No one notices but......
A big story this week was that he UK has announced a science and research partnership with Switzerland. Since both the UK and the Swiss want to be part of Horizon, the EU’s science behemoth, this is a sticking plaster solution. Although the Brexit ultras pathetically tried to portray it as an alternative science giant that will humble the rest of the continent.
In fact it is not so much, “Behold my works ye mighty and despair”, more like the two kids on the naughty step who will play top trumps until they are let back into the room with the grown ups.
The EU runs Horizon, we want to be part of Horizon, we do things their way or we are out of Horizon.
It is not difficult to understand but it is costly, if you don’t get it.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
