Why today would any international PhD students WANT more than 4 years in the USA? Get your degree then . . . GTFO

Or just never study in the USA at all . .

    Every time this stupid story hits the press . . the answer is the same: Dublin, Dublin, DUBLIN. Take your 2nd passport, fly to Dublin, take the train to Belfast, cross on the ferry, train home.

    This is a moronic policy by the UK Home Office and should be fixed . .but there is such a simple - and LEGAL - way around it.

    Watching how the intentionally confusing named Independent Green Voice was able to get on the ballot in Scotland and scupper the Scottish Greens for just enough votes to cost them 2 seats . . . I and a group of left-leaning friends are considering starting the Rejoice UK Party . . with the dual intentions of hovering up a few ignorant right wing voters (votes by accident) AND as a platform to voice the most extreme left-wing policies we can think of.

    This post has added an additional idea for the future party manifesto: requiring Reform and Restore registered voters to house properly registered asylum seekers.

    I was once standing at international arrivals at Heathrow T5. There was a bald chap standing down the rail . . looked just like Patrick Stewart. Eventually a younger girl (daughter??) came out, ran over to give him a hug . . and I could hear him speak . . oh, that IS Patrick Stewart. His voice is rather distinctive.
