Looser regulations at home won't eliminate the need for compliance with international regulations to purchase nuclear fuel. Britain doesn't exactly have a lot of uranium mines.

Orkney Mainland has yellowcake, and I'm sure the UK government will take the same measured approach to local concerns as they have about fracking if for some reason the usual sources refuse to send fuel.

Anybody here who is close to any kind of news/info outlet/an EU official, who can answer me a question?

I have been hearing a lot of doom mongering about Brexit from all corners, especially from the EU, that the UK will become an economic hellscape nobody in their right mind would want anything to do with.

Fair enough. We have made our choice now, we will no doubt get on with it and make the best of the situation.

I have also been hearing, from all the euros that I work with and the national media, that there is a literal hoard of EU nationals that still want to come here despite us giving the EU the finger and about to regress into an apocalyptic pit of despair (or something, there is a lot of hyperbole about), and that the EU is threatening their worst (or even worsterer or whatever, since they were already threatening the worst if we left) if the UK won't let them in.

What gives?

Everyone involved is hoping that the handful of old, egotistical white men negotiating on both sides don't gently caress everything up for millions of other people they don't know/care about, hope that helps.

There's at least some opinion that exiting the EU pretty much necessitates leaving Euratom (haven't had time to check this guy's reasoning though): http://eulawanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/the-uk-brexits-euratom-legal-framework.html?m=1

As this guy states, "The Euratom treaty is a separate treaty from the treaty which initially created what was the European Economic Community (EEC) � now known as the European Union (EU). Equally, Euratom is a separate international organisation from the EU." - hence why she didn't have to leave.

lol the battle between J-Melz and The Corbster to see who could tailspin the left into electoral oblivion the fastest would be something to watch but I'd rather have a strong left or *whisper* centre left instead of that

What are the top ten education systems in the world, anyway, and what's the tenth?

e: got the source quote

I'm not sure how well that holds up, as a claim - the FT article cites no sources.

If only it was trivial to link PISA data to the OECD's records about inequality.

Isn't this relatively easy to resolve by upping wages to min wage and also offering workers food / clothing / accommodation at below market rates instead of providing them "free"?

Edited for quotation marks around free, no need to be so hostile.

I would assume they think it's harm reduction to effectively dock the food/clothing/accommodation before they can spend it on booze/drugs which is what led them to be wards of the third sector rather than give people 12 grand a year after taxes and act surprised when they get hosed up and don't pay their bills, because does a housing charity really want to set the bailiffs on vulnerable people who can't pay? No.

Not all homeless people are addicts, stop that.

Absolutely, but many are, as the writer of the article said. Many people are homeless because of untreated/self-medicated mental health problems. I'm not being a oval office by saying that, it is genuinely true, and dealing with homelessness in a long term way requires dealing with every aspect of that, from dealing with the causes of the original trauma to better mental health access and a better housing situation for everyone.

quote:

And a homeless "charity" more interested in taking folks benefits of them than actually helping probably needs to be fired into the sun because that's just helping no one but themselves.

Yes, I agree.

Now that article 50 is triggered it's a case of which party is pushing for the better policies in the deal. Now, having watched that May interview on Wednesday be a total car crash I was hoping that Corbyn would stomp her in the rebuttal interview... but despite some strong moments he mostly just puttered on what should've been a slam dunk, especially given Brillo's obvious contempt for May.

What do you as a brexiteer want out of this process?

The only way we can help the poor is for green voting university students to engage in a spending war with them to see who truly supports Labour the most.
