| Quote: | | | | | Perhaps because she (and I) can't find anything much to verify his claims?
For example University enrolment figures for 2019/20 are not available yet - the 2% increase was the 2018 intake so old news (even if only recently reported) and therefore not linked to recent events.
FWIW the increase (and actually I wouldn't be surprised to see one in 2019/20 either) is more probably due to this being the last time when EU students will qualify for UK government student loans, therefore a pre-Brexit bonus not a post-Brexit benefit. | | | | | Here you go!

They will, though, if you are sincere and invite the communication. I haven't seen that just now. Nor in your answer to me, so take my reply as a gesture of good will. | | | | | Where did Blueangel make demands? Entitled? Good grief.
What would it take for you to communicate in a sincere manner? I'm inviting the communication, most sincerely.
I do get the impression, however you are unwilling to engage with those of opposing views. | Quote: | | | | | I did not do that
Difference of opinions do not impact bans I issue. | | | | | You absolutely did this, only I believe you were overruled and the ban lifted. | Quote: | | | | | Please tell me where Blueangel requests or even hints this? | | | | | Exactly. | Quote: | | | | If you did not, then why the smirk/wink?

Things are only getting better for some people, it seems. | | | | | To correct you, things are only getting worse for a minority of people. For most people they’re getting much much better.

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!

| 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: | |

BJ want to get a trade deal with EU which would requite certain alignment. 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: | | |
