One down, 999 to go...

The first tranche in a whole raft of cuts has been rolled out. There will be more, going forward.

For some reason, my eye lighted on:

Cuts of £200m to the university budget will mean 10,000 fewer extra places than had been announced.

This is what is known as making "efficiency savings" in order to "protect front-line services", I believe. Now, where did that white rabbit disappear to?

It's not as if the country needs educated people, is it?

I believe the phrase goes "If you think education is expensive, wait till you see what ignorance costs".....

That is probably their plan. Secretly they know that anyone who didn't get into Oxbridge doesn't count as educated. And uneducated people are easier to lead by the nose.
