There's a very strong campaign to rejoin Erasmus. Sshh
:dunky:
I do hope so - I've had 'Visiting Professorships' to universities in Prague and Bordeaux under this Exchange Scheme, but no more, alas.

Nearly eight years on from the vote, have we taken back control? Are we now in control? Is this what control looks like?

If it is, I'd hate to think what the country would look like if we weren't in control. Thank heavens for all this control.
The Right-wing flag-shaggers who prattle on about 'taking back control' are the same idiots who have happily allowed many of our privatised industries be taken over by foreign firms and governments. My water supplier, Wessex Water, is owned by a company based in Malaysia :shrug:

Still, we do at least have a partially State-owned railway - owned, that is, by the Dutch state, French state, the German state, etc!

I’m pretty sure the polling gap will narrow once the election is called. At that point, people have to make a choice and the proportion of “don’t knows” shrinks. The relentless lies of the government will convince some of the currently undecideds BUT…

We tend to collectively vote with our pockets. The government can wheel out all the false statistics they like, but they will run out of road once more or less everybody feels poorer.



I’m fairly sure the government is toast. It might not be the 1997 style landslide polls suggest at present, but Labour should be able to win a majority. While the Tories got a majority of 80 last time round, a lot of those seats were won by relatively small margins. It will not require a big swing to remove a chunk of the government’s seats and, with Labour seemingly back in play in Scotland, no amount of wedge issue populism will save them from a broke electorate.

And I’m going to throw myself into the Basingstoke Canal if I’m wrong.

Not deep enough, have tried several times to get onto that navigation only to be thwarted by water levels!

Utter corruption

Getting passed on Monday.



And people can't work out why someone with such obscene family death wants to be PM.
And people ask that if Labour don't publish, today, a plethora of policies in a manifesto that will instantly, clearly and indisputably reverse the national decline caused by the tories, then why vote for them?

As if this justifies allowing a bunch of venal ****s to carry on gorging on public resources, redirecting public money into their own bank accounts. Even voting for it. Sake. :shrug:

The NHS, Education, Judiciary, housing and all aspects of British Infrastructure falling apart after years of Austerity, Brexit exposed by the stark reality, Covid inquiry Procurement module coming up, even the most frighteningly naive starting to wonder what they've done to themselves. We're literally down to months left.

Desperately fill your pockets while you can, it really can't be a surprise can it ? :shrug:
