So Brexit is a science experiment then? Strange, I thought it was the art of political game playing. Maybe I have stumbled onto a political science forum then. Who knew?

Problem is that the hostile environment only applied to those to whom the UK owed a debt of gratitude or who had settled and worked here and applied for a British passport, not to white Europeans given the right to be here without a reason.

commercially funded research will be open to wider participation and recruitment on merit rather than nationality.
100% of taxpayer's money currently devoted to supporting EU science projects will now be available for spending in the UK, i
How can people without hedge funds make some cash out of the disaster or avoid losing any more.
