Never mind that they're paying a shitload just to come to welcoming, progressive, Global Britain to study. They're keeping universities afloat, helping local economies. But yeah, paint your fucking red cross all over education. Keep them all out. Extinguish the idea of 'students' while you're at it.

Original development also received significant EU funding.
Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.
