Yes I should have stuck to the usual Daily Mail report on this, rather than trying to appease the Anti-Daily Mail Brigade, by posting from that Left-Wing rag.

// The Guardian news report is better than the snidey Op piece. //

I've just realise that could be read as aimed at you AOG. I apologise for that. What I meant was the Guardians News Report is better the Guardians Opinion piece by Melissa Berrill. That is to say, there are two Guardian links, and one is terrible and the other is better.

Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Don't think its caused a problem for any potential undergraduate.Anyway,William has a degree already.Only thing is that it might be a bit easier for a member of the Royal family to gain entry on such courses a bit more quickly.

No Gromit I had no problem with that, since I realised who you were referring to, but thanks anyway for your apology.

I was wondering if you were going to take a whole "it's not the Daily Mail, bet that surprises you" line. No, it doesn't surprise me, really. This is an opinion piece so sometimes opinions appearing in papers can be utter dross. This is one of those times, clearly.

As far as I can tell he hasn't been 'allowed a place'. He's paying for a short course. Nothing wrong with that.

[grumpy01]

Sorry Zeuhl I was just expressing an opinion.

[EcclesCake]

Succinctly and accurately put Naomi.

The only story here is Melissa Berrill getting her knickers in a twist over nothing!

[Zeuhl]

Sorry grumps

That is still allowed - but only just! ;-)

[naomi24]

Thanks Eccles - and you're right about the woman's underwear. It's pants! :o)

>>>>on anything they like under a Tory Government.

Pathetic reply.

Things like this happen exactly the same under a Labour government.

[anotheoldgit]

Heh what's this Gromit, one is no supposed to take one's decorations down till 12th night?

[Zeuhl]

What you doing on here aog?

Shouldn't you be off watching Zulu?

[anneasquith]

[Zeuhl]

Yes Anne

But Graduate unemployment is then a serious problem

"Why shouldn't the stinking rich be allowed to spend their money (gleaned from the taxpayer) on anything they like under a Tory Government. "

you gotta love the politics of envy

ok, lets take the cost of the course and divide that by the number of taxpayers and that comes to....err hold on my calculator is throwing up an error
