LondonLax Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 45 minutes ago, Enda said: Yes, Brexiteers will indeed see it as a victory. They do not see how it will damage the long-term interests of the country (British students get worse teachers, the research that gets done is of lower quality, theres’s less innovation, crappier universities, slower growth in the economy, waning interest from foreign students, which means even less money coming in from fees unless you lower academic standards, even less innovation…) It’s like if you made the Premier League only hire British players, but every other league didn’t change their rules. The Premier League would drop in quality overnight. You might argue it would help the England team in the WC, but there’s no WC for universities… Whilst we are both on the same side of the ledger when it comes to Brexit I do understand that it is not entirely a black and white issue. Like any of the intense debate topics that run and run there are some reasonable points on both sides. In your example I do get that free market global capitalism means that the best and brightest lecturers from around the world will gravitate to the best universities, regardless of nationality. Whilst free market capitalism does lead to these bigger efficiencies in trade it also has a tendency to leave behind many ‘losers’. Not only the point we talked about with a U.K. national being passed over for the job, but also in this example you are talking about there is a result ‘brain drain’ from the country your lecturer has left, to the detriment of that population. Whilst free market capitalism does generally result in the most efficient solution on a macro level there is some value in inefficient protectionisms on an individual level which cannot reasonably be dismissed out of hand.

Genie Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Imagine if he voted leave Quote Stockport assistant coach Andy Mangan has been denied a move to Real Madrid after his work permit was rejected. The former Tranmere and Shrewsbury striker was on the verge of joining the La Liga champions to work under boss Carlo Ancelotti, with the switch subject to a work permit. But the 38-year-old's application, which could have taken up to nine months to process, is understood to have been rejected by the Spanish government and the move is currently off. bbc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
