Crackdown on international students could hurt struggling UK cities. Billions lost to local economies. Education is a major export, being systematically harmed by xenophobic policies of successive govts. Students going elsewhere, loss of UK soft power. Exclude students from immigration total.

If we really wanted to reduce methane, we would stop feeding cows grain which is cheap, unnatural and gives them indigestion. Bovaer is treating the symptom (indigestion from grain) instead of the cause (eating grain in the first place). Cows need to graze grass!
