December 29, 2020 by Swindon for Europe

I read in a Guardian article (see link below) that the Govt have announced that we will not be sticking with Erasmus, an instead they will set up our own British scheme named after Alan Turing. Clearly, it would be great if they do set up a scheme to pay for British students to study …
