@LordRickettsP The decision not to participate in Erasmus is tragic but entirely coherent with the insane, dystopian Brexit project of withdrawing Britons from shared European culture/values.

@SJimons Think for just a second : you are parents of young children. You worry that their school/daycare will close and that you will have to keep them at home. You might (all) get ill/be confined. You both have to work. Surely some stocking up is sensible?

@GabLattanzio Macron ne sait pas ce que « gouverner » veut dire. Il est issu des formations et des métiers où toutes les décisions sont prises dans l’intérêt de l’actionnaire à très court terme, ce qui provoque le chaos organisationnel. La réponse de Macron au chaos est l’autoritarisme.

@FCahen Le droit à un congé de maternité payé ne devrait pas dépendre du secteur d’activité ou du statut professionnel. La prise en charge globale de la maternité a besoin d’être revue du point de vue de la mère et de son bébé et de ce qui leur procure le plus de soutien.

@AntonSpisak Really not. Research students can still bring dependents. It really isn’t desirable for young, temporarily internationally mobile students to bring their families. It detracts from their educational experience and aggravates the student accommodation crisis.
