Don't worry about that, I'm English.

It really depends which subject you want to research in.

Most Universities around the country specialises in quite a few different things, which means you can probably find a Uni that does what you want to research, in the part of the country you like the most.

Like I, say, want to go and do Computer Science - from what I've found out, Bristol is among the best. So are Oxbridge. Manchester and York are supposed to be good, too.

The only thing you'd have to watch out for are the nuts who go around burning down labs that do animal research and then go and dig up your grandma.

As for the govt, they can go mexican themselves. I ought to know more, but all I know about Labour is that they've gone and put bloody tuition fees in place. £4000 a year ($7,900).

But, anyway, I'd have thought that mainland Europe would be more lax. Especially in Switzerland because of their laws - for example, euthanasia is permitted in Switzerland, with special clinics up and down the country.
