Who says the Germans don't have a sense of humour..
Hard to believe that someone on question time chose to vote to leave because of that reason.May up in Newcastle doing a Q&A with the public. The highlight?
"Q: Are there any plans to reduce the cost of university education? Up here it is easy to get on a ferry and go to Holland for university.
May says the government is looking at this at the moment. Cutting the length of university courses from three years to two years might be an option, she says."
Ffs..

They don't want oiks in universities. They only want middle and upper-class kids to be educated.
Ultimately for everyone to get a university education they will need to lower the standards.
We'll wind up with a glut of people with 2:1 business degrees, flipping burgers and nobody with any vocational skills to solve the country's productivity problem.
There should be a wider choice of career path for young people - and for the country.
Who wants everyone to get a university education? It should be open to anyone who qualifies, but it shouldn't be just something that everyone gets. Is Labour pushing for that or are you just throwing out a strawman?
Where else can you sit around dossing for years smoking dope and pissing it up? And all that at the same time as studying for a degree as a gnat surgeon.
Sure, those darn kids should be straight down the pits doing an honest days work for an honest days pay! They don’t know how easy they have it, not like in our day. We’d walk 12 miles to school with no shoes in the snow.. etc etc..
Thats the spirit
He gave up doing that ages ago in this thread. All he does is post pissy one liners with no substance
No shoes?!? We used to dream of having no shoes!
Degrees should be free for vocations that the country actually needs like engineering and medicine.
If someone wants to spend 3 years doing Beyoncé Studies or something equally useless they should pay for it.
Likewise the education system should offer easier routes into useful, practical apprenticeships.
All IMO.

You do realise that Mogg is a backbencher and not in the cabinet?
The UK will not be the ones erecting a hard border.
That's such a shit idea. The country needs culture too, maybe you don't care about art but it's part of who we are and I'm glad that there are people who are passionate about that kind of stuff and able to further the understanding of people who aren't so passionate.
It should, but the government we have at the moment will think that the situation where private profitable companies have countless people doing unpaid internships is a better, more cost effective option for themselves and their big-business mates.
That's a ridiculous notion. If there's no deal for aviation, should we just fly anyway? I mean, they won't shoot us down.
Feck's sake. There goes my hope of tenure...
Apparently only the rich kids should be allowed to become artists, musicians and authors.
I hate it when people moan about poncey degrees. That's pretty much the fecking point of universities, to further knowledge and stimulate creativity. It's not to churn out cnuts looking to get loaded working in finance.
Mogg hasn't shown himself to be a career politician like the others. He's more passionate about his beliefs than his political career.
We have a weak prime minister who changes her mind like the wind.
He had plans in case of no deal.
Why?
About 40% of British exports go to the EU (a declining market), and when we leave the EU we shall automatically be one of the biggest customers.
We're talking about an Irish border.
Does Mogg do what the Pope says then?
Nothing stopping them. But (IMO) useful, practical degrees that are likely to produce graduates that can fill gaps in the UK workforce should be incentivised.
I assume he tries.
Yes he's a real down to earth, working man's man, not one of those career politicians:
Rees-Mogg was born in Hammersmith, London and educated at Eton College. He then studied History at Trinity College, Oxford, and was President of the Oxford University Conservative Association. He worked in the City of London for Lloyd George Management until 2007, then co-founded a hedge fund management business, Somerset Capital Management LLP.[4][5][6] Rees-Mogg has amassed a significant fortune: in 2016, he and his wife had a combined net worth estimated at more than £100 million. Moving into politics, he unsuccessfully contested the 1997 and 2001 general electionsbefore being elected as the MP for North East Somerset in 2010.[7] He was re-elected in 2015 and 2017. Within the Conservative Party, he joined the traditionalist and socially conservative Cornerstone Group; his views on social issues are influenced by his adherence to Roman Catholicism.
Yes but it's odd that he gets so much air time and media coverage for a backbencher, strange that other backbenchers don't get the same coverage.
Farage has never even been elected to the British parliament but he got plenty of media coverage.
Wonder why that is. Who really controls the UK?
The gullibles lap it up.
The British government gave the electorate a choice to vote on membership with the EU. In a democratic vote we chose to leave.
If we all believe in democracy, that should be it. We leave.
If we all believe in democracy, that should be it. We leave.
You keep ignoring facts, the UK have no choice but to erect a hard border if they leave with no deal, I think that's the 500th time someone has said that in this thread but keep ignoring all facts.
What are you waiting for?
He was born into a wealthy family, and started his own investment business. His religious principles mean that he is prepared to against the grain of popular thinking without caring whether or not it would hinder his political career.
Quite.
Isn't greed a sin? Lying surely isn't well looked on by the church?
Go on then, no-one's stopping you, close the borders tomorrow if you like. Have you been stocking up on tinned food?
Aye he's a modern day Jesus Christ.Here he is loving his neighbour and healing the sick and poor by *checks notes* lobbying to reduce Britains's commitment to foreign aid:

Anyone advocating for a no deal brexit is not of sound mind.
They leave the EU with no deal they trade with WTO rules. No hard border no WTO.
You're WUM aren't you?
That would probably depend on the trade agreement the UK had with the EU. It is not straight forward. If the UK was to charge tariffs for goods, a border is unavoidable, but the UK doesn't have to charge tariffs. It's a complicated scenario because nobody knows what trade would be like in a no deal situation.
One of the UK's biggest suppliers is France (7% goes to the UK)
If all trade stopped (which it won't but ) Uk loses 40% France loses 7% notice the difference and France are one the largest, some countries in the EU hardly deal with the UK.
