higher education sector in general. European student numbers are expected to fall dramatically in the event of a 'hard' Brexit, which will leave a huge black-hole in Univeristy finances - which will ultimately come down to the British taxpayer to cough up for. Those supposed "£350m a week" savings will quickly be swallowed up from these losses alone.

Furthermore, there is now an emerging reluctance from our partners across Europe to do any more collaborative work with us over the long-run due to the lack of clarity regarding free movement of people, and intellectual goods.

But hey ho.

How am I not in any position to understand the effects upon the British scientific and higher education sectors. Is it because I only have 45+ years of experience in multinational hi tech development and close involvement with numerous universities in designing appropriate degrees for the scientific,engineering and project management communities.....please let me know what experience you have so that I can try to obtain your undoubted knowledge.........

Sure thing.

I don't claim to be an expert on the matter, but I do have a few years experience of academia under my belt - formerly employed as a visiting research scientist at one of the worlds most prestigious research Universities - I currently hold a position as a PhD Postgraduate Researcher at a medium-sized University here in the UK.

My current project revolves heavily around collaborating with partners within the European Union. We are funded by the European Union. My current University depends highly on European Union development money in order to compete with more financially gifted institutions, and my partner has come here to study through the provision of holding a EU passport.

I am also heavily involved in the writing up and application of grant challenges, of which are mostly provided through EU-funding and intra-EU collaboration.

A few years of academia eh, so your EU funding and having an EU passport holding partner couldn't possibly affect your unbiased view of Brexit then........I'm off for dinner and a few glasses of wine, I know when I'm beat.......
