    The random policy generator is today going after Arts students. How very 1930s Germany.

    I assume you’re in favour of today’s distraction tactic.

    You mean cutting out Mickey Mouse degrees like Make-up and golf course management? Yes

    I see Starmer will keep the Tories two child benefits cap. Quite right. He's looking more like a Tory every day.

    Shocked. I guess we need the proles to make as much money as possible and **** anything else.

    Mixed feelings about it. It wouldn’t benefit much of my generation and beyond and would be pretty far down the list of things to change with the meagre pot left behind for him once the Tories have siphoned off whatever else isn’t nailed down.

    Those useless degrees are a fraud on students. It's the universities that make money from them and the student is left with a useless piece of paper for the three years course

    Useless to you. Who are you or your ilk to tell a teenager what to study or not study? Some people may describe my course as useless given how many politicians did it.

    Economics with Spanish. The ladder has been pulled up on those wishing to do a year abroad because your lot can’t stand the thought of my generation gaining a bit of culture.

    That's not a Micky Mouse degree. Perfectly useful. We're talking a three year degree on David Beckham. That sort of stuff. It makes money for the university and they always give a First at the end of it.

    Again, if it’s what someone wants to study and a uni wants to offer it, who is Sunak or anyone else from the supposed party of freedom to dictate it’s not worthwhile? I assume if they haven’t just lobbed this out for the grifters to feast on there’s a long list of unis and courses they consider worthless.

    Well, I guess, one reason is that that person will want a government loan, and how likely is it they'll get a job that'll repay it, with a 3 year degree in Make Up Studies

    May be the answer is to exclude government loans from the really ridiculous degrees.

    As I said before, it's the universities that are cleaning up over this rubbish

    Do you actually know which degrees and universities they’re targeting?

    Haven't said, but they're looking at drop out rates and which produce jobs for graduates. When the tide goes out, you find out who's not wearing a bathing suit

    Might be a bit of a cliche but everyone without exception I’ve met who did just politics at uni has been a Tory ****.

    Left wing unis only of course.
