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.......

There is no shortage of opposition to Brexit from academia Pete. It isn't as though we need rely on a solitary anecdote.
 
This girl could possibly win.......

"Asked if she might do a U-turn on her anti-EU stance having seen the seeming chaos of organising a Brexit in the UK, Le Pen said: “There is no chaos at all around Brexit. On the contrary, chaos was forecast and it didn’t happen. Britain is doing better than it did before Brexit, the economic indicators are very good ... consumer confidence is at its highest in years.”

If the EU attempted to punish the UK for Brexit, she said, Brussels would be “showing its real face.” “The EU has always shown its real face in these circumstances; it showed its real face with Greece and it has tried to show its real face with Britain,” she said.

“The EU doesn’t advance by adhesion, because it knows people no longer adhere to its political structures, it advances by threat, intimidation and blackmail.

“The way the EU has reacted to Brexit was I think extremely revealing for European people - at least for those who thought there was still an ounce of democracy left in the European structure.”

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.
