I benefited from an ERASMUS exchange while at Uni - it’s a great scheme, and it’s tragic that future generations might not be able to participate because of #Brexit

‘...we will monitor the level of transactions and new income at each branch and if there is a sustained and viable increase in both then we will reconsider the closure of the relevant branch...’ @RBS - and the closures were not financially motivated? #nonsense
