Pardon. What was that again?

Gary Lineker is a clone too.

Do you think this looks like a tax on charitable institutions?
On universities the white paper only reduces the graduate visa from two years to 18 months (which is a win for the DfE).
The bigger thing universities will be worrying about is this little timebomb.

The university advice in full is “try to undo some of the unhelpful mythology about the relationship of wealth to intelligence or hard work”. By doing this, it looks like the university thinks some of its students are inherently stupid or at best stupidly educated in believing the ‘myth’.
It doesn’t matter who said it. It’s stupid.
Wow! Believing in “the relationship of wealth to intelligence or hard work”. Could these students really be that stupid? I guess so. Maybe they should read this.

Of course. But who’s listening? It’s a disgrace.
