But it actually relates to the 2018 intake so the situation some 16 months ago.

Whoops, I’m danger of getting dragged into another boring “we can dissect your argument to “own” you!”. Not interested! The good news keeps on coming, The CBI habe just recorded the biggest upward swing ever in business confidence. Happy days! I just know for the cynical Remainers that even if Brexit is the biggest success ever they’ll never ever admit it!

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | Whoops, I’m danger of getting dragged into another boring “we can dissect your argument to “own” you!”. | | | | | No. It's that you posted something out of context thus giving a false impression. I don't know whether that was deliberate or accidental, hence why I asked the question.
You posted... | Quote: | |  | | | There's been a lot of positive Brexit news over the past week or so....
... the number of new UK university enrollments from EU countries up 2% ... | | | | | ... but the article you provided the link for says... | Quote: |  | | | HESA data for 2019/20 will be particularly interesting to observe in light of the restoration of post-study work rights as well as the continuing Brexit process. | | | | | The only time 2% is mentioned in the article is in this context... | Quote: |  | | | The latest Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) data shows a slight increase in new students coming from EU countries (2%) with larger gains coming from markets outside the European Union (10%). Non-EU first-year student numbers grew by 18,475 between 2017/18 and 2018/19, with most of this increase at the postgraduate level. | | | | | | The following 2 users would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

Or you mean scrap any trade deal and trade only with NZ and AUS?

For anyone who's interested, this is from yesterday's FT... | Quote: |  | | | UCL has the largest intake among all British universities of non-UK EU students, with more than 5,000 enrolled in the last academic year, but EU admissions stagnated in 2019-20 after strong growth in previous years. The total EU intake for all under- and postgraduate study last year in the UK was 143,000. | | | | | https://www.ft.com/content/544a0bc8-...a-bae547046735 | The following 2 users would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

Effective teachers are at stage four but are continually open to and engaged in further learning or they would soon be back at stage 1. It's basic really.

Capital case sigma means the sum of. Tbh I always think of the second.

As far as I'm aware, the ECJ will still have juridiction in the event of an air crash. There's still a long way to go with EASA, which will hopefully be resolved by Jan 2021, but I've heard nothing about a body replacing the role of the ECJ in air crash investigations.
