No surprises there

Given our public sector funding difficulties, and the understandably low priority research has in the political arena, we simply cannot afford to lose out on such a successful and empowering pot of EU money

"Scientists love evidence, and the evidence is clear", the Guardian blithely asserts. "Bluntly, if the UK were to leave the EU, we would massively and irreversibly damage an enterprise on which our future depends" it claims. Essentially, if we leave the EU then EU research funding would dry up and irretrievably damage our future.

This is an outright lie; there is no requirement for a member of the EU's research programme to also be a member of the EU. For fuck's sake, Israel is part of the programme. Even if we remain members of the EEA or not following Brexit, we'd still be able to participate regardless.

I'm really kind of ambivalent about a brexit tbh.

I hope the Tories can actually get a good deal prior to the referendum. Although I doubt they will.

>Implying there will be one.

The Guardian lying in order to further a political agenda? Must be a day that ends in y.

That's a funny way of spelling Loredas.
