Science - it's a girl thing
According to the EU. They've made a song, and a video.

I suspect all the girls will want to do science now.

**EDIT** There is also a Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/sciencegirlthing, mostly full of angry female scientists.

The thing is...
...in between all the rubbish, there are some okay-ish videos with actual female scientists talking about what they do. But then some genius decided to make the context totally patronising.

Not wishing to start anything here but I think the EU is a good thing.

I'm not anti-EU either.
There are things wrong with it (like making this video), but there are many things where they are preferable to national governments. Their actual appreciation of and legislation regarding science beats the crap out of most national governments.

I'ld like to split from the E.U totally
It's one of the few things I agree with Bob Crow on.

It was ok when it was just a bunch of trading agreements and a promise not to kick off with each other but now it's just gotten too big and unwieldy.

Greece and Ireland should default

The Greek middle classes should start paying taxes.
Instead of buying up lots of houses in London to move their money out of the country.
