I wonder, just a thought, anyone suggesting privatising them?
More second class universities? What, like Cambridge?
Alas, the present VC at Cambridge has obviously set his heart on that.

In fairness to Cambridge, I’d consider it to be Upper second class.
Wouldn’t a decent and well-run set of polytechs be a better solution?
At least you’d get engineers instead of academics out of that..
