Brain Drain 2.0: Committ UK Border to counting us out.

Petition Details

In the aftermath of the EU referendum a high number of professionals are considering leaving the UK for jobs in the EU or elsewhere.
This is something the government can and should monitor as the departure of those unloved experts will negatively impact the UK economy.

Additional Information

The "brain drain" was a concern for governments in the sixties and seventies who were concerned to see many scientists and academics choosing careers in the US because of better pay and conditions.

Now that the future of higher education is in doubt and many jobs are at risk the UK looks set to see a second brain drain.
