Essex University's Southend campus to close due to "big fall in international students". MP says "The university is worth more than £100m a year to Southend’s economy".

I wonder if this could be another "Brexit benefit"? It's not mentioned as such.

‘If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university?

sending a #christmas card to continental Europe now costs £ 3.40. Sounds like one of those reverse #brexitBenefits. Also, the price increase in October wasn't widely reported because first and second class stamps stayed the same. And who sends letters abroad anyways ...

They can thank #NigelFarage et compagnie.

I was aware that the #UKCA logo existed, and was so crap we decided not to bother with it any more, but today on my new router I discovered an even more pointless #brexit logo, the #UKNI logo.

It's so crap it actually makes your product worse - literally the only thing it does is prevent your already CE certified product from being sold in the EU.
