Herman 9,585 Posted August 16, 2020 Another area of concern for you is the effect of Brexit on the science community. Do you see any cause for optimism there? "Not really. There are three major science blocs in the world, which are North America, China and the far east and Europe. Britain is actually good at science and had a lot of influence in European science. And so we have lost power and influence. That’s a political thing. The psychological thing is that I meet scientific colleagues around the world and they just think that the UK has turned away from collaborative science by looking back on an imperial history that no longer exists. It’s just very sentimental. And we’ve taken a leap several decades into the past." Sir Paul Nurse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s an opinion piece, and ignored the fact the FTA negotiations just got stalled until at least Spring 2021. And so cute that he thinks that speaking English would lead to a natural trade alliance - like nobody has exploited that already - like for the past 70 odd years since WWII? Did you even know that the UK is the largest investor in America? And the point of a new trade deal is to increase the trade we already have not substitute one for another?

By the way - most companies don't say things when they are in talks with govt. about bail-outs that offend. Don't bite the hand that feeds you (actually a good motto for most Brexiters) Tata may sell stake in JLR, UK steel plant as talks with British govt fail 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted August 17, 2020 I am well aware, as are most, that if brexit was to happen then the value of UK assets would decrease - anyone buying them would be getting them at a lower price that also applies to the labour force, once wage levels and conditions have been reduced and if all of that can be set aside then a far lower pound in itself will enable foreign 'investment' to help themselves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
