Brexit thread - what happens next

[wildman]

Are there any legal implications to excluding the UK from bids? We are still fully paid up members at this time and have yet to officially announce our departure.

no actual legal recourse as they can choose who to include based on merit/ skill etc and could easily prove that the selection they made was appropriate for the project being comissioned. So unless there is a clear cut case that a UK scientist is being prejudiced against purely for being from the UK (yeah good luck proving that one in court), then there is no recourse.

A bit of good news: falling pound boosts UK tourism

Might also be due to the fact all other European capitals were under attack, so anyone from Hong Kong planning to visit Europe will chose the safer options.

this is a good thing, as long as we keep our streets safe.
Good work security forces Keep it up.

But does that offset the extra we're going to be paying for all imports?

Unfortunately the pound rising or falling is a double edged sword. You win some and lose others. Much better to keep it stable.

No, because it's not the UK being excluded from the bids; it's individual UK scientists. Collaborations are not a case of equal opportunities anything; they're a case of a group of scientists deciding to apply for funding together. As such they're subject to as much petty politics as anyone likes.

Never thought I'd post Slavoj, but here we are:

He hates the EU in its current form; he hates Brexit even more. More for the Gisela Stuarts of the world.

Watching that video, the first thing I wondered was whether he had been snorting coke beforehand?

 

[silversurfer]

He is pro communist isnt he. I watched that video yesterday and almost posted it here also because he seemed quite aligned to what I think, the EU is severely challenged and UK leaving may be of not much note in history retrospectively because of that

Its not about being a note in history, it's about sticking several sharp objects into Junkers...

I don't trust anyone that touches his nose that often

By the sounds of it some of the UK scientists are now finding that they aren't being allowed to join consortium to bid for funding from the EU (we pay in about 5 billion for R&D and get back about 8-9 billion), as the other scientists in the consortium are worried about the fact that these are multi year projects where the participants might be doing work in different countries.

Basically without knowing if the various people will be able to do the necessary exchanges/work in each others countries they don't want UK scientists involved as it could cause massive problems.

An outcome that I don't think comes as much of a surprise to those who had any clue about long term multi year projects that involved workers from multiple countries.

if you cant afford brands then import prices will drop, infact if we abandon tax on items it could be cheaper, remember import duty tax raises the price of goods for the consumer, so people look for substitutes.

I would rather stick them in Gove, Boris and Cameron.

We should have two threads - One that focuses on the potential benefits and positive aspects of BREXIT, and one for the bitter 'democratic-when-it-suits-them' losers who voted to remain.

The hand-wringing that is going on in here is hilarious. Keep it up!

and one for the bitter 'democratic-when-it-suits-them' losers who voted to remain.

Good to see this stupid irony is still being banded about.

If they were pro-democracy then they wouldn't be supporting the EU in the first place.

How many million 'remainers' voted to ignore the result again? 4 million?

Go on.

That'd be a pretty small thread at this point

 

[Mr Badger]

Imagine that - 4 million remainers supporting a petition created by a leave voter and indeed Nigel Farrage's position that a 52/48 result would not be the end.

That'd be a pretty small thread at this point

You could just fill it with Daily Express headlines. What do we have today?
