You've already said (correctly) that the UK has the best (by a very

do you really think that, in the long term, they are going to be
excluded from cross country research projects because of some
political argy bargy?

Yes. You just don't understand what the lack of free movement means in
terms of the hassle involved in getting people from abroad involved, do
you? Instead of just working with the best people in the field you have
to jump through so many hoops that most people won't bother. Look at the
situation 40 years ago.

Sharing a research project between counties does not mean that people
have to go and live in the other country involved

They work in their home laboratory and communicate using modern
methods of communications (that didn't exist or were prohibitively
expensive/unreliable 40 years ago) and attend the occasional
conference/meeting.

what's so hard?

I don't for one minute believe that the result of us leaving the EU
will require any paperwork at all for people to go on holiday/attend
business meetings. It's nonsense.

More Brexit fantasies!
