Balanced Question Time panel tonight - of course not! VOL 2
Discussion
I don't know anyone who works in the city of London, perhaps someone with first hand access could confirm whether city firms are fleeing the UK already as a result of brexit or whether that is more scaremongering?
FWIW the ERASMUS programme in higher education is in tatters right now, and the G aren't doing a damn thing about it. I voted leave, there were going to be repercussions but we do get some good stuff from the EU, like ERASMUS.

Have a look at the world league table of universities, you will be shocked how poorly mainland Europe is doing, especially compared to the UK and USA.FWIW the ERASMUS programme in higher education is in tatters right now, and the G aren't doing a damn thing about it.

Oh they're shocking, apart from a few gems. However pan-european academic ventures have benefited the UK immensely. As has immigration. The problem is, "immigration" is lumped together as a single issue. My GP is an immigrant, he's from South Africa. I work with immigrants too, from Germany, Canada, NZ and Japan. It seems they've all been lumped into the same catagory as all immigrants, including the pox-ridden hordes from sub saharan africa that arrive on banana boats, to get free HIV treatment and send benefits back home.Wiccan of Darkness said:

In what way is erasmus in tatters now? I thought it was still up for negotiation? FWIW the ERASMUS programme in higher education is in tatters right now, and the G aren't doing a damn thing about it.

I noticed that Davis almost admitted no deal would be totally naff when he started to criticise Barry for quoting WTO tariffs as "aiming for failure". He wasn't aiming for it, but pointing out "no deal is better than a poor deal" would still be - in Davis own words - failure. Davis effectively said failure is better than a poor deal. Great.

random chap, very random. jsf said:
That went very well for the conservatives and disastrously for Labour.
Makes a change.FWIW I've been in a QT audience, they ask you for political leanings in the application form, and also ask you to submit a question. They claim it's to get a reasonable balance in the audience, but they know if each audience member is left or right leaning.
Entirely possible to have an entire audience of a single political orientation, which frequently they do.
I had written off Davis as a buffoon but actually he came over quite well and I'm a bit more confident in his ability.
Related, I am slightly hopeful that the DExEU has actually prepared for the negotiations at hand and is just keeping very silent on the matter, rather than laying out all their cards on the table in advance.
