Now, who’s going to take the bait….?;)

Nice thought, BB. Joyeux Noel a tous……:):)

Marvellous director, who will be best remembered for the Pink Panther, despite Tiffany’s and Victoria, Victoria.

With that I cannot disagree, but will be amazed if we find out anything new!

Can there really be anything worse than we already know about “Brussels”??:(

Interesting exchanges but I think the key point is being missed. Too many students studying reading third rate courses at too many “universities”. It argues that with limited funds available the pot would be better filled if the numbers of students and numbers of universities were dramatically reduced to pre-1992 numbers.

Major’s policy of scrapping polytechnics started the ropt and it was exacerbated by the Blair/Brown mantra of university degrees for all and the result is a degraded higher education system. Poorly qualified students gain spurious qualifications for university entry, all to the sole purpose of reducuing youth unemployment numbers.

The UK used to be in the top flight of universities and higher education attainment. We need to return to that situation and we will not unless the present system is reformed.

I have made my views about the human rights legislation elsewhere on this forum. The framework of the law and those who interpret it fail to link rights with duties and obligations. This case and others similar make a mockery of the law.

Curses – these Mods are always too quick for us, when they’ve just been fed and watered….:diablo:
