Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

EU only makes up just over 10% of University students currently. Top 3 are China, India and Nigeria. It may be the final straw but hardly the root cause of Universities going bankrupt.

When 10% of students currently pay £38k. And instead could suddenly pay £9k. Yet they cost £12k. That's massive.

It's a sudden £8.7b annual black hole in finances (£29k x 300k students)!

There are only 75,000 EU students (not 300k) at UK universities currently (23/24 figures). Even at pre=Brexit peak EU students were only 125,000 so not sure where you are getting your 300,000 from.

So that reduces your black hole by more than 2/3rds, so it is approximately £3bn from an annual budget of £48bn, important, possibly fatal for some Universities, but again, the actual issue is the overall funding model rather than this issue individually.

The non-EU students bring in about £26 bn. The rest of funding presumably comes from Central government and grants and foundations, and portfolios.

What on earth is this deal.

We should be telling the Europeans they are on their own dealing with Russia, which danger they have bought upon themselves, that their problems are their own, and to leave our fish alone.

Bunch of perverts.

How do you work that one out?

Which way do were the gas pipelines running again? Then have a think what was going the other way.

And why the hell did they leave themselves so vulnerable?
