Isn't that because we need most of them as
A) Doctors
B) Nurses
C) Carer's
And (less importantly)
D) Students

Seriously?
Students are the only important thing a nation that relies on knowledge to have and they're less important? No surprise this country just flat out sells any innovation it ever creates (ARM, Westinghouse, Westland, all car manufacturers...).
A country can survive on greed for only so long. Literally all the growth recently was a private debt ridden hole.

I would say that non EU students are slightly less important than non EU migrant health professionals, yes.
I didn't say they weren't important at all.

The EU are as much to blame for sticking their middle finger up at us when Cameron tried to bridge the divide, if the EU want to act like dictators fine but the Anglo nations usually oppose that sort of leadership.
Most of the foreign doctors and nurses I've seen over the years have been Indian in origin.
I was just getting at the point that perhaps the system isn't working very well, EU or otherwise.
A lot of foreign students pay more than we do, but then end up going home after they finish their education so not sure what this is angling at.
Ive always planned my life to move countries when I am 55.
Same, except it was in my 20s. Life is to short to spend your time living in one place. That goes for those that never live outside the town they were born in as much as those living in the country they grew up in.
Go out, experience the world and perhaps bring things back to your home country in the future.
Yes, he was talking about non-EU immigration with that list

1. We've opted to leave the European Union, which is an economic and political union. We have not given the middle finger to Europe which is something else altogether. If you choose to see it that way, I would suggest it says far more about you than the British nation.
2. You'll need to elaborate on who your family are here. Are they members of the European (Gravy Train) Bureaucracy? If not, then in what way have they been given the finger?
3. The attitude of Brexit is far from insular. The great irony is that the EU is an insular institution, Britain is the engine of international business and trade. Why do you think the Germans wanted us to stay? Because Britain was a major advocate of free trade and global relationships.
We werent indeed insular but we appear to heading that way more and more every day with the noises been made.

In what sense?
If you are a member of a dozen social clubs and you choose to leave one, are you becoming less sociable? Of course not, especially when that club is itself an insular and socially exclusive club. We are still members of NATO, G7, The Commonwealth, UN and a plethora of other international organisations. In no possible sense of the word could we be described as isolationist. This is hyperbole of the most inane order.
In all other respects (trade, investment, immigration etc) Britain remains open to the world (albeit with sensible controls where appropriate). So really, what are you about?
Perhaps based on the fact we seem to be heading to a hard brexit with one of the biggest trading areas of the world and perhaps heading into WTO rules. The fact we want to close our borders more when other countries are opening theirs. The fact our Government has not mentioned once about staying in the EU space program post Brexit. The list goes on and on.
We are certainly in a different direction than before.

You just described the vast majority of countries.
And that seems the same level of hyperbole, yes we were part of a preferential trading "club" - which happens to be one of the largest in the world - but how did that stop us trading with the rest of the world? Which we currently do....
In fairness ESA is neither owned, directed or governed in any respect by the EU. Countries within the EU may form as its biggest contributor but it certainly has other financial partners outside of the EU.
policies that win votes, rather than based on anything meaningful. democracy is very broken and needs to change.
It worked for a long time as it was far superior to what came before it, but know current for of democracy cant take us any further.

Well apparently WTO rules are completely fine for trading as that's where we're heading with the EU.
Which means that the line about the EU getting in the way of us being a 'great trading nation' was a lie. Another one in the catalogue of Leave campaign lies.
They'll wake up sooner or later.
