Ha I was chuckling from the intro " Oxford the UK's equivalent of Harvard or Yale, or even older I think " Given Oxford is the oldest university in the english speaking world, founded in 1096. I think we can say Harvard and Yale are the USA's version of Oxford and Cambridge. Keep up with Al, he has a lot of good stuff out there. Don't forget his takes on "All jobs are terrible", "What every parent must know " and of course, " National Anthems"

Oxford University in England is the oldest English speaking University in the world. It was established in 1096...roughly 600 years before America's oldest University, Harvard. Oxford University is the second oldest University in the world after The University of Bologna in Italy which was established 7 years before Oxford.

The EU's 7-year budget they're about a year into is 2/3 new debt and a year in they've "lost" €10 billion, which seems to happen each year... Their own auditors have created an "unknown" category for expenditure and they've not been successfully audited externally in decades... Any business with this record would have been shutdown and it's executives imprisoned, but the EU treaties specifically exempt agents and executives from any external investigation never mind accountability. They are actually responsible to themselves - themselves being the EU Commission who coincidentally make all the decision, enact the daily running of the EU and pass down edicts, judgement's (their court the ECJ is tasked with upholding the political doctrine not justice) and regulation each member cannot refuse, delay or even question without significant sanction. Look at Poland fined €1 million A DAY for non-compliance because they won't bend a knee to the EU over their own judicial system. You will not hear criticism of the EU on mainstream media because their funded or influenced through other agencies they fund. Science, technology, education and media are the weak spots they focus on, when the UK was a member we NEVER got anything that wasn't ours in the first place, they just returned a portion, but it came with strings attached most notably the need to promote the EU as a positive force to actually get any money back - which is incidentally why the younger generation has been indoctrinated to believe the UK didn't exist before the EU and the EU is older than 30 years old... You'll hear funding suspension and threats against it creep out in stories from time to time, they threaten funding or "withhold" monies due to these countries until they comply with every stipulation and regulation, without arguement, discussion or debate.

@@jillosler9353 That's the case in most modern countries and in fact it seems to be worse in the UK than it is in the Euro Zone, which is quite surprising when the UK is less exposed to Russia oil and gas, which kinda suggest the Tories have messed things up in the UK far more than people realise and probably why Labour won by a landslide. As for the Euro and the Euro Zone, they are doing far better than when the crisis was going on, even Greece seems to be in a better place.
