Boris is quite funny, but the theory that the market will provide as usual collapsed once it faced with a problem. And Boris has no interest in detail. So we copied command economies. In spite of all the lies we've spent more to less effect than most of the EEC. If you've spent ten years xxxxing a country up you have to do something when circumstance is going to find you out. Westminster is a waste of airspace - of roughly the same value to mankind as Brussels and Strasbourg - with the same kind of people and class in charge. The EU is a knot of bankers who wield power and some nice white liberals who acquiesce for the sake of a quiet life. In or out of it makes little difference.

As for Matt, Uni can be a great experience, life-enriching and a gateway to an exciting future. But life ain't all Eton, Baliol and the Foreign Office. For many people uni can be time and effort wasted. Tutor contact can be minimal and the work repetitive and second rate. At best students grow into new people whose outlook has been changed forever, at its worst education will become door closing behind you that you never want to re-open.
