HMMM History repeating itself in any way?

The UK is in a good position to take advantage of this given that A: We have the same first language as the US B: We have a University sector that punches above our weight

On top of all that our University sector is in financial crisis and an influx of foreign students, paying more than domestic students, would help the situation.

It's an open goal economically but with the mood of the zeitgeist around immigration right now it comes with risks

It's the big reduction in foreign students in recent years that has put the University sector into financial crisis in the first place.
So I think that ship has sailed, as far as the UK is concerned.

the bit about the amish having no autism there are less than half a million amish in US and canada so would be a handful anyway Cuba has about 8.6 million

Listening to him speaking at the UN now. I think he's going for the world record in lies in a speech.
